injured, one critically, from one or more tornadoes that struck
near the Mason-Llano county line Tuesday evening, officials said. A spokeswoman at Heart of Texas Hospital in Brady, about 40
miles northwest of the towns of Loyal Valley and Castell, said
one critically injured person had been transferred to another
hospital in San Angelo. At least three injured people were en route to Hill Country
Memorial Hospital in Fredericksburg, about 30 miles south of the
area hit by the storm, said hospital emergency room worker Mike
Terry. Terry said the Mason County sheriff's department called to
alert the hospital about injured people. The department refused
to release information to The Associated Press. The storms reportedly hit near Loyal Valley, in eastern Mason
County, and near Castell, in western Llano County. The National Weather Service said a possible tornado was spotted
at 5:57 p.m. two miles northwest of San Saba, where a barn was
damaged. Hail pounded the Mason area. A tornado at Loyal Valley was reported at 6:10 p.m., and hail
almost 2 inches wide was reported two miles west of Castell at
6:55 p.m. Later in the evening, one or more tornadoes were in the Texas
Lakes area, northwest of Austin. Severe storms also were moving
east along Interstate 20, toward the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
