A tornado damaged parts of northwestern San Antonio on Wednesday as rounds of severe storms and flooding continued to pound Texas, prompting a disaster declaration for dozens of counties.
The San Antonio Fire Department said crews were on scene at 6023 UTSA Boulevard and were assessing multiple properties at The Rim after a tornado touched down. No injuries had been reported, according to the city.
The tornado came as San Antonio and surrounding communities were under the threat of flash flooding. Northwestern Bexar County remained under a Flash Flood Warning on Wednesday, and officials urged drivers to use caution, avoid flooded roadways and continue monitoring local weather conditions.
