The storms have created power outages across multiple states, including many counties in east Texas and some northwestern parishes in Louisiana.
The storm is expected to keep moving east and pummel more regions along the Mississippi and Ohio valleys with more rain and threats of tornadoes.
There have been reports of people trapped inside their mobile home, according to meteorologist Craig Ceecee.
Another tornado reportedly touched down around Hosston, Louisiana.
This video shows a touch down near Humboldt, Iowa on Tuesday evening.
KXXV meteorologist Matt Hines wrote that 12 people have been hospitalized from Tuesday night’s storm.
Severe storms in the spring are nothing new across Central Texas, and Tuesday’s tornadoes and hail brigade.
The Killeen Daily Herald reported that a tornado brought strong winds and damaging hail into the area Tuesday evening. Some of the hail was “grapefruit size” according to the local newspaper.
The strength of the tornado was still to be determined, according to Madison Gordon of the National Weather Service, but it still had “significant strength” as it swept through the nearby town of Salado, a neighboring community along the Interstate-35 corridor.
Tonight’s tornado was in northern Williamson County, which is eerily close to Jarrell just days after the quarter-century mark.
