VIDEO: Two possible tornadoes reported in northern Williamson County
Viewers are sending in footage of the tornado from the Jarrell and Florence areas.
JARRELL, Texas — At least one tornado touched down in northern Williamson County Tuesday evening. Viewers in the Florence and Jarrell areas reported seeing the funnel cloud.
Radar indicates the tornado moved out of the KVUE viewing area before 6 p.m.
There have been no reports of injuries caused by the tornado so far, however, some homes have reported minor damage.
Williamson County officials later reported that two separate tornadoes were possible. One was north of Florence, spotted at 5:25 p.m. and the other north of Jarrell spotted at 5:36 p.m.
The sheriff’s office closed northbound and southbound traffic on Interstate 35 at mile marker 278 as the tornado appeared to be about to cross the highway.
“Williamson County is still under a tornado watch until 11 p.m. tonight, so we encourage our residents to stay tuned to local weather forecasts and know where to go if the tornado watch turns into a warning,” said Williamson County Judge Bill Gravell.
