Event narrative

A small EF0 tornado formed as a cluster of storms was moving northward through northern Frio County. An NWS damage survey found a small tornado touched down along CR 2537 on the south side of Moore and then moved NW for about a quarter mile before dissipating. Two residences on CR 2537 have roof damage, along with several trees that were damaged. A neighboring property across the street had its fence blown down. Several items from the properties were thrown about a 100 yards. As the tornado moved quickly to the NW, it appears to have dissipated along CR 2518. Maximum winds are estimated to be 75 mph.
