"It was a wild overnight with the storms. Lots of trees downed hit cars, powerlines, and fences," the Spring Fire Department said in a Facebook post.

Spring Fire's Ladder 74 C-Shift crew said they used their ladder to evacuate 12 people, including a child and pregnant woman, along with multiple animals overnight.

There were no reported injuries.
