EF0 tornado in Tarrant County, Texas

Damage survey, surveillance video, and CASA radar data confirm that a brief EF0 tornado passed across the Dutch Branch arm of Lake Benbrook at approximately 5:31 p.m. CDT on March 21, 2022. The tornado appeared to develop within the eastward surging outflow of an approaching line of thunderstorms. The tornado moved across a marina where a floating marina cover was lifted and thrown about 50 yards, being destroyed in the process. Several boats at the marina were also damaged. One tree on the shoreline was also damaged. Maximum estimated winds were 85 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.
