15:34Z EF0 KHGX TX Harris Bellaire Storm survey showed damage thrown in multiple directions. Numerous witnesses reported swirling debris. One person witnessed a funnel cloud briefly touch down at apartment complex.
18:23Z EF0 KHGX TX Liberty Kevin An EF-0 tornado downed large trees along County Road 3740. There was an eyewitness to the tornado, and a video showed rapidly changing wind speed and direction.
19:55Z EF1 KHGX TX Harris La Porte Muni Arpt This EF-1 tornado was the first of four tornadoes from a parent mesocyclone associated with a large HP supercell that tracked across southeast Harris County and into Chambers County. This small track tornado spun up quickly along the back side of the parent mesocyclone with a track from the north northwest to the south southeast, passing directly over a business and damaging metal industrial buildings from south of Fairmont Parkway to west of Bay Park Road. Cars were pushed and stacked into and on top of each other in the parking lot. A large semi-trailer was slid into several vehicles. There was significant roof damage to a large storage facility before the tornado ended in a small open track of land to the south. Estimated peak winds were 110 mph.
20:00Z EF0 KHGX TX Harris Bayside Terrace This EF-0 tornado is the second brief tornado from the larger mesocyclone associated with a fast moving HP supercell. It began along or just east of Highway 146 near or just south of Main Street and ended at Southern Morgan's Point near the Bay. There was considerable damage to trees and power lines across much of La Porte east of Highway 146. This location made tornado identification difficult as the area also was located within strong south southeasterly inflow winds followed by stronger westerly straight line winds as the first couplet gusted out and a secondary couplet evolved over the Barbours Cut Port Facility. It appears this tornado likely moved across the city roughly from west to east from the same velocity couplet which produced the first brief tornado in Pasadena as it rotated around the larger mesocyclone. Estimated peak winds were 70 to 80 mph.
20:03Z EF1 KHGX TX Harris La Porte This EF-1 was the third brief tornado with the larger mesocyclone associated with the HP supercell which moved across La Porte and Morgans Point. This couplet |was well defined on the Houston Hobby terminal doppler radar which spun up quickly|along the north side of strong westerly outflow winds from the initial couplet that was responsible for two earlier weak tornadoes near and in parts of La Porte. This tornado was witnessed to start near the railroad tracks near Highway 146 and it tracked east southeastward across the Barbours Cut Port Facility and parts of Morgans Point. Much of the more significant damage was to industrial areas around the Port complex. Large steel storage tanks were bent inward from the wind, and many large, metal shipping containers were toppled over. The tornado lifted near the eastern end of Morgans Point near the Ship Channel. Estimated peak winds were around 105 mph.
20:13Z EF1 KLCH TX Tyler Hillister A tornado touched down on both the north and south sides of Lake Charmaine,|blowing multiple trees down. One home had a tree land on it and a tree landed on a SUV. Several homes had minor damage to their siding. The peak winds in the tornado was estimated at 105 MPH. The path was 1.3 miles long and 600 yards wide.
20:25Z EF1 KLCH TX Tyler Hillister Multiple trees were blown down along FM 1013 east of Hillister, on both the|north and south sides of the road. The peak winds in the tornado was estimated at 105 MPH. The path was half a mile long and 300 yards wide.
20:35Z EF0 KHGX TX Chambers Cove This EF-0 tornado was the last of four brief tornadoes from an HP supercell which moved across southeast Harris County and southern Chambers County. This short-lived tornado was confined to the end of Kendall Road along Dutton Lake where there was some small tree damage. The Houston Hobby terminal doppler radar showed a brief couplet at this location, and the tree fall pattern supported this rotation. Estimated peak winds were 75 mph.
21:12Z EF1 KLCH TX Jasper Jasper Piney Wood Ar Several trees were snapped or blown down along FM 1005 near the|intersection with US Hwy 96. The peak winds in the tornado was estimated at 105 MPH. The path was 0.4 mile long and 25 yards wide.
21:34Z EF1 KPOE TX Newton Farrsville Numerous large trees were uprooted or snapped along Highway 63 west|of Farrsville, including County Roads 1012, 1064, and 1065. At least two houses had|trees land on them. The tornado ended along US Highway 87 south of Mayflower, where|a mobile home lost its roof and a couple of large trees were snapped near a church. The peak winds in the tornado was estimated at 110 MPH. The path was 12.2 miles long and 800 yards wide.
00:23Z EF1 KLZK AR Pope Solo There was a report of a rain-wrapped tornado on Gunter Mountain Road west northwest of Hector. Mainly tree damage was noted in remote Pope County. No structures were affected. Trained spotters and Pope county deputies reported a very brief touchdown.
01:11Z EF2 KPOE LA Allen Oakdale A tornado touched down on the south side of Oakdale by the Wal-Mart, damaging the gas station canopy. The storm moved northeast, crossing Highway 165 and moved through Oakdale, blowing down or snapping numerous large trees. Some trees landed on homes and businesses. Some buildings received roof damage from the tornado. The strongest wind damage occurred at the Immigration Office of the Federal Department of Homeland Security, where a large section of the metal roof was removed. The tornado dissipated a little north of this location. The maximum winds were estimated at 115 MPH. The tornado was 100 yards wide and 3.57 mile long.
04:00Z EF1 KLSX MO Dent Short Bend A NWS storm survey found an EF-1 rated tornado touched down in the Short Bend area of northeastern Dent County or about nine miles northeast of Salem, Missouri. Maximum winds were estimated to be up to 100 mph and a path length or 2.5 miles. There was minor damage to several homes and cabins. One roof was completely destroyed. A damaged barn was moved off the foundation. Numerous trees were uprooted or snapped along the path.
04:23Z EF1 KPOE MS Wilkinson Laneheart An EF1 tornado touched down just west of Fords Creek Road and tracked east northeast, crossing US Highway 61 with the path ending east of Hackett Ford Road. Numerous trees were uprooted or snapped in the path. Five homes were damaged, primarily by falling trees. A commercial building had its doors blown in and a wall was heavily damaged. A recreational vehicle was also blown over. Damage path was approximately 2 miles, maximum path width 450 yards. Estimated maximum wind speed 105 mph.
10:32Z EF0 KLIX MS Lamar Baxterville A weak and brief tornado touched down just west of Tatum Salt Dome Road and tracked east-northeast for about one and a half miles. As it crossed Tatum Salt Dome Road, property was damaged on both sides. Damage was mainly in the form of metal roofs being blown off of three sheds and a barn destroyed. A mobile home also had a large section of the metal roof blown off. Three instances of this roof damage, the tin was blown to the northwest, indicating rotation from a weak tornado. Additionally, many large limbs were broken along the path with a dozen or more trees uprooted across the property east of Tatum Salt Dome Road. Maximum wind gusts were estimated to be 75 mph based on the surveyed damage.
