DALLAS - Kayla McFall didn’t think much of the clouds rolling into Dallas as she relaxed in her grandparents’ pool. A native Texan, she’s used to storms blowing through and was still in the water when the sky darkened. The result was a downburst resulting in straight-line winds, including 71 mph (114 kph) gusts recorded at Dallas Love Field airport. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOWJen Myers, an Oncor spokeswoman and meteorologist, said the wind speeds Sunday were comparable to those seen in tropical storm or a weak tornado. City spokeswoman Anastasia Reed said that as of early Tuesday morning, about 300 traffic lights were inoperable across Dallas and another 80 were flashing red.
