“You could hear it – it sounded like a train going off. It was scary,” he said

The same storm spawned another tornado that tore through part of the town of Cleburne, about 25 miles south-east of Granbury, the National Weather Service said.

There have been no reports of any fatalities from Cleburne so far.
