Tornado Outbreak of March 1-2, 2007 Beginning midday on March 1, 2007 and continuing into the early morning hours of March 2nd, the National Weather Service Weather Forecast Office in Tallahassee, Florida issued 57 warnings, of which 35 were tornado warnings. Nine tornadoes were reported across the WFO Tallahassee County Warning Area. Warnings were issued for two deadly tornadoes, which caused 15 fatalities; nine in Enterprise, Alabama, and six just north of Newton, Georgia. Injuries from the tornado outbreak totaled 61. Preliminary damage was estimated at $270 million dollars. The deadliest tornado was the first of the outbreak. A tornado warning was issued at 1847 UTC (12:47 PM CST) for Coffee County including the city of Enterprise, Alabama. A NWS storm survey team determined that an EF-4 (Enhanced-Fujita Tornado Scale rating) tornado with wind speeds estimated between 165 and 175 mph touched down in Enterprise 18 minutes later at 1905 UTC (1:05 PM CST). The tornado was first observed on the ground just south of the Enterprise Municipal Airport. About five minutes later, after briefly lifting, it slammed into the Enterprise High School. Eight students were killed when a concrete wall collapsed on them. The football stadium was severely damaged. A nearby elementary school was nearly destroyed. Downtown Enterprise and areas to the northeast, where an elderly woman was killed, was also hard hit with damage to numerous homes. Many streets were blocked by debris and downed utility poles. The tornado path was 10 miles long. The maximum damage width was approximately 500 yards. Fifty people were injured. Damage was estimated at $250 million dollars. The same parent supercell thunderstorm spawned an EF-1 tornado southwest of Echo, Alabama in Dale County at 1948 UTC (1:48 PM CST) and traveled 38 miles to the northeast across Henry County, Alabama, and Clay and Quitman counties in southwest Georgia before it lifted at 2038 UTC (3:38 PM EST). The maximum damage width was approximately 150 yards. Over 100 homes were damaged or destroyed. The tornado also destroyed 18 chicken houses and killed 140,000 chickens near Echo (see picture below). Damage was estimated at nearly $14 million. Six people were injured when the tornado damaged their mobile homes.

The second deadly tornado, an EF-2, touched down in northern Baker County, Georgia at 0444 UTC (11:44 PM EST). A tornado warning was issued at 0438 UTC (11:38 PM EST) for Baker County including the city of Newton, Georgia (see map below, labeled as Tornado #1). It caused extensive damage to a mobile home park a mile north of Newton. Six people died and three were injured when their mobile homes were demolished by the

tornado. The tornado then moved into northern Mitchell County near Baconton, Georgia, and damaged or destroyed nearly 50 homes and 13 businesses. It continued its northeast track into southeastern Dougherty and western Worth counties and damaged two dozen homes before it lifted at 0517 UTC (12:17 AM EST). The damage path was nearly 26 miles long and approximately 200 yards wide. Damage was estimated at $4 million dollars.

Two additional EF-2 tornadoes spawned from the same supercell thunderstorm touched down in Worth County between 0520 and 0535 UTC (12:20 and 12:35 AM EST). Each of the damage paths were three to four miles long and 150 to 200 yards wide. Several homes were damaged or destroyed. Two persons were injured when their home was flattened. The last of the Georgia tornadoes was an EF-1 tornado, which touched down in northwestern Tift County at 0542 UTC (12:42 AM EST). It damaged nearly three dozen homes. It then moved northeast into southeastern Turner County and damaged or destroyed 15 homes and several barns before it lifted at 0552 UTC (12:52 AM EST). The damage path was nearly eight miles long and 150 yards wide. Damage from these tornadoes was estimated at $2 million dollars.

Representatives from the National Weather Service in Birmingham conducted an aerial survey in Winston and Cullman Countiesrelating to storm damage reported during the March 1, 2007 tornado outbreak. It was determined that this damage was caused byan EF-2 tornado on the Enhanced Fujita scale with maximum estimated winds of 110-115 mph. The damage track extended 9.1miles and was a maximum of 100 yards wide, but most of this occurred in Winston County.The track extended less than 3/4 of a mile into extreme western Cullman County, north of County Road 141 and south of theNesmith community. By the time the tornado reached Cullman County, it had weakened to a low-end EF-1 tornado, withestimated winds of 75 mph and a path width of 25 to 50 yards. The tornado was responsible only for tree damage within CullmanCounty before lifting around 3:57 pm CST.

A severe weather outbreak impacted much of the Southeast and lower and middle Mississippi Valleys producing numeroustornadoes, some of which were strong, large hail and damaging winds. However, the central Tennessee Valley was fortunate notto experience the most severe and widespread thunderstorm and tornado activity. Only one short tornado track entered portions ofCullman County during the late afternoon hours.Strong low pressure moved northeast through northern Missouri into northeast Iowa, bringing a potent cold front through thesouthern states. Most severe weather parameters were in place along and ahead of this front, with the most concentrated activityacross central Alabama and along the Gulf Coastal Plain from southern Alabama into much of central and southern Georgia.

