106 MPH Winds Slam Seymour, Texas in Severe Storm

Located in Baylor County, Seymour was among the hardest-hit areas as a cluster of severe thunderstorms moved through the region. The 106 mph wind speed, recorded by a reliable mesonet station in the area, rivals the strength of a Category 2 hurricane, underscoring the sheer force behind Tuesday night's storms.

While no fatalities were reported, the damage was visible across the community Wednesday morning. Local officials and weather experts say incidents like this are a reminder of the importance of preparedness, especially as severe weather becomes more frequent and intense in parts of the southern Plains.

Meteorologists are continuing to monitor the system as it moves eastward, cautioning residents across Texas and neighboring states to remain vigilant. In the meantime, recovery efforts are already underway in Seymour, where cleanup crews and residents are assessing the damage and restoring basic services.

The National Weather Service is expected to release a detailed storm report later this week.
