A trailer from an RV park was whirled on to the roof of a Holiday Inn, buildings were shredded and more than a foot of rain drenched Austin as storms hammered Texas on Friday, killing at least two people.
The small town of Floresville, near San Antonio, was hit by a suspected tornado early in the morning. Local news footage showed damage to power lines, homes, businesses and a high school, though no one was hurt.
The body of a driver who went missing in floodwaters was found in a hard-hit area near the Austin airport, the Travis county emergency management office said. Military crews also found a body at Camp Bullis, a military training installation north of San Antonio, a defense department spokesman said. That person was believed to be a driver whose vehicle was swept off the road by flash floodwaters.
There were reports of other tornadoes in counties including D'Hanis, 50 miles west of San Antonio, were a bank and other buildings were wrecked. Several central Texas counties remained under a tornado watch on Friday afternoon.
