Tornado, which began as waterspout over Galveston Bay, tracked across northern part of Texas City. Tornado struck Chateau Jonon Apartments at 2100 blk. of 25th Ave. north (near Loop 197 and Goddard Park), tearing roof off one building and damaging roofs on several others. Widespread trees and power lines also reported down in Texas City.
Tornado touched down near the intersection of SH 348 and Loop 197 in Texas City. Several businesses were damaged at the initial touchdown. The tornado moved east northeast and eventually crossed the Texas City dike where numerous power poles were knocked down. The tornado continued past the dike and moved into Galveston Bay as a waterspout.
