At least 13 people were killed when a tornado struck the Mexican border city of Ciudad Acuna on Monday, NBC News reports. The tornado, which flipped cars, destroyed homes, and ripped an infant—still missing—from its mother’s arms. At least 230 people were injured.

“It hit an area of about seven blocks,” Victor Zamora, interior secretary of the northern state of Coahuila said. The neighborhood was “devastated.”

The tornado is part of the same weather system that tore through Texas and Oklahoma this weekend. At least three people were killed in those states, the Guardian reports, and 12 are still missing.

“It’s unprecedented in our history,” Johnson County emergency management coordinator Jamie Moore told the Dallas Morning News. “People who lived here their entire lives can’t remember a spring like this.”
