San Antonio Shocked by Overnight TornadoSan Antonio Shocked by Overnight Tornado San Antonio, Texas—Residents of San Antonio awoke to a shocking sight on Thursday morning: the aftermath of an overnight tornado that tore through the city, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. According to the National Weather Service, the tornado touched down around 1:30 AM on the city’s northeast side. With winds estimated at over 100 miles per hour, the tornado ripped through neighborhoods, toppling trees, damaging homes, and cutting power to thousands of residents. One of the hardest-hit areas was the Camelot neighborhood, where multiple homes were completely destroyed. Emergency crews worked tirelessly throughout the night and into the morning, searching for trapped victims and providing aid to the affected residents. “It’s a miracle that nobody was killed,” said Mayor Ron Nirenberg during a press conference. “Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who has been impacted by this storm.” The tornado also caused significant damage to infrastructure. Roads were blocked by fallen power lines and debris, and some areas remained without electricity for several hours. Crews from CPS Energy were working around the clock to restore power as quickly as possible. “This is a major disaster for San Antonio,” said Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff. “We will be working closely with the city and state to ensure that our residents receive the support they need.” The Red Cross has set up shelters for those who have been displaced from their homes. The city has also established a hotline for residents to report damage and request assistance. As the sun rises on San Antonio, the full extent of the tornado’s damage is becoming clear. The city will be working to rebuild and recover in the coming days and weeks. In the meantime, support and assistance are pouring in from all corners of the community.
