Summary:  Just after 740 PM CDT June 12, 2025, a strong microburst
descended from a severe thunderstorm in North Alamo, near the city
line with Muniz, causing damage to traffic lights, a stand alone
tower, powerlines/poles, fences and trees as well as ripped off the
roof of a house, flipped a trailer and dislocated a metal structure.
Altogether, the damage locations were along a northwest to southeast-
oriented line with six of the seven surveyed locations north of
Expressway 83/east of Interstate 69C (beginning near the Muniz/North
Alamo city line) and the 7th spot south of Expressway 83 in Donna.

The most notable damage was to a metal stand alone tower nearby the
Donna North High School, which was bent perpendicular to the tower`s
base. We acknowledge Hidalgo County`s Emergency Management
Coordinator, Ricardo Saldana, and Deputy Management Coordinator,
Eric Cantu, for their help during the survey.
