Huizen in Texas mogelijk geraakt door tornado
Texas homes hit by possible tornadoes
Several dozens homes across West and North Texas were hit overnight by possible tornadoes, part of a storm system that earlier pounded the state with baseball-sized hail and 70-mph winds that also knocked down power lines and trees. The National Weather Service was sending out survey crews to determine whether several of the damaging windstorms were tornadoes.
No injuries were immediately reported from the storms that covered an area from north of Abilene to the Dallas-Fort Worth area. It's a miracle we don't have serious injuries, a sheriff's official in Tarrant County told MSNBC.
In northern Jones County, Judge Dale Spurgin said a storm damaged roofs in Anson and one highway was closed by downed utility poles. Spurgin said there was minor flooding on some roads.
As the storm moved east, at least one tornado was reported in Erath County, about 60 miles southwest of Fort Worth. The same one appears to have touched down nearby in Palo Pinto County, said Nick Hampshire, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. Trees were knocked down and outbuildings were destroyed along the county line.