A significant tornado first touched down around 1227 pm at State Highway 28 near Miller's Ferry dam. The tornado then trackednortheast across William "Bill" Dannelly Reservoir moving ashore on Sand Island Drive. This is where most of the severe damageoccurred with numerous homes damaged or destroyed.One resident had arrived at his home on the lake to eat lunch when the tornado hit and he was killed when his newer modelmanufactured home was destroyed. The straps holding the home down all snapped in the same place. He was thrown out of hishome and later found in the debris. Neighbors next door had sought shelter in an underground storm shelter outside their houseseconds before the tornado hit. When they safely emerged from the shelter, they found their home destroyed. Most of the homeson Sand Island are vacation homes with part-time residents. If the tornado had struck on the weekend when more people arepresent, the loss of life would likely have been greater.Around 40 homes(four of these were slab homes)were damaged or destroyed along Sand Island Drive with some of the debrisscattered up to two miles downstream. The tornado continued quickly to the northeast through sparsely populated areas. Damagedid occur to homes and hunting camps along this path. However, the damage here was only rated as EF-0 and EF-1 on theEnhanced Fujita Scale. The tornado crossed into Dallas County.In all, one person died and two people were slightly injured by the tornado. The injuries occurred along Sand Island Drive when asingle wide trailer was destroyed with the occupants being thrown from the trailer. They were protected from flying debris by partof the trailer that had fallen on top of them. The highest wind speed of the tornado was estimated at 185 mph. M48MH

Thunderstorm Wind00 3 22Lake Henshaw 01530PSTSan Diego County

A closed low over northern Baja created conditions favorable for the formation of high based convection across southernCalifornia. Thunderstorms initiated over the deserts in the afternoon and then quickly moved westward over the mountains andtowards the coast. An inverted V signature was noted above the 950 mb level on the 00Z KNKX sounding that afternoon,indicative of the potential for thunderstorms to produce microbursts. Three elderly fishermen drowned after their overloaded,12-foot motorboat capsized on Lake Henshaw while trying to outrun an approaching thunderstorm. Eyewitness accounts andobservations support the idea that this thunderstorm may have produced a minor, sub-severe microburst. This was probably all thatwas needed to capsize the small, overloaded boat. A friend of the fishermen was the first to notice the capsized boat, however hedid not actually see the boat flip over. It is still not completely known if the boat capsized before or after the thunderstorm movedacross the lake. M63BO, M58BO, M?BO

Although the Fullerton airport ASOS only measured a 30 mph wind gust with this storm, other Meteorological observations inconjuction with damage and spotter reports indicate that wind gusts with this microburst were likely in excess of 45 mph. There isnot sufficient evidence however to suggest that this microburst was severe, especially given that property damage was veryisolated and may have resulted from the use of poor construction materials.

Strong post-frontal flow combined with a 130 kt jet aloft and an upper level low over Nevada resulted in strong onshore flow andisolated thunderstorms. A thunderstorm over Fullerton airport produced a damaging microburst that removed a large section ofroof laminate from the Orange County Fire Authority's aviation building. Pieces of the roof landed on four cars. A 60 ft eucalyptustree fell onto 3 cars in Encinitas and caused 2 minor injuries. Island band convection produced a funnel cloud off the La Jollacoast.

Three people were on a backcountry ski vacation near Aspen. They chose to ascend Mount Shimer about 7 miles southeast ofAspen. They were ascending a tree covered, north facing slope near the 12,088 foot level. At approximately 1:50 pm, the leadskier remotely triggered a large avalanche in the bowl to the east. Just after this, a smaller avalanche fractured above the party. Theavalanche caught all three, but the upper skier was only carried for approximately 100 feet. The avalanche swept the two lowermen on split snowboards down the slope and buried both. The victims were buried, one above the other with about 100 feetbetween them. The upper skier found his two companions and uncovered debris from their heads and notified rescue personnel.When rescue personnel arrived on the scene, they determined that both victims were dead.

A seasonally strong low pressure system lifted northeast from northern Kansas to extreme western Iowa, on March 31, 2007. Awarm front moved northward into northeast Iowa followed by a cold front sweeping across eastern Iowa into Illinois. Thesefrontal boundaries triggered thunderstorms, and with sufficient low level wind shear, allowed for many to rotate. Most of thethunderstorms produced large hail and damaging wind.

The tornado damage path began along a country road, then continued northeast over mostly open land for about one-half tothree-quarters of a mile. The path then tracked along or nearly parallel to the same road until reaching the intersection of Highway146. Several witnesses in the area observed a dark funnel bouncing up and down from the storm to the ground. Many trees wereeither uprooted or topped. One tree that landed on a house caused heavy damage and trapped a resident inside. The resident wasfreed from the home uninjured. About 15 to 20 homes received light to moderate roof damage. Several articles of debris werelodged from 20 to 50 feet up in the trees. There was some evidence of convergent damage based on how trees were blown down.Given the rapid storm speed of 50 to 60 MPH, all of the damage occurred in about two minutes. Peak winds were estimated near75 MPH, resulting in a rating of EF (Enhanced Fujita) 0.

