The National Weather Service confirmed five tornadoes across North Texas on Tuesday, including an EF3 that tore through Mineral Wells along Highway 180, injuring five people and leveling warehouses in the industrial area. Three more hit Johnson County near Cleburne, Rio Vista, and Cresson, with baseball-sized hail damaging homes around Lake Pat Cleburne.
