Aftermath of a tornado in Round Rock, one of several to hit Central Texas. Police and fire say they've completed their primary search and found no people significantly injured or dead. Some homes and businesses damaged.

There was a tornado watch but not a full tornado warning at the time this tornado formed and touched down near the junction of I-35 and TX-45. The tornado moved NE from Round Rock toward Hutto and beyond.