Very warm temperatures moved into Iowa during the previous several days. High temperatures warmed into the 50s and 60sacross snow covered areas. This caused considerable snow melt, leading to flooding along area rivers. Many of the riversremained ice covered as the water rose. Ice broke free and began flowing down the river during the night of the 13th into the dayon the 14th. Flash flooding in Webster, Emmet and Dallas Counties. An ice jam on the Des Moines River in Webster Countynorth of Fort Dodge caused rapid rises on the river. Flooding and chunks of ice damaged 20 to 30 homes in the Fort Dodge area.Several vehicles were also damaged. Later in the morning, an ice jam on the Lizard Creek caused flash flooding in the Fort Dodgearea. A vehicle was swept off the road and the driver needed to be rescued from the flood waters. An ice jam in Emmet County,near Estherville, on the Des Moines River caused flash flooding along the Des Moines River. The flooding had minor impact, butdid result in water over roads. Flash flooding was also reported on the Raccoon River near Adel in Dallas County. This was alsocaused by ice jamming. Damage was relatively minor. Several roads were closed in the area, including U.S. Highway 169.

A broad southwesterly flow was in place over Iowa as low pressure developed over the High Plains. Strong theta-e advectiontook place over the CWA overnight and into the morning hours. South winds of 50 kts at 925 mb to the southwest of Iowa pushedinto 35 kt winds over Iowa, while at 850 mb 45 kt winds to the southwest of Iowa converged into 30 kt winds over Iowa.Thunderstorms developed early in the morning with the environment favorable for elevated convection. Surface based liftedindices were in the +2 to +6 C. range, however the Showalter indices were in the -4 to -6 C. range. Zero to 6 km shear was in the30-40 kt range with most unstable CAPE between 500 and 1500 J/kg. CAPE in the -10 to -30 layer was quite high, in the 200 to400 J/kg range. Freezing levels were in the 11,000 to 12,000 foot range. Many of the thunderstorms produced hail. They becamesevere as the approached central Iowa and produced hail up to golf ball size in the Des Moines area. A cluster of severethunderstorms continued across central Iowa and advanced into Marshall and Story Counties before weakening around mid day.

During the day, south winds drew moisture north into the state as a warm front lifted north across the area. By evening, lowpressure lifted north along a cold front to the west of the state. The cold front advanced into the state during the evening.Convection was limited during the afternoon due to a mid level cap and considerable low level cloudiness. Still, the atmospherebecame quite unstable by the evening hours. Surface temperatures rose to the mid 60s to mid 70s across the CWA with dewpoints rising into the upper 50s to low 60s. Effective shear was in the 30 to 45 kt range with most unstable CAPE values in the1000 to 2000 J/kg range. Lifted indices fell to the -3 to -6 C. range by evening. As was the case during the morning, freezinglevels were in the 11,000 to 12,000 foot range. CAPE in the -10 to -30 C. layer was around 200 J/kg. Thunderstorms developedjust ahead of the cold front on the west edge of the mid level cap before sunset. The storms took on a linear configuration as themoved into the state. There were two stronger areas along the line. The first was across the northern part of the state, the secondalong the southern two tiers of counties. Most of the storms produced hail with most reports around an inch in diameter or less.The southern part of the line took on more of a bow echo appearance and began to produce high winds. Wind gusts to near 60MPH in Bedford in Taylor County, and in the 50 to 60 MPH range northwest of Lamoni in Decatur County. One tornado toucheddown in Wayne County. The tornado had an intermittent track, touching down southwest of the town of Sewal and dissipatingabout a mile northeast of town. Damage was done to buildings on the south side of the town. The tornado was rated an EF0, withwinds of 80-85 MPH. The tornado broke apart east of Sewal with a band of downburst winds of up to 80 MPH extending acrossthe county line into Appanoose County.

A large area of thunderstorms lifted north across Iowa during the day on the 24th. The storms were north of a warm frontalboundary in an area of strong warm air advection. The atmosphere was tropical in the sense that the sounding was nearlysaturated through the column. One storm became quite strong, but remained below severe levels for several hours as it trackedfrom west central into north central Iowa. The storm became severe as it moved across Franklin County. In Franklin County, amicroburst took place in the Hansell area. Winds were estimated near 100 MPH with considerable damage in the area. Powerpoles were blown down, several hog containment buildings were destroyed, and one machine shed was destroyed. Sheet metalwas blown downwind 3 to 4 miles.

