Nearly two dozen people were injured when tornadoes swept through central Texas as part of a storm system that was expected to spawn more twisters and damaging winds Wednesday.

The storms caused widespread damage Tuesday in Salado, about 50 miles north of Austin. Bell County Judge David Blackburn said 23 people were injured, one of them critically. Twelve of the injured were taken to hospitals, Blackburn said.

Tornadoes were also spotted Tuesday in Iowa, but there were no reports of serious injuries. In Lincoln, Nebraska, powerful wind gusts knocked down tree limbs and caused some roof damage. A possible tornado also caused damage in the small southern Minnesota town of Taopi near the state's border with Iowa.

More tornadoes were in the forecast Wednesday for parts of the mid-South and in the Mississippi River Valley, the Storm Prediction Center said.

Murder charge over self-induced abortion dismissed in TexasA Texas judge formally dismissing a murder charge Monday against a 26-year-old woman over a self-induced abortion did not quiet outrage or questions surrounding the case, including why prosecutors ever brought it to a grand jury. As a result result of this legal malfeasance, the resultant civil suit should put Starr County, Texas in a position that they would be unable to afford the purchase of paper clips, let alone the salaries of any staff... If a child is forced to die due to circumstances created out of their control of no fault of their own, should that same principle be used on the one that caused the pregnancy? Does the significance of life change due to your position in it ? If outside that life's control? I hope she sues so hard she gets Greg Abbott's house.

Sideways snow slams into Manitoba with strong winds from storm system | CBC NewsStrong winds and sideways snow are blowing through southern Manitoba as a storm system centred just across the U.S. border makes its presence felt. “A pair of geese look a little confused…” A bit of an anthropomorphic leap there. As it usually does during a blizzard....nothing new here but the media sure is blowing it out of proportion. As are the safety measures currently being put in place across the Province for a storm that will only hit a small portion of it. The rest of Canada would like to thank Manitoba for reminding us how wonderful a slightly wet spring is. PS. don't blame Trudeau for this it is clearly your Premier's fault.
