Hey, I'm Josh Speagle, host of the podcast, Lunatic in the newsroom.

If you enjoy journalism that drifts into mild panic, wild overthinking, and a guaranteed nervous

breakdown, Lunatic in the newsroom is for you. It's news like you've never heard before.

The only newsroom with a panic button, you'll laugh, you'll cry, and gasp and horror as the show

spirals completely out of control. It's not just news, it's emotionally unstable.

Lunatic in the newsroom, listen today.

Good morning listeners, I'm Morgan Riley, bringing you the pulse of Dallas Fort Worth.

Today, we're diving into severe storms that battered our area over the weekend.

A heartwarming local hero story, your weather outlook, and community happenings.

Let's get started. Word on the streets of Dallas Fort Worth,

those powerful thunderstorms from Friday into Saturday caused widespread damage.

According to the National Weather Service, winds up to 80 miles per hour, toppled trees,

downed power lines, and left over 100,000 without electricity in Dallas and Tarant counties.

On-star reports confirmed multiple vehicle accidents on I-35 due to flash flooding with minor

injuries but no fatalities. Clean-up crews from Encore are working around the clock,

restoring power to most by tonight. City officials urge caution on debris strewn roads,

drive safe out there. Shifting to something uplifting,

meet Fort Worth's own Maria Gonzalez, a 68-year-old grandmother from the Stockyards,

who just celebrated her 50th year volunteering at the Countdown Coliseum.

Local ABC affiliate, WFAAA, spotlighted her this weekend.

Noting how she's taught over 5,000 kids' rodeo skills, preserving our

Western heritage amid modern rodeo revivals, like those of Billy Bob's. Maria says,

it's about passing the rope to the next generation. Inspiring stuff that reminds us of our roots,

weather-wise, expect partly cloudy skies today with highs in the mid-70s and a slight chance

of evening showers per Fox 4 forecasts. Bundle up lightly for cooler nights. Looking ahead,

don't miss the Fort Worth Stock Show and rodeo wrapping up this week. Final performances through

Thursday, and the Dallas-Arvadeem Spring Bloom Festival kicks off Saturday, free entry for locals.

As we recover from these storms, it's a reminder of our community's resilience,

much like the grit in a Springsteen ballad, facing Texas twisters. Stay connected, stay safe.
