BREAKING: An EF-1 tornado touched down late last night, October 27, 2023, in Kendall and Comal Counties, Texas, tracking over 20 miles with peak winds reaching 110 mph. While no injuries have been reported, the storm caused significant damage, including downed trees and power poles, particularly near U.S. 281 and F.M. 306.
The tornado left a trail of destruction, with roofs damaged and various structures affected before it weakened near Fischer. Emergency crews are currently assessing the aftermath. Parts of East Commerce Street have been temporarily closed due to weakened construction scaffolding in the area.

Local authorities confirmed that while the tornado’s impact was significant, the lack of injuries stands as a relief for the community. Cleanup operations are underway, and officials expect to provide further updates as damage assessments continue.
