Houston area flooding, Texas tornadoes force evacuations and damage homes

Powerful storms wreaked havoc in Texas on Thursday, causing flooding, hailstorms, and at least one damaging tornado.

These storms are part of a series of severe weather events that have pounded the state since early April, including numerous tornadoes and heavy rainfall.

Some areas received nearly two months’ worth of rain in a single day, leading to evacuations and water rescues, especially in communities north of Houston.

Mandatory evacuations were ordered in Harris County, where the East Fork of the San Jacinto River reached major flood stage.

Disaster declarations cover over a third of Texas counties, with additional counties possibly being added due to ongoing storms.

Eastern Texas has seen unusually heavy rainfall over the past few weeks, saturating the soil and increasing the risk of flooding, CNN reported.
