Abilene TV station damaged, knocked off air by storm

AUSTIN (KXAN) — A severe storm late Sunday damaged a TV station north of Abilene, Texas, according to the station’s social media account.

Pictures posted by KTXS show damage to a section of the station’s roof and walls. Another picture shows a steel tower lying on the ground.

The station said that none of its employees were injured during the storm.

Time codes on the social media posts suggest that the station was hit after 11 p.m. Sunday.

KTXS Meteorologist Mark Rowlett said in a social media post that the damage was caused by strong winds. The damage knocked the station off-air, he said.

KTXS is a Sinclair-owned station and ABC affiliate that covers the Abilene area. Nexstar-owned NBC-affiliate KRBC and CBS-affiliate KTAB, as well as Tegna-owned Fox-affiliated KXVA also serve the Abilene area.
