Video captured outside the warehouse, located off Texas 114 near the north entrance of Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, showed sheets of metal and debris wrapped around cars parked outside the building.
A trailer in Johnson County and a horse stable in Princeton were among the structures when storms with wind gusts upwards of 70 mph blew through North Texas early Wednesday morning.
"I was sitting in my truck trying to record the heavy rain in the wind, when all of a sudden came a loud crashing noise of the roof hitting the ground," Marcus Hawthorne wrote in an email to iSee@nbcdfw.com.
"Severe weather caused structural damage to the air gateway in Dallas. The facility is currently closed, and everyone who was working there is safe," Amazon said in a statement to NBC 5.

NBC 5 Weather Expert Keisha Burns said 78 mph wind gusts were recorded at DFW Airport around the time of the incident.
In Mineral Wells, high winds caused damage along a stretch of U.S. 180.
"It doesn't take a tornado for it to be dangerous," Mineral Wells Building Official Tony Stubblefield said as he surveyed damage. "The downdraft came through and... damaged these buildings pretty severely."
"Just enough to tear it all to pieces," said Lynn Reasoner looking at a pile of wood that used to be part of his family auto repair business. "It's hard to build something up and see it torn down real quick."
Mineral Wells spent Wednesday cleaning up after storms left a path of destruction through town.
Reasoner, a volunteer firefighter with Mineral Wells, got a call from the fire department at 3:30 a.m. Wednesday.
"He said ,'You might want to come up. I think part of your building is all scattered across the road,'" Reasoner said. "Being always the first one to try to help other people, looking at something that's actually happened to you, you get a better understanding of what they go through sometimes."
