A powerful tornado that hit central Texas on May 22 caused “significant” damage to homes and structures in Temple, according to local media reports.

Video captured by Aaron Garland’s dashcam shows the tornado sweeping through the street and igniting sparks as it hits power lines.

On Wednesday night, the City of Temple said emergency services were prioritizing “life-saving” calls and that roads were “dangerous, closed, or impassible.”

By Thursday morning, assistance to residents and recovery efforts were ongoing, city officials said.

Further severe storms remained possible for the region through Thursday, according to the National Weather Service. Credit: Aaron Garland via Storyful
