On April 29, severe thunderstorms swept through Mineral Wells, Texas, injuring at least two people and causing widespread damage to homes and businesses. The storms, which included at least one unconfirmed tornado, resulted in roofs being ripped off and debris being scattered throughout the area. In response to the destruction, city officials declared a local state of disaster and imposed a 10 pm curfew to ensure public safety and protect personal belongings. The National Weather Service warned that the storms could produce hail larger than 2 inches and damaging winds as they moved southeast into Arkansas and Mississippi. Residents in need of assistance were directed to the local high school, where the Red Cross was providing support. Fortunately, all employees of Ventamatic, a local manufacturer, were evacuated safely before the storms hit, but the facility will remain closed due to severe damage and safety hazards.
