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’s 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 “unwanted skylight” in her son’s 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 “sounded like a tornado” 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’s 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 previously told MySA <\/a>that strong El Ni\u00f1o years tend to bring more hail and wind reports than La Ni\u00f1a years<\/p>\n
