“The most significant structural damage occurred at the Oasis Apartments, 6023 UTSA Blvd., where a large section of the roof was torn from the building and three fourth-floor units were affected,” the city said.
The city said the American Red Cross is available to assist displaced residents with immediate needs. Residents needing assistance can call 1-800-RED-CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
Residents are also encouraged to report property damage from the storm by submitting a self-assessment survey through the Individual State of Texas Assessment Tool. The city noted reporting damage is voluntary and does not replace filing a claim with an insurance provider, nor does it guarantee disaster relief.

The city will provide debris collection service to residents in storm-affected areas. Debris should be placed at the curb, clear of vehicles and other obstructions. Residents needing help with debris, downed trees or a property damage assessment should call 311.
City staff removed 57 trees following storms this week, including 34 on Wednesday alone. Twenty low-water crossings were barricaded as of 4 p.m. Wednesday, with crews monitoring conditions overnight.
The city urges residents to monitor weather alerts avoid damaged areas, flooded roadways and downed power lines.
Anyone who comes across a downed power line should stay away and report it to CPS Energy at 210-353-HELP (4357). Residents who smell gas should immediately move to a safe location, call 911 and contact CPS Energy at the same number.
