"The same weather system that struck Southern California last Friday caused severe storms to develop in Texas and southern Oklahoma late Sunday," said weather.com meteorologist Chris Dolce .

Near Olmos, Lucy Duncan took shelter under a mattress with her husband and three children as the storm closed in on their home. She told KENS-TV that the roof of their home was torn off, but the family escaped unharmed.

"I couldn’t even describe it because I’ve never experienced it before ," Duncan told KENS. "I knew immediately something was wrong."

At the height of the outages, CPS Energy reported nearly 40,000 customers without power due to the storms.

The National Weather Service gave the San Antonio tornado damage near Ridgeview and Alamo Heights an EF2 rating with maximum winds of 120 mph. It was on the ground for about four and a half miles, according to the initial damage survey results. A separate EF0 tornado was confirmed east of Interstate 35 in the San Antonio area between Windcrest and Converse. A third tornado was confirmed on Putting Green Road and was rated EF1. A fourth tornado packing 85 mph winds in the Garden Ridge area was rated an EF0.

Storms also caused problems in southeastern Austin Monday morning, where thousands lost power and at least 20 homes were damaged , according to KEYE-TV.

"We were sitting on the couch and watching the tornado warning on the TV," Sammye Mason, who was in a friend's home when it got damaged, told KEYE. "The next thing we know, the lights go out and then, 'whoosh,' the door came flying open and we were knocked off the couch."

Two confirmed tornadoes hit Williamson County near Thrall. Both received preliminary ratings of EF2. In Hays County, an EF1 was confirmed, as well as an EF0 that tracked into Travis County.

An EF0 tornado overturned several RVs and damaged some sheds and outbuildings in southern Guadalupe County south of the town of Seguin.</s>CLOSE A severe storm system spawned a possible tornado that caused minor injuries and damaged more than 100 homes in the San Antonia area late Sunday night and early Monday.

Residents in San Antonio were picking up the pieces Monday after severe overnight storms ripped through south-central Texas, damaging more than 150 homes.

The National Weather Service confirmed Monday that at least four six tornadoes hit San Antonio. Five minor injuries were reported, the Associated Press said.

Homeowner Lucy Duncan said the family was watching TV as the storms were starting to pick up. "I couldn’t even describe it because I’ve never experienced it before,” Duncan told KENS-TV. “I knew immediately something was wrong.”

The storm ripped part of the roof from Duncan’s house. Duncan said the swing set and and outside structure in their backyard are both completely gone.

During the storm part of Duncan’s roof was ripped from the house. Duncan said the swing set and outside structure that was in their backyard are both completely gone.

“We were acting on instinct,” Duncan said. “The reality is setting in now like, ‘oh my goodness I can’t believe that happened,’ but in the moment we were just trying to survive.”

Thunderstorms and pounding rain continued to rattle eastern Texas Monday morning. Some of the storms could reach severe levels in eastern Texas and southern Louisiana later Monday, the Storm Prediction Center said.

The heavy rainfall will increase the threat for flash flooding, the National Weather Service said.</s>Severe weather in California and Texas has unleashed deadly flooding, powerful winds, and destructive tornadoes in the two states.

At least six tornadoes tore through central Texas on Monday, ripping roofs from homes and damaging nearly four dozen houses.

San Antonio was hit hardest, with about 150 buildings damaged, including at least three homes that completely collapsed.

While no deaths or major injuries were reported, there were plenty of close calls.

"It sounded like a sonic boom," said San Antonio resident Adrian Venegas. "And by the time I realized it was a tornado, our roof disappeared on us. It just completely vanished."

Thankfully Venegas' family of four was spared as they found shelter at a neighbor's home.

Teenager Alexis Stephen miraculously survived as well, after tornado debris suddenly blasted into her home without warning.

"All of a sudden my window just like shot in," she recalled. "Everything fell apart in a matter of like two or three seconds."

One tornado bent a high-voltage transmission tower completely in half in northeastern San Antonio. Power was knocked out for 47,000 customers, but that's mostly been restored.

Meanwhile, California has been bracing for more wind and rain Tuesday as forecasters issued flash flood warnings across the San Francisco Bay area and northern California.

Creeks and rivers are already swollen from heavy rains, and some areas were evacuated after a levee breach on the San Joaquin River.

However, there has also been some good news as water levels have fallen at the Oroville Dam, where a damaged spillway had prompted officials to evacuate 188,000 people.

Five people were killed by the powerful storms in California over the weekend, and about half of the state has been under flood, wind and snow advisories.</s>caused, global headlines because of that.
