A confirmed tornado was spotted near Pattonville, about 7 miles southeast of Paris, Texas, prompting an urgent warning from the National Weather Service. The tornado was reported at 8:14 PM CDT and is moving southeast at around 30 mph.
Officials warn that the storm poses serious threats, including a damaging tornado and hail as large as tennis balls. Weather spotters have confirmed the tornado on the ground, raising concerns about immediate danger to life and property.
The tornado is expected to impact areas including Pattonville, as well as nearby communities such as Milton, Deport, and Clardy. Residents in these areas are being urged to act quickly and seek shelter without delay.
Authorities emphasize that flying debris could be extremely dangerous, especially for those caught outside or in vehicles. Mobile homes are particularly at risk of being damaged or destroyed, while homes and buildings could see damage to roofs, windows, and vehicles. Tree damage is also likely.
Emergency officials are stressing that heavy rainfall may make the tornado difficult to see, increasing the risk for those who wait too long to take action. People are advised to move to a sturdy structure immediately, ideally to an interior room on the lowest floor, and stay away from windows.
The warning remains in effect as the situation continues to develop, with residents urged to stay alert and follow safety instructions.
