HOUSTON — It's said that "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night" keep postal workers from completing their rounds. You can include a tornado in the saying after a twister's brief touchdown flipped a USPS vehicle Thursday along Plumbrook Drive.

HOUSTON – The National Weather Service says they are looking into whether damage to two homes in the Alief area may have been caused by a brief tornado. The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported. The homes are located on Plumbrook Drive, near Kirkwood and Bissonnet.

Neighbors say there were 3-5 terrifying minutes during the storms that slammed Harris County Thursday. One home had major damage and a USPS truck was tipped over.
