NWS meteorologist Barry Goldsmith noted that the storm lacked discernible rotation on radar. Residents are encouraged to report any damage to homes or businesses via the Texas Division of Emergency Management's iSTAT survey, with a more detailed report on the storm anticipated to be released on Sunday.
