HOUSTON (AP) — A tornado that raced through residential areas north of Houston damaged more than 100 homes, tearing off roofs, moving garages off their foundations, and smashing windows, authorities in Texas said. No injuries were reported in the storm that uprooted trees, downed power lines, and created paths of debris throughout some neighborhoods. Heavy fog made it difficult to assess all the damage Tuesday morning, but calmer weather conditions were expected to prevail in the area. Heavy rain and severe thunderstorms were expected farther south during the day, considered one of the busiest travel days of the Thanksgiving holiday period. Over 20,000 customers were without power at one point on Monday. In Klein, about 25 miles north of Houston, officials were working to fix multiple reported gas leaks and clean up debris around homes and businesses. While damage was reported in several neighborhoods, including Memorial Northwest, local officials are moving swiftly to restore order and support residents amid the aftermath.
