Possible Tornado Blasts Through Southeast Texas, Causing Major Damage

Residents in Austin County are still dealing with the aftermath of severe storms that caused major damage to homes and and businesses on Tuesday afternoon. I-10 at Rexville Road was still shut down until early this morning after the storm downed power lines and overturned an 18-wheeler on the highway, just west of Highway 36. Traffic was backed up for miles behind the closure on both eastbound and westbound lanes as police refused to allow drivers to go backwards to exit the highway. "The car started shaking from the wind," said Yolanda Rico, who was stranded on I-10 for eight hours.