An intense low pressure lifted out of the south central U.S. into western Iowa during the afternoon hours of the 31st. The upperlow virtually captured the surface system by late afternoon. Thunderstorms formed along two boundaries. The first was a warmfrontal boundary that lifted into central Iowa by early afternoon. The second was a strong dryline that advanced into southwestand central Iowa by the late afternoon hours. With the steep lapse rates, there was little in the way of CIN and once the cloudsbegan to break. Surface Based CAPE was in the 1000-2000 J/kg range with CAPE in the -10 to -30 C. layer around 200 J/kg.The freezing level was quite low, ranging from 8,700 to 10,000 feet across the CWA. Lifted indices fell to the -6 to -9 C. range bythe mid afternoon hours. In spite of the LCL being quite low, in the 500 to 1000 meter range, there were several reports offunnels, but no confirmed touchdowns. Thunderstorms formed in two lines. The first was along the warm front across centralIowa. The second along the dryline. There were numerous reports of pea to marble size hail and surprisingly few reports of largerhail. The hail that did fall was in the three quarter to one inch diameter range. One inch diameter hail covered the ground inDavis County at Bloomfield. Some damage was done to vinyl siding in the city of Bloomfield as well. A few of the stormsproduced high winds with tree damage and some building damage. A roof was blown off a shed in Polk County in Pleasant Hill.

A short wave trough moving through central Iowa developed a cluster of strong to marginally severe thunderstorms that movedacross eastern Iowa and extreme northwest Illinois. These storms formed south of a warm front that was lifting northward acrossnorthern Iowa and extreme southern Wisconsin. Just enough surface heating, combined with rapid moistening in the low levels,and large-scale ascent from the upper level trough, triggered the thunderstorms. Most of the storms produced pea size hail, with acouple reports of penny size hail.

This tornado began 5.4 miles north of Delaware, in Delaware county, at about 429 pm CST, and crossed into Clayton county 6miles east of Edgewood at approximately 437 pm CST. The tornado was rated EF1 (NWS storm survey team), movednorth-northeast at 50 mph, and had a total path length of 10 miles and was 200 yards wide. The tornado struck eight farmsteads inDelaware county, producing mostly minor damage to outbuildings and trees. However, at a farm southeast of Greeley, EF1damage occurred with winds estimated at 81 mph. A dairy barn collapsed, trapping two people that were milking cows under thedebris. They were rescued unharmed, but 24 cows were killed. A two-car garage was completely blown off its foundation, but thehouse next to it had little damage. An eyewitness just southwest of this farmstead reported seeing rotation in the clouds as itdescended and struck the dairy barn. Near the Delaware-Clayton county line, a narrow swath of considerable tree damage wasnoted, with debris carried up a hillside and spread across a road. Path length in Delaware county was more than 7 miles, anddamage was estimated at $162,000.

A seasonally strong low pressure system lifted northeast from northern Kansas to extreme western Iowa, on March 31, 2007. Awarm front moved northward into northeast Iowa followed by a cold front sweeping across eastern Iowa into Illinois. Thesefrontal boundaries triggered thunderstorms, and with sufficient low level wind shear, allowed for many to rotate. Most of thethunderstorms produced large hail and damaging wind. However, one storm in particular that crossed over the warm front,produced an EF1 tornado in Delaware county, in northeast Iowa, at about 429 pm CST. The tornado tracked NNE for a total ofabout 10 miles (part of this track was in Clayton county) and was 200 yards wide, striking eight farmsteads in Delaware county.No one was killed or injured, however 24 cows were killed when a dairy barn collapsed.

The first two tornadoes of 2007 in northeast Iowa hit a couple of farms, damaging buildings and trees. In addition, the public andlaw enforcement officials reported hail the size of quarters, along with thunderstorm wind gusts estimated between 60 to 65 mph.

New snowfall of 7 to 12 inches beginning early morning on March 1st and continuing into the night of March 2nd wasaccompanied by sustained winds of over 30 mph at times with gusts over 40 mph. The combination of new snow, wind, and analready existing fresh snow cover resulted in a blizzard with widespread near zero visibilities. Drifting snow with the storm helpedmake travel impossible to extremely difficult. As a result, some who did attempt to travel became stuck or slid off roads. Schoolsand school activities were cancelled and numerous businesses closed. The blizzard conditions abated early on the morning ofMarch 3rd.

IOWA, SouthwestA compact upper low pressure system tracked across eastern Nebraska and western Iowa early in the afternoon on 3/31/07. Justahead of this system, from extreme eastern Nebraska into western Iowa, partial sunshine allowed temperatures to climb to around70 degrees with dewpoints in the 50s, while a bit farther to the west in the Columbus and Norfolk areas, readings were in the 40s.The contrast in temperatures and dynamics from the upper low helped kick off severe thunderstorms across the area, including atleast one short-lived tornado west of Herman, Nebraska.

