The storm system that sparked deadly tornadoes in Oklahoma moved through the Gulf Coast on Monday, with multiple locations in Texas under tornado warnings.
Houston, Texas and the surrounding region is seeing “significant and life-threatening impacts” from severe rain, according to the National Weather Service. Several school districts closed for the day due to the storm, local outlet KHOU reports.
The storms, still bringing strong winds and hail showers, will travel off the coast by Monday evening.
Over the weekend that storm system caused tornadoes to blow through Oklahoma, killing four people including one infant.
The four-month-old baby was found dead in Hughes County, Oklahoma, Emergency Management Director Mike Dockrey said in a statement to The Independent. Crews also identified a second death in Holdenville, as well as deaths in the towns of Marietta and Sulphur, according to the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management.
Meanwhile, hospitals statewide reported 100 injuries from the tornadoes that touched down on Saturday evening. Twenty of those injured were inside a Sulphur sports bar when the tornado hit, Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt said on Sunday.
Mr Stitt said the tornado damage in Sulphur is the worst he has seen since taking office, noting many downtown businesses were destroyed.
