Texas weather: Storm damage in Manor
MANOR, Texas - Storms hit Manor and left behind damage to buildings and more. From downed street signs to broken tree limbs, and an overturned storage container and food truck, straight-line winds going about 60 mph had no mercy for what stood in its path.
The Manor Police Department posted photos on its Facebook page of the damage saying "straight-line winds caused damage along 290 as the storm passed through."
A food truck was overturned. Police say it was unoccupied.
A billboard crashed into an Exxon off 290 in Manor.
"I was just coming here to get some Gatorade before my tee time, and I parked and started to walk inside, and I was like, 'Is this place closed,' and he was like, 'Yeah, from the damage,' and I turned around, and I'm like 'oh my goodness’ the whole billboard fell down," said Kevin Hillow, who was golfing in Manor Sunday morning.
A TxDOT sign came down.
Trees were also damaged as well.
Down the road, aerials given to FOX 7 by Chris Nelle with Aerial Options Photography show a construction site with twisted steel and scattered chunks of roof on the ground.
Austin Energy reported downed lines and trees across its service area, causing power outages for at least 1400 customers on Sunday.
And if it wasn't the wind, it was lightning.
The damage is a good reminder to take shelter during a severe thunderstorm warning, even if there are no reports of a tornado.
Manor PD says that there is no confirmed reports of any tornado rotation in the area.
