20:55Z EFU KAMA TX Castro Nazareth A storm chaser documented a brief tornado southwest of Nazareth.
21:15Z EF1 KAMA TX Swisher Happy This is the beginning of an eventual wide and long tracked tornado that eventually moved into Randall County (WFO Amarillo). The tornado began on ranch land west-southwest of Happy and damaged mainly power poles and a few structures as it moved northeast.
21:26Z EF2 KAMA TX Randall Buffalo Lake This tornado was a continuation from Swisher County. The tornado damaged numerous electrical transmission lines with power poles snapped along the path. Several homes sustained significant roof damage. One home lost large sections of roof |decking material and this together with a collapsed cell phone |tower led to an EF2 rating. Otherwise, damage to power poles, out |buildings, trees, and fencing suggested EF0 to EF1 ratings along |the tornado path. This tornado handed off to a new tornado - the |Palo Duro Canyon to Washburn tornado - just east of its path and |both tornadoes occurred simultaneously for several minutes before |the first tornado dissipated.
21:31Z EF1 KAMA TX Randall Canyon A brief secondary tornado was documented by storm chasers and|residents in the area with video and photographs. This tornado|was just north of the main tornado and appears to have been quickly|absorbed by the larger circulation. The tornado damaged a barn and|several power lines along its short track.
21:37Z EF1 KAMA TX Randall Canyon This satellite tornado occurred south of the main large tornado that was ongoing at the time. Radar and chaser reports/video suggest it was an anticyclonic tornado that occurred on the southern edge of the storms rear flank downdraft. A brief radar debris signature was noted after the tornado crossed he interstate. The tornado snapped power poles along I-27, south of the main tornado track, but no other notable damage occurred as it remained in open ranch and grassland country otherwise.
21:48Z EF1 KAMA TX Randall Palo Duro Canyon State Park The original tornado - Happy to Palo Duro Canyon - associated with this tornado's parent supercell handed off to this second major tornado. Storm chaser video and damage patterns suggest the tornado was either multi-vortex or that multiple satellites may have occurred. Both the original and newly developing tornadoes were briefly on the ground simultaneously. This tornado was narrow initially and possibly consisted of multiple cones as it damaged camp grounds around the rim of Palo Duro State Park. One cabin sustained EF1 damage as its roof was completely removed. A porch likely caught the wind and aided in the damage of the roof, which is why this tornado was not rated higher. Several travel trailers were flipped and one was destroyed at another campground, but none of these trailers were anchored. Minor damage occurred to weaker structures at the state park entrance and there was notable tree damage as well. The tornado crossed the canyon and grew large on the east side, but remained in very rural country. Another rapid and complicated tornado handoff to the Palo Duro Canyon to Washburn tornado occurred east of the canyon around the Randall/Armstrong County line near the intersection of 1258 and Goathead Road as a new circulation took over.
21:54Z EF0 KLBB TX Castro Hart This short-lived EF-0 tornado touched down in a farm field just north of Hart flipping a center pivot irrigation system and creating minor roof damage to a small outbuilding. A wind gust of 87 mph was recorded at the Texas Tech West Texas mesonet location north of Hart as this tornado passed nearby.
21:55Z EFU KAMA TX Castro Nazareth A storm chaser video revealed a brief tornado southeast of Nazareth over open land. No damage was known.
22:04Z EF1 KAMA TX Armstrong Washburn This is a continuation of a tornado that started in Randall County. After crossing Palo Duro Canyon and the county line, the tornado stayed in open county and did minimal damage. It performed another rapid and complicated tornado handoff to the Palo Duro Canyon to Washburn tornado very close to the county line near the intersection of 1258 and Goathead Road as a new circulation took over.
22:05Z EF0 KAMA TX Swisher Happy This EF-0 tornado was video recorded by storm chasers over rural areas of Swisher County east of Happy. The only damage observed were two broken power poles near the intersection of County Road B and County Road 16. This tornado crossed into Randall|County, where it was surveyed by WFO Amarillo.
