The road are closed and residents who can’t go home were advised to go to the high school. There are no injuries, so far.

Are you fracking kidding me, it's a TX SUMMER and they asked the residents to leave their AC off and their windows closed. Please, God please, keep an eye on the elderly, and the young children to prevent heat stroke.
