Tornadoes and Ice Slam Texas Amid Severe Weekend Weather
A violent weather outbreak struck Texas with at least two dozen tornadoes, sleet, rain and hurricane force winds. Tyler suffered the hardest damage at Pounds Field, with an airport hangar office and 17 aircraft damaged and up to 500000 dollars in losses. Power lines fell in Abilene as snow and sleet created hazardous driving, while other towns reported damage to homes, a lumberyard, and stores as cold fronts moved through from the West.
