A tornado was confirmed in Katy, TX just west of Houston early Wednesday morning, producing damage in the city. It was rated as an EF-1. Thankfully, no injuries were reported at this time.

Strong storms were also present in Louisana and Mississippi on Tuesday night with an "observed" tornado just west of Jackson, MS before 9 PM local time.

Thankfully the tornado threat didn't materialize in the city, but the strong winds associated with the line of storms blew down trees in Vicksburg, MS stalling traffic and landing on a semi. Storm surveys in the coming days will determine if a tornado touched down or if the damage was a result of straight-line winds.
