After a tornado was confirmed<\/a> to have touched down on San Antonio’s Northwest Side, TxDOT cameras show debris scattered across a major highway in the area. Meanwhile, locals are reporting damage to a nearby shopping center. Here’s what we know.<\/p>\n

TxDOT <\/a>cameras show debris along I-10 west near La\u00a0Cantera Parkway on the morning of Wednesday, July 15. A tornado warning had been issued shortly before 8 a.m. and the Austin\/San Antonio NWS office confirmed to MySA that a tornado did touch down in that area near the Dominion, moving north towards Leon Springs and weakening as it approached Fair Oaks Ranch. The tornado warning has since expired, and a NWS meteorologist told MySA that the circulation had dissipated.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to SigAlert<\/a>, an accident on I-10 West at La\u00a0Cantera Parkway reported after 8 a.m.\u00a0caused stop-and-go traffic backed up to Medical Drive. TxDOT lists the collision as major and shows the left two lanes closed down as of 9:03 a.m.. SigAlert noted “road debris scattered across all lanes” and another alert shows a disabled vehicle reportedly blocking the right lane of I-10 West near De Zavala Road.<\/p>\n

This is a developing story.
