Two children were killed and multiple others were injured on Saturday after powerful storms ripped through Texas, spawning at least one suspected tornado.
A three-year-old and an eight-year-old in Pollok were crushed after a tree fell on their vehicle, the Angelina County Sheriff’s Office said, according to AccuWeather.
Robertson County Texas Sheriff Gerald Yezak also told The Associated Press that a suspected tornado hit Franklin on Saturday, overturning mobile homes and damaging other residences. Franklin is a small city about 125 miles south of Dallas.
He says two people were taken to a hospital with injuries that aren’t thought to be life-threatening and that about a dozen others were treated at the scene for minor injuries, including people who had to be extricated from their homes.
Yezak says two of the people injured Saturday when a likely tornado touched down near the cities of Hearne and Franklin were taken to hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries.
National Weather Service meteorologist Monique Sellers says the agency received reports of downed trees, and damage to buildings and a transmission tower.
The storms are part of a large system moving through the southern US.
