At least 2 injured as storms tear through Texas, damaging homes

At least 2 people were hospitalized as thunderstorms tore through parts of Texas on Tuesday, with powerful winds ripping roofs off homes, flattening buildings, and scattering debris. The event is clearly negative for affected households and property, but it is localized and unlikely to have a broad market impact beyond regional insurance and reconstruction exposure.
