At least two people were killed and six more injured as several tornadoes touched down in Texas and Mississippi on Saturday, damaging homes and flipping vehicles. The National Weather Service's severe storm tracker indicated the system was moving east through Alabama into Georgia shortly before 4 a.m., prompting severe thunderstorm warnings in both states.
One person died in the Liverpool area south of Houston, with four others suffering injuries considered non-critical, according to Madison Polston of the Brazoria County Sheriff's Office. Officials reported numerous damaged homes and were assessing the total damage across impacted areas.
In Mississippi, the National Weather Service confirmed a death in Adams County and injuries in Franklin County, with tornadoes impacting the areas around Bude and Brandon, ripping roofs off several buildings. Meteorologist Josh Lichter stated these storms were expected to intensify as they progressed east.
Lichter noted that the Houston area experienced at least six reported tornado touchdowns, with teams deployed to assess damage inclusively. Damage reports also included overturned mobile homes and significant structural damage at local fire stations.
