Event narrative (NOAA)
Outflow from thunderstorms to the east produced wind gusts in excess of 45 MPH on the campus of The University of Texas-Dallas, in the city of Richardson. This outflow caused the collapse of a crane which was being dismantled at a construction project. Two workers, a 58 year old male, and a 50 year old male died in the crane collapse.
