Some of the heavy structural damage to larger buildings does not look like hurricane damage, it looks like tornado damage. You wouldn’t see a large gaping hole through the middle of a long multistory brick apartment building with either end largely intact from a hurricane, you’d see the windward side stripped of roofing, the eaves and possibly the entire roof deck torn off, one or two sides of brick fallen off and many if not most of the windows that weren’t boarded up broken out with hurricane damage. If the hurricane was strong enough, the whole building would have collapsed. So, I’m pretty sure there was at least one pretty strong tornado that went through Rockport along with the hurricane, myself.

I agree with you- much of what I’ve seen on the YouTube videos is tornado damage. Thinking more than one.

Tornadoes were the cause of much of the horrible damage from Andrew in South Florida.
