TEXAS, USA — Tornadoes, hail and strong winds followed a front that inched its way across parts of Texas Monday.

There were multiple tornadoes spotted across North and Central Texas in areas like Jacksboro, Luling and Round Rock.

Below are photos and videos of some of the storm damage across Texas. 

Southeast Texas

Crockett — about two hours north of Houston — was battered by an EF-2 tornado late Monday, a National Weather Service team confirmed Tuesday.

Drone 11 video showed extensive damage across the Houston County community. There are also reports of injuries, but we don’t know the extent yet. 

We have a crew there and will have live updates on KHOU 11 News at 4, 5 and 6.

A 73-year-old woman who lived in the community of Sherwood Shores died in the storm, but officials have not provided any details.

Jacksboro, Texas, which is about 60 miles northwest of Fort Worth, was also hit hard by a tornado Monday night. 

It ripped through a high school with kids inside. Fortunately, everyone was reportedly safe.

Homes were destroyed in the town of Bowie where damage is widespread. 

Four people suffered minor injuries, said Emergency Manager Kelly McNabb.

Bowie is in Montague County, northwest of Fort Worth.

The Austin area got its fair share of severe weather.

KVUE even spotted a tornado on its Kalahari Resort camera in Round Rock during a live stream of weather coverage.

South Texas

Hail came down in San Antonio. Residents in that area snapped photos of pea and golf ball-sized hail that fell Monday afternoon. 

Once the severe weather began to move through the immediate Houston area, street flooding began to pop up all over town, even catching several motorists stranded on camera.

As our crews approached Columbus, they were greeted with a spectacular lightning show.

Conditions deteriorated quickly in west Houston as hail began to fall. Matt Dougherty got this video from the I-10 and Voss area just after 6 a.m.

Immediately after, our cameras caught a school bus navigating high waters on the northwest side of town near 43rd Street.

Some drivers weren’t as lucky with the rising waters, as vehicles were seen stalling out on Oak Forest Drive.
