Tropical Storm Lorena's remnants, a late-summer cold front, and an upper-level trough collectively contributed to significant thunderstorm activity across North Texas during the afternoon and evening of September 5th and into the morning of September 6th. Several of these storms generated damaging wind gusts and hail, while frequent cloud-to-ground lightning resulted in multiple residential fires.
