The storm blew out car windows near the post office, said Bert Quintanilla, chief of staff for state Rep. Jaime Capelo, who was dropping off mail.

My brother in law's brother was at work at the post office when it happend. It blew all the windows out of the post office as well, and scared the shit outta almost everyone there. Tornados are unbelievably rare in this part of Texas. We usually only get them with associated hurricanes. Outside of Hurricanes, San Antonio has had two in the last 50 years. So they are really rare here.
I am glad most people in CC escaped without serious harm or injury. Since we dont deal with tornados down here, no one has the emergency preparedness for them. There are no sirens or emergency warning mechanisms, other than TV or radio. Residents should consider themselves very lucky.
