A powerful tornado swept through northwest Houston Monday afternoon, leaving significant damage across neighborhoods like Memorial Northwest.

Over 100 homes were damaged, most heavily near Cypress and Klein, as residents watched roofs ripped off and debris scattered into the streets.

Fortunately, no injuries have been reported, though several homes, especially along the 8000 block of Summer Grove Circle in Klein, suffered major structural impact.

A residential fire at Spring Cypress and Doerre Road was believed to be caused by lightning striking during the storm.

The Houston Fire Department quickly deployed teams to clear fallen trees and debris, urging the public to steer clear of affected zones so emergency responders can work safely.

Officials stress staying alert to weather updates, checking on neighbors with special needs, and reporting hazards to local services as recovery efforts begin.

Innovative entertainment is coming to Willowbrook Mall with the upcoming Round1 Entertainment complex, featuring arcade games, bowling, karaoke, and sports zones.

Baybrook Mall enjoys renewed energy, converting Sears into a stylish Living Spaces superstore, and welcoming Crocs and Cantina Tequila Bar to the mix.
