Tornado-spawning storms tore through southern Missouri on Sunday, May 26, bringing baseball-sized hail and damaging gusts reaching 80mph.

Local emergency response teams urged Texas County residents to get to shelters on Sunday evening, as a number of storm cells moved into the area.

Footage captured by storm chaser Matthew Ammon shows a “strong” tornado touching down near Houston, Texas County.

Two homes suffered a direct hit, but no one was in at the time, a spokesperson for Texas County Emergency Management told Ozarks First.
