Injures And Power Outages Due To Storm

DALLAS (AP) — A North Texas teacher has been hurt by lightning during storms blamed for power outages that forced dozens of schools to cancel classes.  

Officials say the Denison Independent School District teacher remained hospitalized Friday but should recover after the strike as she held an umbrella.

Superintendent Henry Scott wasn't sure whether the fourth-grade teacher was struck or if the bolt hit nearby Thursday as she helped a student reach a parent's vehicle. The child wasn't hurt.

Oncor (ON'-kor) reported nearly 182,000 customers without power Friday mainly in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

The Arlington Independent School District canceled classes Friday at all 75 campuses. Dallas ISD called off classes at 48 schools that lost electricity.

Two Arlington Baptist College students were slightly hurt when storms ripped the roof off a dormitory.
