HUMBLE, Texas — Multiple buildings were destroyed and several trees have fallen in the Humble area after radars confirmed a tornado touched down overnight.
Humble Police Chief Ken Theis said a tornado hit downtown Humble at about 1:30 a.m. and moved northward causing significant damage to multiple businesses and residents.
Theis said the weather was so severe that a roof flew off a commercial building on N Houston Ave and was found about a quarter of a mile away.
Fortunately, no injuries have been reported.
Several trees and power lines are also down in the area.
