While there was no injuries to staff or visitors, the Dallas Zoo had to close Monday due to power issues causing damage in and around the property. However, zoo officials said all habitats were secure and the animals were all safe, according to KDFW, FOX 4.

Central Texas Fair Shut Down Early

Sunday night, two people were injured at the Central Texas State Fair by a sign that was blown over by strong winds, according to Bell County spokesperson James Stafford. Stafford said the entrance sign was held in place by multiple 55-gallon drums filled with water, but high winds caused it to collapse on two people.

Both people were taken to Baylor Scott & White Medical Center in Temple. Stafford said one was in critical condition as of Monday morning. Due to the storms, the remainder of the fair was canceled. Fans who purchased tickets to see musician Charley Crockett will get a refund, and officials said they would be providing information and updates on refunds over the coming week.
