Just before dawn on Saturday, a strong tornado tore through a town close to Texas' southernmost point, damaging dozens of homes and bringing down power lines, according to authorities. One person was killed and a curfew was put in place.
“Based upon what we’ve been seeing over the last week or two, we’re expecting anywhere from 3,000 to 8,000 (a day) potentially,” Judge Eddie Treviño said.
The storm struck the unincorporated community of Laguna Heights near South Padre Island at about 4 a.m. Saturday as most people were in their homes asleep.
