The mayor of Round Rock, Texas said the funnel cloud that appeared on the south side of the city during Monday’s rush hour was actually a tornado.
“I don’t think there’s any doubt it was a tornado,” said Mayor Craig Morgan. “I’m sitting there watching the news and you see it coming right here at Kalahari and hitting the camera, they were spinning.”
Mayor Morgan said funnel clouds were spotted near the Kalahari Resorts around 5 pm, but he quickly lost track of it. “When that actually hit, we weren’t under a tornado warning we were under a tornado watch most of the day,” Morgan added. “I just think our citizens were prepared and we were just fortunate there was no loss of life. We can repair the property.”
This is one of the worst hit homes I’ve seen so far in Round Rock. The homeowner of 30 years says thankfully they were sheltered in the bathroom because bricks and debris tore through his daughter’s front bedroom. The roof completely gone.
