At least one tornado touched down in Texas on Nov. 24, leaving behind a path of destruction with damage to over 100 homes and fallen trees, officials said.
The tornado went through parts of Harris County, which includes Houston, the afternoon of Nov. 24, the National Weather Service office serving Houston and Galveston said. Its intensity has not yet been rated, and survey teams will head to the site on Nov. 25, the weather service said. A second unconfirmed tornado on the same day is also being investigated after moving over parts of Austin and Waller counties.
The dozens of damaged homes are in the Memorial Northwest neighborhood, Constable of Harris County Precinct 4 Mark Herman said in a post to social media. On Nov. 24, first responders were searching the debris for any signs of injured or trapped residents, he said.
“Our priority is the safety of our residents,” Herman said. “We are using every resource available to locate the injured, secure the area, and support our community through this emergency.”
Authorities hadn't reported any injuries as of early Nov. 25.
