Severe storms with high winds and hail left some San Antonians with broken windows and without power Wednesday evening.
Photos captured by locals show apartment windows busted by hail and lightning over the downtown skyline. CPS Energy reported more than 17,000 customers were affected by power outages.
The National Weather Service estimates San Antonio received up to half an inch of rainfall from 7 p.m. Wednesday to 7 a.m. Thursday.
It was the second bout of severe weather the area faced in less than a week. A tornado with maximum winds of 100 miles per hour touched down in a Northwest Side neighborhood Sunday evening, the NWS confirmed.
