What to do

Move now to a basement or an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building. Stay away from windows.

If you are outdoors, in a mobile home or in a vehicle, get to the closest substantial shelter and protect yourself from flying debris. Mobile homes offer little protection from a tornado.

Stay in shelter until the warning ends at 7:15 PM CDT or the National Weather Service says the danger has passed. Keep a way to receive updated alerts.

Context

Both counties have a history of FEMA-declared disasters involving storms. A disaster declaration on September 1, 2026 (number 4935) covered severe storms, straight-line winds, tornadoes and flooding in both Kinney and Uvalde counties.

FEMA flood-insurance claims count only insured homes and businesses, so they understate total damage. Kinney County has 7 claims on record and Uvalde County has 130, dated from 1978 through 2026. These claims relate to flooding, not tornadoes.
