A powerful tornado left at least four people dead and 10 injured in the southern U.S. state of Texas, where officials and residents were already grappling with a heat wave.
"The town of Matador has experienced an unprecedented tornado bringing damaging winds," the fire service in the neighboring city of Lubbock said in a statement posted to Twitter Thursday.
"There are four confirmed fatalities & ten total injuries," it said. The statement said that given the high temperatures, the city had opened a cooling center for residents.
Matador, with a population of about 600, is the main city in Motley County in north Texas.
The U.S. National Weather Service, confirming the toll, described "significant damage" on the west side of Matador, with several buildings heavily damaged or destroyed.
