Many Mid Valley residents are cleaning up after severe weather Friday night into Saturday Morning.
One North Donna Neighborhood was hit particularly hard.
Pedro Aldava says the roof was blown off his trailer home and hit a neighbor's house.
"Our roof actually went into his living room. It just crashed into his windows, so we saw that this morning," he says.
The National Weather Service in Brownsville says the storm packed some strong winds.
"It was not a tornado. There was no rotation. We've estimated the winds to be somewhere between 65 and 75 miles per hour," says Barry Goldsmith.
Barry Goldsmith works with the National Weather Service. He and several emergency management coordinators spend the entire night surveying the damage.
"The people that need the most help are in Hidalgo County, just north of Donna, right outside the Donna city limits," says Emergency Management Director George Garrett.
No shelters have been opened by the county, but they have called in the American Red Cross to help.
