Hail ravages North Texas, shuts down highway US 287


Three to four feet of hail is being reported on U.S. 287 near the Canadian River, according to the Potter County Sheriff's Office.
That's prompting the highway to be shut down by the Texas Department of Public Safety.
The Potter County Sheriff's Office also confirmed there were reports of buried motor vehicles prompting rescues.
DPS said its units are reporting low visibilities in the area. The main part of the hail is being reported four miles north of the Canadian River near the Fain Plant.
Officials said it is not known how long the road will be closed because parts of it are washed out.
