Texas Tornado Tally: 8 Twisters, Homes Leveled, Plant Destroyed, Train Derailed

Eight confirmed tornados hit Texas, the National Weather service confirmed Wednesday, as a severe storm system moved through the state this week.

The most severe from Monday were two EF3 tornados that touched down near Pampa, Texas, according to the Weather Channel.

The Halliburton plant in Pampa was “leveled” by one of the tornadoes, KVII reported, but no one was injured when it was struck. A subsequent gas leak caused two sheriff’s deputies to fall ill, according to KMAR.

Two residences in Pampa were “completely lost,” Gray County Chief Deputy Steven White told the Weather Channel.

Four cars from a BNSF train were derailed near Miami, Texas, from storm winds, ABC7 reported.
