Texas tornado: Locals flee for cover as twister touches down in Round Rock

Texas locals were forced to find cover as a "volatile" tornado ripped through the state on Monday.

Twisters touched down in the towns of Jacksboro, Luling and Round Rock, while also hitting Oklahoma, damaging multiple homes and buildings, including a school and an animal shelter.

Footage shared on social media shows a number of people standing at the door of a Walmart as the tornado touches down close to the car park.
