“The whole time our doors are constantly shaking,” Alexis Jandew, Canton resident, said.
Canton, along with the rest of Van Zandt County, has faced downed trees, powerlines and other debris in the wake of early morning storms on Tuesday.
“We have had a couple of entrapments that we’ve had to help out with early in the morning,” Kim Clark, emergency services operator for the South Van Zandt Fire Department, said.
A family that lives right next to where a tree fell on CR 2301 said with the loud thunder and strong winds they never even heard it come down.
“As soon as it happened, all of the lights went out and it’s really shocking,” Jandrew said. “We really did not hear a thing.”

ChatGPT, OpenAI’s text-generating AI chatbot, has taken the world by storm since its launch in November 2022.

While startup valuations have plummeted since the bull run of 2021-2022, a factor that's hit the European startup ecosystem particularly hard, there’s one region of Europe where the correction has slightly worked in its favor: the South. Evidence for this was apparent during Mobile World Congress in Barcelona earlier this year, as time and time again your TechCrunch reporter bumped into Northern European VCs scouting startups on the ‘Iberian peninsula’ (Spain and Portugal). Further evidence of this ‘Southern trend’ arrives with news that a new Venture Capital fund, Plus Partners, is being launched by Enrique Linares, one of the co-founders of breakout European unicorn letgo, along with Oriol Juncosa, a veteran of the Barcelona VC scene.
