SAN ANTONIO – We’ve lived here for 25 years, and never have seen anything at this level,” says Pamela Kinney. Kinney lives in Alamo Heights and was at her home Friday night as the destructive severe storm tore through Bexar County.
“Well, it was pretty scary. At first we thought it was going to miss us. And then come about 9:30 or so, the wind was unbelievable,” says Kinney. She lost multiple large trees, one landing on her guest house, causing damage to the ceiling inside. She says the cleanup process will be long, but the community is coming together.

“Everybody is out with neighbors and friends helping clean up because it’s a mess. And nobody has any electricity,” says Kinney. Thousands remain without electricity across the city, as temperatures once again hover near 100 degrees. Amy Hayes has power at her Monte Vista home, but her daughter in Northwood does not.
“It looks like the apocalypse. I mean, it’s just like it’s weird. I don’t feel like there was a tornado. It’s just the high, high winds and how like some yards are fine and then others, I mean this may be the worst I’ve seen,” says Hayes. Damage was seen across a swath from the Northeast side to the southwest side as winds exceeded 60mph.

“I was frightened, I was really scared,” says Hayes.
