The National Weather Service (NWS) reported that several inches of rain have fallen and warned of potential wind gusts up to 60 mph and torrential rainfall. A meteorologist from News 4 San Antonio shared on Facebook that the Tower of the Americas was shaking in the wind, highlighting the storm's intensity. While some feared a tornado during the storm, no tornado warning has been issued. One X user reported hearing transformers buzzing and feeling terrified, although there is no official confirmation of a twister in the area. The San Antonio River Authority advised residents to stay informed and safe due to heavy rainfall and the risk of low water crossings. Several social media users shared photos and videos of the torrential downpour, lightning, and flash flooding in the city.",
