Storm damage in Richardson

Last week’s tornado hit Preston Hollow and Lake Highlands, then turned toward northeast toward Richardson, where it devastated homes, businesses and schools. More than 100 RISD students and their families walked, dazed, out of their homes with nothing but the clothes on their backs and haven’t been able to return. They lost everything, including clothing, food, medication and school supplies.
