At least 50 homes in Lamar County, Texas, were damaged or destroyed by Hurricane Harvey, the sheriff’s office said.

Overnight tornadoes can be particularly dangerous because they can be hard to see as they move quickly through an area, and it’s also more challenging to ensure residents are warned during those hours.

A preliminary accounting Friday evening from the National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center shows nine tornadoes formed in Texas, four in Arkansas and one in Oklahoma.

Plus, more than 100,000 homes and businesses were without power across Arkansas, Louisiana, southeastern Oklahoma and eastern Texas as of early Saturday, according to Poweroutage.us.

The National Weather Service confirmed late Friday that a tornado moving 45 mph was detected over the city of Wrightsville in Pulaski County, Arkansas, just south of Little Rock.

There will be more tornadoes recorded Saturday and the intensity of each will be unknown until damage surveys are conducted by National Weather Service offices.

A sudden onset of cold weather amid unseasonably warm conditions had been forecast to create the biggest tornado threat the US has seen in more than five months.

A tornado that tore through Lamar County, Texas injured at least 10 people, and officials declared the area a disaster. No deaths have been reported.

The sheriff’s office said two of the injured were in critical condition. A first responders was in surgery on Friday after being injured during the storms, Hill told CNN.

A woman in Choctaw County, Oklahoma, was injured by a falling tree as she was trying to get to a storm shelter, Lewis Collins, a volunteer at the Choctaw Office of Emergency Management, told CNN. It’s unclear whether a tornado had occurred in that area.

The storm system is the same that dumped feet of snow across parts of California, leaving some trapped in their homes with snow piled as high as second-story windows and prompting the governor to declare a state of emergency in 13 counties. Many of the people affected are bracing for snow and rain on Saturday.

Among those killed due to weather were at least three Kentuckians, Gov. Andy Beshear confirmed Friday afternoon.

Damaging winds, isolated large hail and a few tornadoes could be seen from southern Indiana through Kentucky and Tennessee and into northeastern Alabama and northwestern Georgia. The regions have a higher risk of severe storms that could occur more frequently and be more intense.

Nearly 25 million people are under flood watches from Oklahoma to Ohio, where there is a slight risk of excessive rainfall. The strongest storms could dump 1 to 2 inches of rain per hour.

A number of structure fires in San Bernardino County appear to be storm-related, the county fire department told CNN. The department said the number of fires is “atypical” but did not provide an exact number.

According to Fire Chief Dan Munsey, there were several house fires due to gas leaks. Some of them are located in areas with unpassable roads. Firefighters are often called to respond to fires in homes with snowcats, and often they need to dig hydrants out of the snow to put out the fire.

Residents of Crestline have become very worried about access to supplies due to the store’s collapse, as their only local grocery store closed because of the heavy snow, according to CNN.
