Tornadoes Rip Through Texas Near Lubbock, Injuring 3 And Leaving Thousands Without Power In Chaos

Tornadoes tore through northwest Texas on Thursday, striking areas near Lubbock and leaving a trail of destruction.

Over 13,000 homes lost power, and at least three people were injured in Hockley County.

The National Weather Service issued a tornado warning at 7:39 p.m., calling the storm a “life-threatening situation.” While Lubbock was spared a direct hit, severe thunderstorms, wind speeds of up to 80 mph, and hail the size of softballs wreaked havoc across rural communities, flooding roads and damaging homes throughout the affected counties.

“ACT OF GOD?”: Trump Press Sec Blames God for Deadly Texas Flood Question |FEMA Funding in Spotlight

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt is facing intense criticism after calling the deadly Texas floods—claiming over 100 lives—an “act of God.” The comment came as search and rescue efforts continued in Kerr County, where floodwaters swept through homes and Camp Mystic. Critics argue the Trump administration’s underfunding of FEMA and the National Weather Service worsened the crisis. During a press conference, reporters challenged Leavitt over delayed alerts and lack of preparedness. The backlash grows as families demand accountability for a preventable disaster. #TexasFloods #KarolineLeavitt #ActOfGod #TrumpAdministration #FEMA #NWS #FloodTragedy #BreakingNews #WeatherAlert #NaturalDisaster #WhiteHouse #FloodResponse #DisasterRelief #PublicSafety #TexasNews #EmergencyPreparedness #CampMystic #SearchAndRescue #ClimateCrisis #GuadalupeRiver #TrumpNews #LeavittBacklash #KerrCounty #WeatherWarnings #PoliticalAccountability #PressBriefing #MediaQuestioning #GovernmentResponse #ActOfGodBacklash #FloodPolitics #CrisisInTexas Also Read Trump Administration Directs California to Restrict Trans Girls from Competing in Sports Teams :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-administration-california-trans-girls-sports-011-7783503.html?ref=DMDesc World Pride 2025 Concludes with Rally Emphasising LGBTQ+ Activism Amid Political Challenges :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/world-pride-2025-defiant-politics-display-011-4175857.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Administration Halts New Student Visa Interviews While Considering Social Media Vetting :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-administration-halts-student-visa-interviews-social-media-vetting-011-4165557.html?ref=DMDesc

White House SHUTS DOWN ‘Fake News’ On Texas Flood Warnings | NWS Gave ‘Early Alerts’, Was ‘Fully
’

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt forcefully rebutted media reports blaming the National Weather Service (NWS) for the catastrophic Texas flooding, which left at least 82 dead. In a fiery press briefing, Leavitt dismissed claims that NWS offices were understaffed or delayed in issuing warnings. “Fake news,” she said, confirming San Angelo and San Antonio offices had full meteorologist teams—12 and 11 forecasters, respectively. She detailed that initial weather risk alerts were issued as early as July 2, with escalating warnings on July 3 and an official flood watch by 1:18 P.M. Leavitt emphasized that warnings were “early and consistent,” despite the flood striking during early morning hours. As questions swirl over the government’s disaster readiness, the White House insists the systems in place worked — and that misleading narratives must stop. The press secretary’s remarks mark a key moment in the intensifying political fallout surrounding the Texas tragedy. #TexasFloods #KarolineLeavitt #NationalWeatherService #FloodWarnings #DisasterResponse #FakeNewsAlert #PressBriefing #NWSStaffing #TexasEmergency #WhiteHouseResponse #FloodTragedy #WeatherAlert #SanAngeloWeather #SanAntonioFloods #LeavittPressConference #MediaAccountability #FEMAUpdate #BreakingNews #TexasWatch #NWSDefense ~HT.410~ED.420~
