An American Airlines plane has been blown off its position on the tarmac at Dallas Fort Worth Airport, as storms battered the region.

The storms produced hail, rain and destructive winds, including gusts as high as 95mph (153km/h) in Dallas-Fort Worth and surrounding areas.

American Airlines said several of their aircraft were affected by high winds at the airport.

"Severe weather, including straight-line wind gusts up to 80mph, at our Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) hub affected several parked unoccupied aircraft. There were no injuries.

"Our maintenance team is currently conducting thorough inspections and will make any needed repairs." the airline said.

Power outages scattered across storm-weary Texas could linger into the weekend after storms flooded streets in Houston for the second time this month and ripped off roofs in Dallas, leaving a teenager dead and injuring others.

The teen was killed at a construction site while working on a home that collapsed, and three people at a campground were shocked by a downed power line. The severe weather left more than a million homes and businesses without electricity at one point.

Electric utility Oncor said power in the Dallas area should be restored by Friday for most customers, but some outages will continue into the weekend.

More than a million homes and businesses were without electricity across Texas at one point, but by Wednesday night, the lights had come back on for more than 75% per cent of those customers.

Houston was flooded and damaged just weeks after a storm walloped the area, killing eight people.

The 16-year-old worker was killed northeast of the city, in the suburb of Magnolia. He was a construction company employee, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office said.

A 6-year-old boy and two others who were shocked by the downed power line at a campground north of Houston were in critical condition, authorities said.

Witnesses saw a 59-year-old man touch the line, but investigators were trying to determine how the two others were shocked, Montgomery County Fire Marshal Jimmy Williams said Wednesday.

A couple driving during the storm in the Houston suburb of Spring missed a turn and then spotted a pickup truck submerged in a culvert.

Ashley Renee Young said her boyfriend, Robert Chance, grabbed a sledgehammer from his toolbox, broke the back window and pulled out the driver, who only suffered minor cuts from broken glass.

They then bought the man a shirt from a nearby gas station before driving him home.

“I think we have lifelong friends now,” Young said.

The National Weather Service said the “very active and highly impactful” weather pattern will continue in the central US over the next several days.

Destructive storms over the Memorial Day weekend killed 24 people in seven states across the South, the deaths stretching from Texas to Virginia.
