HOUSTON – Just a couple of days after tornadoes created dramatic scenes around the greater Houston area, twisters have caused damage Saturday in several places on the outskirts of the nation’s fourth-largest city.
The National Weather Service filed at least six tornado reports around the Houston area.
The first report came out of Katy, where video showed debris being thrown into the air as the twister moved through the western Houston suburb.

According to the NWS storm reports, damage was reported at a mobile home park and several cars had been flipped.
More damage was reported about an hour later in the towns of Porter Heights and Splendora, to the north of Houston.

Another report from the NWS showed significant damage near the town of Alvin, to the south of Houston. Multiple homes were destroyed, and substation debris was seen on State Highway 35.
This is the second time this week that the Houston area has been rocked by tornadoes. On Thursday, several twisters caused havoc, including one that was caught on video near El Campo, to the southwest of Houston.
