At least 13 people were killed, including three children, after a ferocious tornado hit the border city of Ciudad Acuña, Mexico, Monday morning in just six seconds. Three hundred others were hospitalized for injuries, while 400 homes were destroyed, according to Acuña Mayor Evaristo Lenin Perez.

"There's nothing standing, not walls, not roofs," said Edgar Gonzalez, a city government spokesman.

Cars were flung around like matchsticks, while a baby inside a carrier was torn from a mother, sent flying, and is now missing.

Rescue workers worked immediately to find victims and dig through the debris from damaged homes, according to TIME.

After the Mexico tornado, photos appeared on Twitter. Cars were shown blown upright, with the front bumper lying on the ground and some leaning against homes. School buses were also seen flipped upside down.

According to officials, there are no records showing a tornado with such power hitting the city in more than a hundred years.

The Mexico tornado, which was produced by a storm, is reportedly the same one that caused rains and severe flooding in Central Texas, where 12 people remain missing, reported The Week.

In Texas, 2,000 people also had to flee their homes as heavy rains brought serious threat to their lives.

The severe flooding hit towns near the Blanco River especially hard.

A survivor named Jonathan McComb was hospitalized after his home was carried off by the current down the river and struck a bridge. His wife and two children remain missing after the flooding. They are among dozens who went missing due to the catastrophe.

Both Texas and Mexico communities experienced the thunderstorm Monday, which brought rain and hail, but severe weather brought the brunt upon Acuña, according to CNN.

Since the region where the tornado struck Acuña is densely populated, damage is more severe.

Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto is already on his way to Acuña, a city of 125,000 sitting across the border from Del Rio, Texas, to survey the damage.
