A powerful storm system swept through Texas and other southern states, spawning tornadoes that caused severe damage and injuries. In Mineral Wells, Texas, a twister leveled parts of the small city, with officials reporting at least two injuries. The storms affected an estimated 26 million Americans across the region, with the worst damage concentrated in northern Texas.
Emergency crews are responding to hard-hit areas, clearing debris and assessing the full extent of the damage. Residents in Springtown and other communities are recovering after homes were destroyed and trees and power lines toppled. The storms are part of a larger weather pattern that has brought dangerous conditions to multiple states.
NBC's Candace Sweat reported from the scene, and TODAY meteorologist Angie Lassman tracked the storm's path. The system continues to pose a threat as it moves eastward, with forecasts warning of additional severe weather in the coming days.
