SAN ANTONIO – Major hail damage is being assessed in Leakey and other areas west of San Antonio, while Kinney County is investigating a possible tornado.
After a turbulent night across the region, calmer and sunnier weather is set to take over later Wednesday. Strong storms capable of producing damaging wind gusts, hail, and localized flooding moved through the area overnight and into the early morning hours.
Some of the strongest activity occurred west of San Antonio before pushing east.
Hail in Leakey caused devastating damage, forcing at least one business to close on Wednesday while damage is being assessed.
