There have been no reports of injuries caused by the tornado so far, however, some homes have reported minor damage.

Williamson County officials later reported that two separate tornadoes were possible. One was north of Florence, spotted at 5:25 p.m. and the other north of Jarrell spotted at 5:36 p.m.

The sheriff’s office closed northbound and southbound traffic on Interstate 35 at mile marker 278 as the tornado appeared to be about to cross the highway.

“Williamson County is still under a tornado watch until 11 p.m. tonight, so we encourage our residents to stay tuned to local weather forecasts and know where to go if the tornado watch turns into a warning,” said Williamson County Judge Bill Gravell.
