HOUSTON — The Houston area has been battered by strong storms this week with at least nine confirmed tornadoes over three days.
On the day after Christmas, five tornadoes touched down from Wharton County to Liberty County. On Saturday, at least four tornadoes were reported:
- Waller County
- Montgomery County (Porter Heights) and then possibly into Liberty County
- Brazoria County (between Liverpool and Alvin) into Galveston County (damage reported in Bacliff)
- Chambers County
The strong winds caused significant damage to many structures in the Houston area, leaving homeowners and business owners to pick up the pieces and recover. At least one person died as a result of the storms.
