A Friday night storm left its mark across parts of the San Antonio area, with large hail<\/a> and strong winds damaging cars, homes and fences.<\/p>\n

Storms swept through the area late Friday, September 11, bringing heavy rain, lightning and hail to communities on San Antonio\u2019s East Side and beyond. The National Weather Service Austin-San Antonio office received reports <\/a>of dime- to golf ball-sized hail in the Paloma subdivision, about 4 miles south-southeast of Converse, between 10:05 and 10:15 p.m.<\/p>\n

By Saturday morning, the damage was hard to miss. Photos shared with MySA showed dented vehicles, shattered windows and damage to homes across the area.<\/p>\n

Near FM 78 and Walzem Road, Alison Emmert-Limon said strong winds tore part of the roof off her home, leaving what she called an \u201cunwanted skylight\u201d in her son\u2019s bedroom.<\/p>\n

Marissa Kanak shared a photo of her Jeep with its rear window shattered, saying about an inch of rain also made its way inside.<\/p>\n

Also near FM 78 and Walzem, Lizz Allmon said hail came in sideways and \u201csounded like a tornado\u201d as it battered the siding of a home.<\/p>\n

The hail came after forecasters warned of isolated showers and storms across South-Central Texas on Friday. In a forecast discussion<\/a>, NWS said rain chances could linger into the evening, particularly for areas east of I-35.<\/p>\n

Friday\u2019s storm also comes as the National Weather Service warns South-Central Texas could see a more active severe weather pattern this fall. NWS meteorologist Mack Morris\u00a0previously told MySA <\/a>that strong El Ni\u00f1o years tend to bring more hail and wind reports than La Ni\u00f1a years<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Friday night storm left its mark across parts of the San Antonio area, with large hail and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":434138,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[820,3091,82,84,83],"class_list":["post-434137","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-mysastaff","tag-mysawx","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/434137","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=434137"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/434137\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/434138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=434137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=434137"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=434137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
