A line of severe storms caused damage in southeastern Texas Tuesday morning, including near the Houston metro area.
Roof damage to homes and businesses was reported near Stafford, Texas, due to a possible tornado, the National Weather Service said. A brief tornado was also reported south of Rosenburg, Texas. Both of those locations are southwest of Houston.
It was not immediately known how many structures were damaged in the storms. Photos from the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office showed damage to the Bridlewood subdivision, located east of Rosenburg.
