The top stories this afternoon from KERA News: Presidential candidates have crisscrossed the state and local candidates have debated across Dallas-Fort Worth. Now, on Primary Day in Texas, it’s the voters’ turn to have their say.

Nine weeks after those Christmas weekend tornados, the death toll has risen to 13. The shelters have closed, most of the news cameras have moved on. Recovery, though, is just starting.

Over the next few weeks, our series One Crisis Away: Rebuilding A Life will follow four families, who lived along the path of a single tornado that raged from Garland to Rowlett. For those struggling to make ends meet, the months after disaster can be long and lonely.

You can hear North Texas stories weekdays at 8:20 a.m. and 6:20 p.m. on KERA 90.1 FM.