An extreme amount of rain fell in a short period of time, 4 inches in only one hour, during a thunderstorm that became stationaryover Clinton Township. Rain fell so fast that sewers were unable to handle the water flow and flash flooding ensued. Water wasthree to four feet deep in some spots, flooding multiple homes and swamping cars up to their windows. It was estimated that 100homes suffered some type of water damage, with at least 30 homes flooded by at least 2 feet of water. Multiple roads becameimpassable from the flooding and had to be closed off. Lifelong residents reported the flooding to be by far the worst they hadever witnessed. This was also not considered a flood plain, thus nearly all residents were without flood insurance. Total monetarydamages attributed to the flooding were estimated at roughly $300K.

A slow southward moving cold front stalled out just south of the I69 corridor. South of this front, well above normal temperaturesand an unseasonably moist airmass resulted in a moderately unstable atmosphere. This set the stage for slow moving pulse likethunderstorms to produce large hail and very heavy rain. This was a marginal severe weather event with most of the hail reportscoming out of Macomb County. This event also caused flash flooding in Chesterfield Township, after a thunderstorm becamestationary and led to an extended period of heavy rain. Numerous homes were flooded with up to 3 feet of water.

Several large tree limbs were blown down 2 miles south of Benton Harbor.

The combination of new snow, wind, and analready existing fresh snow cover resulted in a blizzard with widespread near zero visibilities. Drifting snow with the storm helpedmake travel impossible to extremely difficult. As a result, some who did attempt to travel became stuck or slid off roads. Schoolsand school activities were cancelled and numerous businesses closed. Power outages were reported as the heavy snow and strongwinds brought down power lines. Roofs on several machine sheds and a few barns collapsed under the weight of the heavy snowin the Tyler area, with some damage to farm machinery resulting.

A compact upper low pressure system tracked across eastern Nebraska and western Iowa early in the afternoon on 3/31/07. Justahead of this system, from extreme eastern Nebraska into western Iowa, partial sunshine allowed temperatures to climb to around70 degrees with dewpoints in the 50s, while a bit farther to the west in the Columbus and Norfolk areas, readings were in the 40s.The contrast in temperatures and dynamics from the upper low helped kick off severe thunderstorms across the area, including atleast one short-lived tornado west of Herman, Nebraska.

New snowfall of 1 to 5 inches beginning early morning on March 1st and continuing into the night of March 2nd wasaccompanied by sustained winds of over 30 mph at times with gusts over 40 mph. The combination of new snow, wind, and analready existing fresh snow cover resulted in a blizzard with widespread near zero visibilities. Drifting snow with the storm helpedmake travel impossible to extremely difficult. As a result, some who did attempt to travel became stuck or slid off roads. Schoolsand school activities were cancelled and numerous businesses closed. The blizzard conditions abated early on the morning ofMarch 3rd.

The episode was characterized by a slow moving upper level low that producedstrong speed shear but nearly uniform southerly directional flow aloft across the eastern and southeastern sections of the state.Storms with large hail developed first during early and mid afternoon from near Roswell north to Tucumcari. Towards lateafternoon and early evening as storms migrated north northeast they encountered an increasing but shallow easterly surface flowthat enhanced low level shear resulting in brief but shallow tornadoes. Multiple small but elevated vortices were observedcirculating around well defined wall clouds with occasional spin downs into brief tornadoes.

An upper level storm system moved east across northern Mexico across west Texas and southeastern New Mexico. Ahead of thissystem, a moist and unstable airmass was in place. As temperatures warmed throughout the day, the atmosphere became moreunstable. Storms initiated in the Big Bend and across the mountains of southeastern New Mexico and moved north and eastward. The Midland county warning area saw five recorded tornadoes on the 23rd, four in New Mexico and one in Texas. The four inNew Mexico were documented by both trained Skywarn spotters and by a National Weather Service damage survey team. Thetornado in Texas was recorded by a television news/weather crew in the area. Baseball size hail was also associated with the Texasstorm.

At 4:32 pm MDT, a trained Skywarn spotter, reported a tornado touchdown with a small debris cloud approximately 12 milesWSW of Lovington. At 4:36 pm MDT, trained spotters viewed the same tornado from N.M. Highway 457 looking southward.Damage survey interviews with officials and residents revealed that the brief tornado remained over open pasture lands. An EF0rating was assigned to this tornado.

At 4:50 pm MDT, spotters indicated the presence of two wall clouds. Primary indications are that the new wall cloud spawned asecond tornado with the supercell thunderstorm 7 1/2 miles west of the community of McDonald, just south of Lea County Road147. Survey of damage along county road 147 led to an estimation of tornado width of 50 yards at this point. The tornado continued to intensify as it moved northeast. Significant damage was seen 7 1/2 miles southwest of Tatum overranchland. At this location, 13 wooden power poles were damaged, three snapped off at ground level and others snapped three totwelve feet above ground. A water trough weighing an estimated 300 pounds was thrown from the tornado for several hundredfeet. The tornado was visually estimated to be a half mile in width and described as "clean" in appearance. Damage along thistrack supports this estimate. It is believed that this tornado lifted just south of N.M. Highway 380, six and a half miles west ofTatum. Spotters also confirmed that the tornado exhibited multiple vortex structure at times during its life cycle.