22:06Z EF0 KAMA TX Randall Palo Duro Canyon State Park The supercell underwent another odd handoff from the Palo Duro Canyon tornado near Highway 1258 which was documented by storm chasers in the area. Again, both the initial and new developing tornado co-existed for a period of time creating a wide damage path Near County Road 1 in Armstrong County. This tornado path remained in very rural country with few damage indicators and was likely stronger than suggested by the very limited rating. Along the path the tornado snapped a few small diameter power poles and destroyed a couple out buildings. It also pushed over a semi before it dissipated just north of Highway 287.
22:08Z EF0 KAMA TX Randall Palo Duro Canyon State Park This tornado was photographed by storm chasers positioned east of the area as it crossed the Swisher county line into Randall County. No damaged was observed and the tornado lifted relatively quickly.
22:12Z EF0 KAMA TX Armstrong Washburn Continuation from a tornado that started in Randall County. The supercell underwent another odd handoff from the Palo Duro Canyon tornado near Highway 1258 which was documented by storm chasers in the area. Again, both the initial and new developing tornado co-existed for a period of time creating a wide damage path Near County Road 1 in Armstrong County. This tornado path remained in very rural country with few damage indicators and was likely stronger than suggested by the very limited rating. Along the path the tornado snapped a few small diameter power poles and destroyed a couple out buildings. It also pushed over a semi before it dissipated just north of Highway 287.
22:21Z EFU KLBB TX Hale Furguson Sta A storm chaser photographed a brief tornado to the south of Plainview in an open field.
22:46Z EFU KLBB TX Hale Seth Ward A storm chaser photographed a brief tornado northwest of the intersection of Farm to Market Road 2286 and County Road 77.
23:02Z EFU KAMA TX Armstrong Goodnight The track of this tornado is not accessible by road, but was noted on radar and documented by storm chasers in the area.
23:08Z EFU KAMA TX Briscoe Silverton A storm chaser photographed a brief tornado about two miles southwest of Silverton in an open field.
23:48Z EF2 KAMA TX Donley Clarendon A tornado touched down on the southwest side of Clarendon, continuing through Greenbelt Reservoir before dissipating northeast of Howardwick. Minor damage to homes and Clarendon College was observed on the west side of Clarendon. The tornado took on a wider path and strengthened as it progressed toward Greenbelt Reservoir causing considerable damage to mobile homes, recreational vehicles, and boating facilities. In addition, several power poles of varying sizes were downed and many trees were snapped in the area.
23:51Z EF0 KAMA TX Donley Clarendon A brief tornado occurred on the western side of the city of Clarendon. This tornado was rain wrapped, but was observed by several chasers in the area. The tornado produced damage consistent with 80 to 85 mph winds, damaging several homes, trees, and sheds. Approximately 10 homes suffered shingle damage to roofs, while multiple trees were downed. Near the narrow path of this tornado, straight line winds caused damage to a scoreboard at a nearby baseball field.
01:41Z EFU KFDR TX Hardeman Lazare Storm chasers observed a brief tornado in western Hardeman County, estimated to be approximately 2 miles east of Lazare. No damage is known to have occurred.
02:00Z EFU KFDR TX Hardeman Goodlett A spotter reported a brief tornado developed approximately 3 miles north of Goodlett. No damage was reported.
02:15Z EF0 KFDR OK Jackson Eldorado Two independent storm chasers reported a brief tornado estimated to have been approximately 7 miles west-northwest of El Dorado.
02:29Z EFU KFDR OK Harmon Mc Queen A storm chaser observed a brief tornado estimated to have been about 6 miles south of McQueen OK. Power flashes were observed with this tornado, but no reports of tree or structure damage were received.
02:49Z EF1 KFDR OK Greer Reed A tornado developed near the community of Russell, and moved north-northeast. A shed was destroyed, two tractors damaged and the porch of a house was damaged at one farm, and two sheds were destroyed at another farm. Some of the debris was scattered for 1.5 miles.
03:22Z EF2 KDDC KS Gray Haggard The thunderstorm that produced this NNW moving tornado became surface based as it moved across the surface warm front. Surface temperatures at the time may have been around 50 degrees. That is pretty unusual for this part of the world at night in March.
