Severe Weather Brings Tornadoes, Hail to Texas

Severe weather hit parts of Texas Sunday night and Monday morning, producing baseball-sized hail, damaging wind gusts and reported tornadoes. 
One tornado was confirmed Sunday afternoon in the area of rural Comanche and Erath counties in Texas. No injuries were reported in the immediate aftermath of the tornado. 
Tornadoes have also been spotted southeast of Stephenville, and in Glen Rose and Cleburne State Park on Sunday evening, according to WFAA.com. Overnight, a large tornado left damage in the Rio Vista area.
Baseball-sized hail was reported near Stephenville, about 70 miles southwest of Fort Worth, and motorists were reporting damage to vehicles, according to the Associated Press. National Weather Service meteorologists also received reports of shingles being blown from rooftops, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Stephenville police say shelters have opened at the city library and other locations. Many of the storms moved slowly, and the torrential rains led to serious flooding in several areas, including Rio Vista.
