A National Weather Service team surveyed tornado damage in 
northwest San Antonio. The survey team found evidence of EF-1

roughly two miles southwest of the I-10 and Loop 1604 interchange
and dissipated just north of The Rim. This PNS will be updated 
with a more detailed report on the survey at a later date.
