The threat of severe weather isn't over yet. Another line of strong storms could develop into Wednesday night. The Tornado Watch remains in effect until midnight. Although the storms will not reach everyone in North Texas, the ones that form could be rough.
While the storms overnight Tuesday into Wednesday morning were not severe, they did come with a lot of lightning and cause some damage.

Other photos shared with FOX 4 shows quite a lightning show as the storms moved into Grand Prairie near Highway 161 just north of Interstate 30.
