EF1 tornado in Montague County, Texas

The tornado began on the north side of Lake Amon G. Carter along Hanging Tree Rd. where damage was found to multiple small barns and farm outbuildings, roof damage to several single family homes in the area, and tree damage resulting in snapped tree trunks and large broken limbs. A partially full water tank was transported from Hanging Tree Rd to Farm to Market Road 2583 as the storm continued east-northeast. As the tornado moved northeast of the lake to Timber Oaks Ct. it caused heavy damage to a farm outbuilding where the roof was lifted and multiple walls collapsed. The tornado is believed to have lifted after crossing Elgin Road. Maximum estimated winds were 95 mph.

A strong shortwave trough aided in the development of scattered to numerous thunderstorms during the late morning, afternoon, and evening hours of March 21. Thunderstorms initially fired along a dryline, many of which became severe, and some of which produced strong tornadoes. A total of 17 tornadoes were confirmed by storm survey teams, the strongest of which was the EF-3 Jacksboro tornado. One death occurred in a tornado in Grayson County near the Red River.
