Some fans got soaked during Thursday night’s Astros game, even though Minute Maid Park had its retractable roof closed, as severe weather hits the Houston area.
Several people were injured when a tornado damaged two apartment complexes in Arkansas, part of a powerful line of thunderstorms that was dumping more rain Thursday on waterlogged areas throughout the nation's midsection.
The National Weather Service issued flood warnings as more than 5 inches of rain fell in parts of Mississippi. The downpours swelled streams and made driving difficult. Some high water disrupted traffic in some intersections in the western Houston area, and fire-rescue crews were making a handful of high-water rescues. But with the exception of a couple of small creeks, most streams were still within their banks. No injuries or flooded buildings were immediately reported.
Pine Bluff Police Chief Kelvin Sergeant said four people were hurt, according to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette."One of those is probably going to be pretty severe," he said. Resident Carla Jackson told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette that she heard a loud boom and that the storm moved in quickly.
