Update at 12:30pm:
The National Weather Service says the damage caused near Eagle Mountain Lake was most likely just from thunderstorm winds and not a tornado. Meanwhile, meteorologists have confirmed a low-end EF-1 tornado in the Justin area with 86-90 MPH winds. It is believed the path of that tornado was about a mile long and the only damage was to trees in the area.
UPDATE 7:09AM: More images of damage from strong storms including a possible EF-1 tornado that ripped through Denton Tuesday evening:

Some sun-up photos of the Denton neighborhood where a tornado hit last night. Seeing a couple of more snapped trees than before. Spoke to one woman cleaning up: “the winds were whistling. I’ve never heard that.” @WBAP247NEWS @570KLIF pic.twitter.com/lMXL9OuXJ6

Denton (WBAP/KLIF) – Denton residents are cleaning up this morning after a tornado moved through a neighborhood northeast of the Texas Woman’s University campus.
Several trees were downed off Linwood Road, about half a mile from campus…one was snapped in half.
Many neighboring roads are covered in branches and leaves from tree damage, but it appears there isn’t much, if any, structural damage.
Nobody was reported injured in the tornado — it was Denton’s first in more than two years.
More storms are expected later today.
A look at some of the storm damage in Denton (near TWU campus), where several trees on Linwood Dr. have been knocked down after a reported tornado last night. Can’t see much structural damage, but sunrise will tell more of the story. @WBAP247NEWS @570KLIF pic.twitter.com/s8HKQ8HUOF

A tree narrowly missed a man’s house, but smashed his yellow Mustang.
