16:46Z EF0 KEWX TX Blanco Twin Sisters A thunderstorm produced a brief, weak tornado just east of Hwy 281 near the Little Blanco River. No damage was reported.
19:10Z EF0 KGLD CO Yuma Alvin No damage was reported.
20:00Z EF0 KGLD KS Logan Page City The tornado was intermittently in contact with the ground for about 10 minutes. No damage was reported.
20:03Z EF0 KDDC KS Lane Amy This landspout was one of the first tornadoes reported during this event. It moved northwest very slowly.
21:02Z EF0 KDDC KS Lane Dighton Arpt This landspout looking tornado traveled northwest.
21:21Z EF0 KDDC KS Lane Dighton Arpt This landspout also moved northwest as did the one that formed at 402 PM CDT.
21:24Z EF0 KDDC KS Lane Amy This was a brief tornado and had apparently weak ground circulation.
21:58Z EF2 KAMA TX Hemphill Canadian Hemphill Ar An EF-2 tornado touched down as a cone at 4:58 PM CDT and quickly became a wedge tornado with a path width of 0.7 miles. Approximately forty individuals took cover in a storm shelter at a drilling rig. Three people outside the shelter were injured and two of them were airlifted with critical injuries. The edge of the tornadic rotation lifted two temporary mobile homes and lofted them 50 to 70 yards completely destroying the structures. Two pickup trucks were also thrown roughly 50 yards. Some debarking of trees was noted near the destroyed mobile homes. Several large temporary structures were also moved from their original locations. This tornado was well witnessed and video documented. Personnel at the drilling rig indicate the large tornado was nearly stationary, moving slightly east and back west before moving back east into their structure.
22:10Z EF0 KDDC KS Haskell Satanta Muni Arpt This landspout formed first before the mesocyclone tornado formed.
22:14Z EF1 KDDC KS Haskell Sublette This tornado did high end EF1 damage to Pivot irrigation sprinklers along with other damage to several outbuildings and eight large grain bins. A semi was flipped and carried into a field.
22:45Z EF0 KDDC KS Lane Alamota This tornado moved into Finney county at 5:53 PM CDT.
22:53Z EF0 KDDC KS Finney Kalvesta This tornado crossed into the county from Lane county at 5:53 PM CDT.
22:54Z EF0 KDDC KS Finney Kalvesta This tornado moved slowly and made a fish hook type of loop. There was mostly grass land in this area.
23:02Z EF1 KAMA TX Hemphill Canadian Hemphill Ar This was the first of two tornadoes that hit the same area within minutes. These tornadoes were documented on video within minutes of each other. It is nearly impossible to determine which tornado cause what damage but a swath of damage was noted, likely with some caused by each touchdown.
23:05Z EF1 KAMA TX Hemphill Canadian Hemphill Ar This was the second of two tornadoes that hit the same area. These tornadoes were documented on video touching down within minutes of each other. It is nearly impossible to determine which tornado caused what damage but a swath of EF-1 damage was noted, likely with some caused by each touchdown. Estimated peak wind was 100 mph.
23:05Z EF0 KAMA TX Hemphill Canadian Hemphill Ar This tornado was reported by multiple storm chasers and also touched down within the damage path of the first EF-2 tornado. Eyewitness reports indicate that this tornado stayed over open fields and cause no additional damage.
23:14Z EF0 KDDC KS Finney Kalvesta This tornado got wrapped in rain several times but no damage was found. It's mostly grassland in this area.
00:33Z EF0 KDDC KS Gray Cimarron Arpt This was a brief and apparent weak tornado.
00:35Z EF0 KMAF TX Pecos Belding A thunderstorm moved across Pecos County and produced a brief tornado about 22 miles northwest of Belding. The time that the tornado was on the ground is an estimate as well as the distance traveled and the path width. There was no damage reported so the tornado was rated as an EF-0.
00:50Z EF0 KMAF TX Pecos Belding A thunderstorm moved across Pecos County and produced a tornado about 20 miles northwest of Belding. It was described as a rain-wrapped tornado in a rural area. The time on the ground, path length, and path width were estimated. There was no damage reported so the tornado was rated as an EF-0.