Around 12:30 pm MDT on Friday, March 23, thunderstorms began to develop over the Guadalupe Mountains of Eddy County.Thunderstorms continued to rapidly develop, becoming severe over portions of Eddy County at 1:45 pm MDT. Thunderstormsalso were developing over eastern portions of Culberson County during this time and these thunderstorms would eventually affectLea County later in the afternoon.At 3:39 pm MDT, a thunderstorm located in western portions of Lea County just northwest of the community of Halfway began toexhibit supercellular characteristics. This prompted the issuance of a Severe Thunderstorm Warning at 3:42 pm MDT for westernportions of Lea county. As the supercell thunderstorm moved northeast at 30 mph, the storm continued to intensify. The presenceon radar of an intensifying mesocyclone (storm rotation) and a bounded weak echo region, along with key spotter informationrelayed into our office through amateur radio Net Control Operations prompted an upgrade to a tornado warning. Spottersindicated a developing wall cloud over the area had become "fully formed" with increasing surface wind inflow. A tornadowarning was issued for northern portions of Lea County at 4:28 pm MDT.

A weak shortwave progressing through upper level southerly flow combined with instability along an eastward mixing dryline toproduce severe thunderstorms across west Texas and southeastern New Mexico. A strong low level jet and an approaching coldfront increased both instability and lift. Though a tornado watch was issued for much of the Permian Basin and the upper Trans-Pecos, large hail ended up being theprimary threat. No tornadoes were reported with these storms.

An upper level low moving eastward across the Midwest U.S. spawned several supercells as well as short lines of thunderstormsalong a north-south aligned cold front as it crossed the Hill Country and approached the IH-35 corridor. The storms producedheavy rainfall, large hail, and two tornadoes.

A line of very strong thunderstorms approached Lavaca County from the west and developed into a bow-shape just as they crossedthe county line. The storms produced strong winds that blew down trees in a small community known as Williamsburg, about 4miles south of Hallettsville.

The first tornado touched down near 0330 CST at the community of Williamsburg, approximately 4 miles south of Hallettsvillealong US77. It tracked from just west of US77 northward along the highway for almost a mile, crossing the highway anddissipating on the east side of US77. It was difficult to separate severe thunderstorm wind damage which preceded the tornadofrom the tornado damage itself. The tornado destroyed a barn near its initial touchdown with a level of damage indicating windsapproaching 100 mph. This is consistent with NWS Doppler Radar indications of winds at or just above 90 mph in theWilliamsburg area near 0331 CST. Doppler Radar at that time showed a comma-shaped echo with a hint of possible rotation onthe north end of the comma, near Williamsburg. The tornado knocked over trees, with the debris pointed mostly toward the northor east. It also shoved a mobile home toward the east several yards. The tornado was rated an EF-1 on the enhanced Fujita Scalewith winds estimated at 95 to 100 mph. The track was toward the north with a width of 100 yards and a path length ofeight-tenths of a mile.

To the southeast of Hallettsville, and southeast of the first tornado, a second tornado touched down near 0345 CST. This was justoff FM530 on Road 16C, near the community of Light Chapel. This tornado touched down just south of a mobile home andbegan moving toward the northeast. A father, along with two sons and a daughter, had just arrived home less than an hour beforethe touchdown and had fallen asleep when the storm struck. The father reported feeling a jolt that awakened him as severethunderstorm winds ahead of the tornado struck the mobile home. He reported that it became quiet again and then the mobilehome exploded as the tornado stuck. He and his three children were blown and tossed almost 150 feet, coming to rest on the topof the former south wall of his mobile home. Broken glass was everywhere, but, in spite of cuts and bruises, they took shelter in asmall nearby roofless shack as hail continued to fall. He then walked, carrying an injured son and daughter, to a neighbor's houseto call for help. His truck, parked under an awning just south of the mobile home was rolled and crushed. Had he and his childrenarrived only a few minutes later at their home, they could easily have been killed. That all have recovered except for minorbruises and cuts can only be considered a miracle. The father's comments were that "it's all okay - we're okay. What wasdestroyed is just `stuff.' " Based on the destroyed mobile home, which had been tied down, and the rolled and twisted metal frame,the tornado was rated EF-2 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale. Winds were estimated at 115 mph. The tornado path length was placedat four-tenths of a mile with a path width of 75 yards.

TEXAS, South PanhandleAn active round of severe thunderstorms, including damaging tornadoes, affected a large portion of the Southern Plains of theU.S. during the afternoon and evening hours of the 23rd. Supercell thunderstorms with a history of producing deadly tornadoespropagated northeastward from the plains of eastern New Mexico into the extreme southwestern Texas Panhandle and the westernSouth Plains of west Texas during the evening hours. As these storms moved eastward across the state line, convective modestransitioned from classic supercells toward mini-bow segments and line-echo-waves. Despite the linear nature of the storms,extreme wind shear resulted in at least five tornadoes across the western South Plains region.Tornadoes were initially observed in the extreme southwestern Texas Panhandle and the northwestern South Plains around 20:00CST. The hardest hit area was the Bovina vicinity in Parmer County, where a weak tornado struck the city resulting in minorstructural damage. Severe storms producing widespread wind damage and at least one strong tornado then impacted portions of Cochran, southernBailey, and Lamb Counties during the late evening hours. Two cotton gins in Cochran County were severely damaged, and poweroutages were widespread. No injuries were reported during the severe weather outbreak on the 23rd, but property damage estimates totaled more than$400,000.

