BELL COUNTY, Texas (FOX 44) – The Bell County Office of Emergency Management (OEM) is assessing damage from two rounds of severe storms. According to county, these storms occured on Monday, May 26. These resulted in power outages, structural damage, and debris-covered roadways. The first round began around 7 a.m., followed by a second round around 8 p.m. Bell County Emergency Management (OEM), along with Bell County Road and Bridge and the Texas Department of Transportation, worked through the night to clear debris from roadways. The county says storms moved from west to east, producing heavy rainfall, damaging winds, and some hail. Wind gusts reached 80 to 85 miles per hour, knocking over trees and power lines and damaging homes and outbuildings. The county says no tornadoes have been confirmed. The Office of Emergency Management has not received any reports of major injuries. ONCOR crews are working to restore power as quickly and safely as possible.
