Lancaster , Texas ( CNN ) -- About 200 homes were destroyed and 650 were damaged by violent tornadoes in northern Texas , an American Red Cross spokeswoman said Wednesday , a day after the storms tore through one of the nation 's largest metropolitan areas . Spokeswoman Anita Foster said Wednesday that their teams are still in the field assessing the damage and that she expects final tallies late Wednesday or early Thursday . Between six and 13 tornadoes may have touched down in Dallas , Arlington and the surrounding area Tuesday , the National Weather Service in Dallas-Fort Worth said . The number is an estimate because crews are still surveying damage across the area . There are no reports of deaths so far , the mayors of Dallas and Arlington said . Preliminary ratings of damage to one subdivision near Forney , just east of Dallas , suggests the tornado there rated up to EF-3 , the National Weather Service forecast office in Fort Worth said . Wind speed was estimated to have been as high as 150 miles per hour in the town , 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 . Three people were taken to a hospital in Arlington and at least 150 homes were destroyed there , Mayor Robert Cluck said . `` We 've dodged a bullet , '' he said . `` We 've done the primary search . We feel as though we have everybody now , but they wo n't give up until they have done all the other searches . '' Dallas mayor : It 's a 'miracle ' `` It was like 'The Wizard of Oz , ' `` said Gwen Dabbs , who was not able to make it to an interior room before the storm blew her windows out . She huddled in a corner of her living room covered with blankets as the tornado passed . `` My body is sore from being in the corner . But I do n't have not a cut , not a scratch , and I 'm so thankful . Thank you , Lord , '' she said . Massive hail pounded the area before the tornadoes touched down . `` Once the hail stopped , our electricity went out . I thought , 'That 's it , we need to get into the bathtub , ' '' said Nicole Lawrence said . `` It 's only by God 's grace that I 'm here . '' Lawrence said her home was reduced to rubble . She took shelter in a bathroom with her two sons , who covered their mother with their bodies to avoid debris . By the time the tornado had swept through , all that was left of her house was her son 's tuxedo hanging in what used to be a closet . He was planning to wear it to the prom . Hail damaged more than 100 aircraft at Dallas/Forth Worth International Airport , spokesman David Magana said . About 250 departures and 250 arrivals were canceled Wednesday after the storm , he said . In all , about 1,400 passengers spent the night in the terminals . The airport passed out cots , blankets and pillows to those sleeping there , Magana said . Thousands of others went to local hotels , he said . Airport officials Wednesday were asking travelers to check with their airlines before arriving at the airport . Eric Gould was aboard his flight and ready for takeoff Tuesday when the pilot announced a delay . Suddenly , the skies opened up , unleashing rain and hail as big as golf balls . `` The noise of ice cubes hitting the aluminum exterior of a 757 was as deafening as it was frightening , '' he said . `` Imagine the sound of dropping a bucket of ice cubes onto a metal-roof shed for about 10 minutes straight . '' In Lancaster , south of Dallas , roofs were stripped to bare plywood . About 300 buildings were damaged , according to the city 's mayor . A citywide curfew was in place . CNN affiliate WFAA broadcast video of tractor-trailers lifted and flipped like matchsticks . Ominous clouds darkened the skies . In one picture at a freight truck depot on the south side of Dallas , a twister flung semitrailers high into the air and hundreds of feet from their parking spots . Lot owner Wisconsin-based Schneider National Trucking Co. said there were no injuries at the facility , but about 100 pieces of equipment were damaged . `` The storm 's impact to freight , our customers and our operations overall appear to be minimal -- a remarkable outcome in light of the force of the storm , '' the company said in a statement . A tractor weighs 20,000 pounds . An empty trailer weighs 14,000 pounds , while a full one weighs about 46,000 , a Schneider spokesman said . CNN 's Henry Hanks , Ed Lavandera , Matt Smith , Dana Ford , Chad Myers , Joe Sutton and Brian Todd contributed to this report .
