Texans and other southern US residents were bracing this weekend for severe storms and weather – including Panhandle town Perryton, which suffered three fatalities just days earlier when an EF-3 tornado barrelled through it.
Weather systems “capable of damaging gusts, large hail, or tornadoes will be possible over a vast area from” Colorado to Florida and central Texas to the Lower Missouri Valley and the Midwest, the National Weather Service tweeted on Saturday. Very large hail “will be possible” in Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, as well as along the eastern Gulf Coast, the tweet continued.
