A number of eight to twelve inch diameter trees were snapped or uprooted. The tornado continued to veer to the left moving north-northeast crossing the main highway just one mile west of the main campground and Quanah Parker Lake. It continued to create light tree damage as it moved northeast and before dissipating on the south or east face of Bushman Mountain.No structures were hit, and there were no known injuries to wildlife in the refuge.
