Storms ravage Texas with San Antonio the worst hit after three tornadoes touch down damaging over 150 homes and leaving 40,000 without power while high winds derail a train in Austin
- A powerful storm ripped through Texas beginning late Sunday, moving through San Antonio and Austin before making its way to Houston on Monday morning
- In San Antonio, a tornado warning was put in affect around 10pm for some areas of the city, and on Monday it was confirmed that there were three in the area late Sunday
- Over 40,000 are without power and at least 150 homes damaged in the wake of the storm, during which 0.43inches of rain fell in less than 30 minutes
- Wind gusts were recorded at 80mph overnight and managed to topple a train of its tracks in Austin, were there were few reports of major damage
- The storm is now in Houston, where the city’s two major airports announced ground stops on Monday, halting all incoming flights until mid-morning
- So far no major injuries or deaths have been reported as a result of the storm as crews now get to work dealing with flooding and downed live wires
Three Texas twisters are partially to blame for the devastating destruction that occurred overnight in San Antonio and Austin before hitting Houston on Monday morning.
Over 40,000 people were left without power and at least 150 homes have been damaged in San Antonio, where winds reaching 80mph blew in on Sunday night.
Those powerful gusts resulted in tornado warnings for the areas around the city and nearby Austin, where winds grew so strong that a train was pushed off its tracks.
And early Monday morning, ground stops were put into effect at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, halting the descent of incoming flights for the first few hours of the day.
Other areas in the state are now bracing for the storm as it heads east, bringing not only strong winds but also thunder and rain.
The rainfall was so heavy at times overnight in San Antonio that 0.43 inches fell in the span of just 30 minutes, just after 10pm on Sunday.
Despite these conditions, only a handful of minor injuries have been reported in the area San Antonio Fire Department public information officer Joe Arrington said early Monday.

The bulk of the devastation seems to have resulted from the strong winds, which ripped the roofs off homes and trees out of the ground while even managing to flatten some structures.
Power lines were also hit hard by the storm, resulting in the power outages which occurred across San Antonio.
A transmission tower was badly damaged overnight as well, with the winds dragging the top half of the structure to the ground as its power lines were ripped out and bending the tower in half…..More Here
