00:04OLNOSSTARRThe storm survey investigated an incident at a fuel service station on the east side of Rio Grande City. The gull canopy tipped over with bent columns at foundation. No other damage in area was noted, so wind speed at the site was estimated to be 65 to 70 mph. The canopy collapsed onto a pickup truck underneath, and injured one adult and two children inside. Wind driven hail may have also been a factor based on vehicle impacts near the location.