TEXAS, South PanhandleLubbock County

Flash flooding became widespread over the eastern half of Lubbock county including the city of Lubbock during the eveninghours of the 25th. Heavy rainfall rates in excess of one inch per hour caused flash flooding in many city streets including theintersection of Memphis Street and 93rd Street. A vehicle was stalled along 3rd Street where high water threatened a number ofresidences. Flash flooding also resulted in the closure of U.S. Highway 87 south of Lubbock where several vehicle wereinundated with flood waters. The Lubbock Fire Department conducted a high water rescue at the intersection of 82nd Street andU.S. Highway 87. No serious injuries were reported.

A pre-existing low level boundary, or weak front, was oriented from southwest to northeast across the west Texas South Plainsregion during the midday hours of the 25th. As thunderstorms developed in a very moist atmosphere, this feature became a focusfor the development of at least four landspout tornadoes. Tornadoes initially developed just southeast of Lubbock during theSunday lunch hour. These tornadoes were observed by many Lubbock residents, but only resulted in very minor damage to treesand utility lines. Thunderstorm outflow forced the weak frontal boundary to move northwestward across the central South Plains during theafternoon hours, where it again provided for the development of tornadoes in Swisher and Castro Counties. Thunderstorms quickly evolved to pose a threat of heavy rainfall and flash flooding by the early evening hours. Flash floodingbecame widespread over a large section of the central South Plains, with numerous roadways and highways closed due toflooding. At least six automobile mishaps were attributed to the flooding.

Scatttered severe storms produced large hail, and one report of a funnel cloud. A rotating wall cloud was observed by a trainedspotter about 6 miles west of the Madison State Capitol. Some of the storms that became supercellur displayed moderatemesocyclones in their updraft towers. Synoptically, a warm front stalled over northern Illinois, resulting in sufficient vertical windshear that supported rotating updrafts. However, the depth of the cooler air below the elevated convection prevented actualtornado development.

Reference Notes:

Storm Data Disclosure

Storm Data is an official publication of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)

which documents the occurrence of storms and other significant weather phenomena having sufficient

intensity to cause loss of life, injuries, significant property damage, and/or disruption to commerce. In

addition, it is a partial record of other significant meteorological events, such as record maximum or minimum

temperatures or precipitation that occurs in connection with another event.

Some of the information appearing in Storm Data may have been provided by or gathered from sources

outside the National Weather Service (NWS), such as the media, law enforcement and/or other government

agencies, private companies, individuals, etc. An effort is made to use the best available information, but

because of time and resource constraints, information from these sources may be unverified by the NWS.

Therefore, when using information from Storm Data, customers should be cautious as the NWS does not

guarantee the accuracy or validity of the information. Further, when it is apparent information appearing in

Storm Data originated from a source outside the National Weather Service (frequently credit is provided),

Storm Data customers requiring additional information should contact that source directly. In most cases,

NWS employees will not have the knowledge to respond to such requests. In cases of legal proceedings,

under Department of Commerce regulations and/or rules of the court, NWS employees are not legally

obligated to provide written or verbal testimony.

Fatality Codes: For events that include a fatality, there is a code containing the gender, age and fatality

location at the end of the event narrative.

1st letter: Gender (M/F) – 2nd numbers: Age – 3rd letters Fatality location (see table below)

Example: M51IW – Male, 51 years of age, fatality occurred In Water.

Fatality Location Abbreviations:

BF Ball Field MH Mobile Home

BO Boating OT Other

BU Business OU Outside/Open Areas

CA Camping PH Permanent Home

EQ Heavy Equipment/Construction SC School

GF Golfing TE Telephone

IW In Water UT Under Tree

LS Long Span Roof VE Vehicle

Other Notes:

An “Episode” is an entire storm system and can contain many different types of events.

An “Event” is an individual type of storm event.

When listing wind speed values under “Character of Storm”, ex. High Wind (G81), the G indicates a “Gust”

which is a peak 5-second averaged wind speed in Knots (kts). 1 kt. = 1.152 mph. This number can be either

E (estimated) by damage caused, or M (measured) by known calibrated anemometers. Ex. (M61) = measured

61 knots or E(75) = estimated at 75 knots.

All wind speeds listed are estimated by NWS personnel by the amount and type of damage unless otherwise

noted with an “M” which represents an actual wind speed as measured by official NWS approved

anemometer.

