11:40 p.m.: Rockport City Manager Kevin Carruth confirmed that there are damages throughout the city. Responders are out while the eye of the storm is over the city but will return to safety once the eye passes.
“We’re not going to be able to get everywhere within the short window we have before the eye leaves,” Carruth said.
He said there is major tree damage all around and that the courthouse has had major damage. There’s a cargo trailer that is halfway in the building, he said. He also said that there are vehicles damage “all over the place.”
