HOUSTON (AP) — People in parts of the nation's midsection are continuing to experience some very bad weather.
Storms with high winds, hail and at least one report of a tornado swept through an area stretching from southern Texas to parts of Oklahoma, Kansas and central Nebraska today, and more are forecast later in the evening.
The National Weather Service says heavily populated areas with the highest risk of storms are San Antonio, Oklahoma City and Norman, Oklahoma.
Reports of hail, some of up to quarter-size, were widespread this afternoon along a line from central Nebraska through the plains of western Oklahoma and to the rolling plains of North Texas and Central Texas plateaus. One unconfirmed report of a tornado was received from the public in an unpopulated area of remote Edwards Plateau country, about 110 miles northwest of San Antonio. No damage or injuries were reported.
The storms developed a day after storms caused flooding in central and southeastern Texas.
In Houston, some creeks and bayous filled to their banks and drivers found water reaching nearly to car bumpers.
