( CNN ) -- Nearly 1,100 homes were hit by the tornadoes that struck the Dallas-Fort Worth area Tuesday , including 349 homes that were destroyed , a Red Cross spokeswoman said Thursday . Anita Foster of the Red Cross said updated tallies show another 750 homes were damaged . Many families are still in shelters , unable to return to their homes , Foster said . `` We 're dealing with a lot of emotional recovery , which will be just as challenging as the physical recovery , '' she said . With the potential for more severe storms Sunday , she said , the agency is focusing on preparation and advising people what to have in their disaster supply kits . `` We want people to think those things through while the sky is blue , '' she said . `` Things like a working flashlight , a first aid kit , a supply of water , and how to look after pets . We wanted to push those messages with more weather coming in , even if we just get one lightning bolt , that will be frightening for people who just went through this . '' Argentina storm kills more than a dozen . An estimated 13 tornadoes touched down in Dallas , Arlington and the surrounding area Tuesday , the National Weather Service in Dallas-Fort Worth said Thursday . There have been no reports of deaths from the storms . At least one of the twisters rated up to EF-3 , the weather service said . That tornado , in the town of Forney , east of Dallas , had a wind speed as high as 150 mph , it said . Tornadoes can rate up to an EF-5 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale , which uses damage to calculate the storm 's rating . Other tornadoes that touched down in the area Tuesday rated EF-1 and EF-2 , according to the weather service . Belinda Price , who with her husband runs a day care at her home in Forney , protected 15 children in the closet of her home as the tornado approached . Her husband filmed the tan-colored funnel cloud as it approached their neighborhood . `` My first thought was , I have to keep these children safe , '' Price told HLN on Thursday . `` I gave them instructions : When I tell you to run , you run , and you run where I tell you to run . '' Some of the children cried , but for the most part , she said , they kept cool . Price knelt in the closet covering a 4-month-old and said there was barely room for herself . `` There is no doubt in my mind that God covered us , '' she told CNN affiliate KTVT . CNN 's Nick Valencia contributed to this report .
