The child’s mother was later found dead one street over from her home, he said.The child’s father reported them missing from their home, which the sheriff said was demolished in the storm.
Earlier Tuesday, five tornadoes were confirmed across north Texas based on video and eyewitness reports, but potentially a dozen may have occurred, the National Weather Service in Fort Worth, Texas, reported. “There’s essentially no one traveling right now,” said Justin McCallum, a manager at the Flying J truck stop at Ogallala, Nebraska.
