This tornado likely continued on at least a little farther downstream from this spot, but access downstream was very limited for several miles and thus the official end point of the tornado is at the crossing of FM 31 South. A few small trees were snapped at the start point of the tornado, but at FM 31 South, there were at least 10 large pine trees that were snapped or uprooted with noted signs of damage convergence. The estimated tornado path was just to the north of a residence and no real structural damage was observed. |
