A suspected tornado touched down in south-central Texas on Monday, the National Weather Service said, as a slow-moving line of storms brought high winds, heavy rains and large hail as it swept eastward.
The Medina County, Texas, Sheriff's Office "received over 300 calls indicating there is damage or injuries" due to the storm, said a woman from the sheriff's office who identified herself only as Heather.
This came after one twister landed around 8 p.m. Monday near Natalia, a town of about 1,400 residents that is in the county.
"It struck us pretty hard," she said from the county, which is about 30 miles west of San Antonio. "At this point, we have unknown (amount) of injuries, but we have a lot of damage."

(135,060 posts)Both of mine take the bus (son takes a different one since he's special needs). If we hadn't sold our old house my daughter would be a walker and son would still get a bus. But I'd be in the bus line because I couldn't walk her without him and he can be stubborn and just sit down.

so far they're just sitting on the runway. Fine by me .. I know he's probably annoyed but I'd rather they wait until it's clear.
