CANYON, Texas (AP) At least eight tornadoes touched down in the Texas Panhandle over the weekend, with one packing winds as high as 120 miles per hour (193 kilometers per hour).
The tornadoes on Saturday snapped power poles and trees and damaged some homes and recreational vehicles. The tornadoes were in mostly rural areas and no deaths or injuries were reported.
Palo Duro Canyon State Park was among areas damaged in the storm.
“In general, the park has a lot of windows and fencing to replace, roofs to repair and replace, and vehicles to repair,” said Texas Parks and Wildlife Department spokeswoman Megan Radke. “Bottom line, all damage to park facilities is fixable and the park’s focus remains on gratitude that all visitors and staff are safe.”
Just as sure as hell is hot, Republican state lawmakers push to impose restrictions on abortions each legislative session. But a new bill filed last Tuesday stands out among even the most extreme.
Royse City state Rep. Bryan Slaton is pushing to ban and criminalize abortions, and his bill would see that women and attendant physicians might have to face the death penalty. Although the bill would provide exemptions in certain cases where the woman’s life was threatened, rape and incest aren’t among them.
“It is time for Texas to protect the natural right to life for the tiniest and most innocent Texans, and this bill does just that,” Slaton said in a statement. “It’s time Republicans make it clear that we actually think abortion is murder. … Unborn children are dying at a faster rate in Texas than COVID patients, but Texas isn’t taking the abortion crisis seriously.”

Ted Cruz faced a lot of backlash after it was revealed he has flown to Cancun for a trip with his family as Texans struggled with freezing cold temperatures and power outages following winter storms, and now, with a new natural disaster and weather threat approaching the region, the senator is once again receiving heat for his previous actions.
As news of a weather system that could dump snow on Colorado and bring rain and a moderate risk of tornadoes to the Texas panhandle and Western Oklahoma began to circulate, Cruz, who was seen flying to Cancun during the state’s winter storms, quickly found himself ridiculed over his past behavior.
