SAN ANTONIO — A tornado damaged parts of northwest San Antonio on Wednesday, tearing roofs from buildings, toppling trees and damaging businesses, but no injuries were reported, city officials said.
The storm affected areas including the University of Texas at San Antonio, The Rim, Camp Bullis, Crown Ridge and The Dominion. Officials reported damage to roofs, storefronts, signs and trees.
The most severe damage occurred at the Oasis Apartments on UTSA Boulevard, where a large section of the roof was ripped from the building. Three fourth-floor units were damaged, and residents described the storm as it moved through the area.
The city urged displaced residents to contact the American Red Cross for assistance and encouraged property owners to report damage through the state’s Individual State of Texas Assessment Tool (iSTAT). Officials noted that submitting an assessment does not guarantee disaster assistance.
Residents needing help with storm debris, downed trees or property damage assessments were advised to call 311. Officials also warned the public to avoid downed power lines and report them to CPS Energy, while anyone smelling natural gas should move to a safe location and call 911 and CPS Energy.
City crews removed 57 trees from storm-affected areas this week, including 34 on Wednesday, and barricaded 20 low-water crossings as they continued monitoring conditions.
