At least 1 person was killed in Hardin County. Jasper and Newton Counties were declared disaster areas by their county judges.

Here's a photo of the Tornado that hit Silsbee, which also killed a woman.
Local Meterologist took a helicopter tour, and believes that the tornado in this picture was rated a high F2 or low F3 (140MPH-160MPH). Those types of tornado's are VERY rare for this part of Texas.. These photos are from Jasper and Hardin Counties.
