Cleanup Following Tornado in Beaumont
BEAUMONT, Texas (AP) - Cleanup continues in Beaumont after a tornado flipped vehicles in parking lots and damaged some stores.

Repairs continued Wednesday from the fast-moving storm that left behind no serious injuries.

Roof damage was reported at a Kohls Department Store and a Wal-Mart from the tornado, which swept into the area Tuesday afternoon.

Montra Lockwood with the National Weather Service told KBMT-TV that the entire event probably lasted less than five minutes.

Christus St. Elizabeth Hospital received 10 patients Tuesday afternoon. Spokeswoman Jacquelynn Conger says most of the injured suffered minor cuts and abrasions.

Utilities checked for gas leaks and repaired power lines.
