Texas ‘Bomb Cyclone’ Tosses 18-Wheeler Along Highway

Unbelievable! Look at the way this giant 18-wheeler is kicked around like a toy truck due to high winds in Amarillo, Texas. CBSDFW.com share the footage of wind damage in North Texas online this morning.

Damage to homes in the Northern part of the state is being blamed on what is called a "bomb cyclone" moving through the area. We've seen TXDOT towers blown over by the wind in Abilene, and small planes flipped over at Grand Prarie's municipal airport.

The wind gusts that are blowing the 18-wheeler all over the road in Amarillo blew at speeds of 75-miles-per-hour.
