A Southeast Georgetown resident's trailer overturned due to the storm.  
Overnight and Monday morning storms wreaked havoc on parts of Central Texas.

In Williamson County, several homes were damaged shortly after 4 a.m. as a strong thunderstorm passed through the county, just southeast of Georgetown. Damage includes broken windows, roof damage and downed limbs.

Connie Watson, Williamson County public information officer, said 24 homes were affected by the storm, including damage to houses, trees or outbuildings on the property.

A trailer overturned, and the owner said he had a 3,000-pound silo next to the trailer that ended up in his neighbor’s yard.

911 Calls

Listen to some of the 911 calls made, reporting damage and funnel clouds, after 4 a.m. Monday.



There have been reports of a possible tornado, but until crews survey the damages, this cannot be confirmed. The National Weather Service has not confirmed whether it was in fact a tornado, but neighbors said it was the worst storm they've experienced.

"It was going up and down, up and down," resident Jessica Conde said. "We could hear the roaring and then the hail and the heavy winds. I thoughy, 'Oh, no, this is there.' It lasted no more than three minutes at the most."

There were no injuries reported, but one woman was treated for anxiety related to the storm.

The area affected is near County Road 100 and County Road 130 in Georgetown.

Meteorologist Marc Gomez said the last week in April is typically the worst time in terms of severe weather.

Neighbors are calling the storm a tornado, but until crews survey the damage, this cannot be confirmed.
