The potent storms turned deadly after a man was swept away in rising waters in Austin, Texas, Wednesday afternoon. At least 17 preliminary tornadoes were reported on Tuesday. Law enforcement confirmed that a tornado moved from Howardwick to Alanreed, Texas, which is east of Amarillo. A dangerous situation unfolded on Tuesday evening as a large tornado tracked from near Hobart to Rocky, Oklahoma. An additional four tornadoes were reported Wednesday. Meanwhile, heavy rain inundated the Houston area through Tuesday evening. Heavy rainfall across south-central Kansas on Tuesday night closed portions of Interstate 35 from south of Wichita to the Kansas/Oklahoma border. People were evacuated from their homes and schools were closed or delayed Wednesday after Kansas was hit with back-to-back thunderstorms. The powerful storms disrupted power lines in regions across Texas. During Tuesday evening, over 30,000 customers were without power throughout the state.
