I do not know if any tornadoes were recorded in Beaumont but Rita had to have spun off some tornadoes or at least tornadic winds
here.If you look at the destruction you'd know some of it had to be tornadic. Also, the few people I know who
stayed heard the "freight train" sounds. Of course, there is wind damage absolutely everywhere
but the way some of the trees were broken off and twisted it looks like tornado damage. Looks like Wilma may make it to Cat 3.
I hope everyone has evacuated that needed to and that all have made preparations. Will be thinking of everyone and hope for the
best.