When listing hail size under “Character of Storm”, ex. Hail (2.25), the hail size is given in inches and

hundredths of inches.

When listing property and crop damage, the figures indicated are the best guess made by the NWS from the

available sources of information at the time of the printing.

The fatalities, injuries, and damage amounts appearing in tropical cyclone events are attributed only to wind

damage experienced in the coastal counties/parishes listed. Other tropical cyclone related events such as

tornadoes and flooding are listed within their separate event types.

The Saffir-Simpson Scale

Category One Hurricane:

Winds 74-95 mph (64-82 kt or 119-153 kph). Storm surge generally 4-5 ft above normal. No real damage to

building structures. Damage primarily to unanchored mobile homes, shrubbery, and trees. Some damage to

poorly constructed signs. Also, some coastal road flooding and minor pier damage.

Category Two Hurricane:

Winds 96-110 mph (83-95 kt or 154-177 kph). Storm surge generally 6-8 feet above normal. Some roofing

material,door, and window damage of buildings. Considerable damage to shrubbery and trees with some trees

blown down. Considerable damage to mobile homes, poorly constructed signs, and piers. Coastal and low-

lying escape routes flood 2-4 hours before arrival of the hurricane center. Small craft in unprotected

anchorages break moorings.

Category Three Hurricane:

Winds 111-130 mph (96-113 kt or 178-209 kph). Storm surge generally 9-12 ft above normal. Some structural

damage to small residences and utility buildings with a minor amount of curtainwall failures. Damage to

shrubbery and trees with foliage blown off trees and large tress blown down. Mobile homes and poorly

constructed signs are destroyed. Low-lying escape routes are cut by rising water 3-5 hours before arrival of

the hurricane center. Flooding near the coast destroys smaller structures with larger structures damaged by

battering of floating debris. Terrain continuously lower than 5 ft above mean sea level may be flooded inland

8 miles (13 km) or more. Evacuation of low-lying residences with several blocks of the shoreline may be

required.

Category Four Hurricane:

Winds 131-155 mph (114-135 kt or 210-249 kph). Storm surge generally 13-18 ft above normal. More

extensive curtainwall failures with some complete roof structure failures on small residences. Shrubs, trees,

and all signs are blown down. Complete destruction of mobile homes. Extensive damage to doors and

windows. Low-lying escape routes may be cut by rising water 3-5 hours before arrival of the hurricane center.

Major damage to lower floors of structures near the shore. Terrain lower than 10 ft above sea level may be

flooded requiring massive evacuation of residential areas as far inland as 6 miles (10 km).

Category Five Hurricane:

Winds greater than 155 mph (135 kt or 249 kph). Storm surge generally greater than 18 ft above normal.

Complete roof failure on many residences and industrial buildings. Some complete building failures with

small utility buildings blown over or away. All shrubs, trees, and signs blown down. Complete destruction

of mobile homes. Severe and extensive window and door damage. Low-lying escape routes are cut by rising

water 3-5 hours before arrival of the hurricane center. Major damage to lower floors of all structures located

less than 15 ft above sea level and within 500 yards of the shoreline. Massive evacuation of residential areas

on low ground within 5-10 miles (8-16 km) of the shoreline may be required.

Typical F0 Tornado Damage

Note the trees are stripped of leaves, but thetrees remain standing. Only light roof damageand a few missing shingles.

Typical F1 Tornado Damage

Note the uprooted trees and missing shinglesfrom the roof. There is significant roofdamage.

The Fujita Scale

F-Scale Intensity Wind Speed(mph)

Typical Damage (Suggested)

F0 Gale Tornado 40 - 72 Tree branches broken, chimneys damaged, shallow-rooted treespushed over; sign boards damaged or destroyed, outbuildings andsheds destroyed

F1 Moderate 73 - 112 Roof surfaces peeled off, mobile homes pushed off foundations oroverturned, moving autos pushed off the roads, garages may bedestroyed.

Category 1-2 hurricane wind speed

F2 Significant 113 - 157 Roofs blown off frame houses; mobile homes rolled and/ordestroyed, train boxcars pushed over; large trees snapped oruprooted; airborn debris can cause damage.

Category 3-4 hurricane wind speed

F3 Severe 158 - 206 Roofs and walls torn off well constructed houses; trains overturned;large trees uprooted, can knock down entire forest of trees.

Category 5 hurricane wind speed

F4 Devastating 207 - 260 Well-constructed frame houses leveled; structures with weakfoundations blown off some distance; automobiles thrown, largeairborn objects can cause significant damage.

F5 Incredible 261 - 318 Brick, stone and cinderblock buildings destroyed, most debris iscarried away by tornadic winds, large and heavy objects can behurled in excess of 100 meters, trees debarked, asphalt peeled off ofroads, steel reinforced concrete structures badly damaged.

F6 Inconceivable 319 - 379 These winds are very unlikely. The small area of damage they mightproduce would probably not be recognizable along with the damageproduced by F4 and F5 wind speeds that would surround the F6winds.
