CACTUS, Texas (AP) - Downed power lines, flattened houses and roads littered with debris kept many residents from returning to their homes Sunday in this rural Panhandle town hit hard by what appeared to be a group of tornadoes.
At least 14 people were injured, one of them critically, during the storms late Saturday that knocked out power to about 20,000 customers in the region, officials said.
About 50 townspeople were unaccounted for Sunday, Moore County Judge Rowdy Rhoades said. He believes all of them are safe and likely evacuated after hearing tornado sirens in this mostly poor city of 2,500.
