EF1 tornado in Travis County, Texas

A National Weather Service damage survey team found damage to a building under construction near Hwy 290 and Toll Road 130. Minor damage was seen at the Ford dealership on Hwy 290 and to a gas station near the intersection of 290 and Manor Downs Rd. where a large billboard was blown over into the gas station parking lot. Tree and roof damage was also noted at the gas station along with minor damage to a few businesses at the Lexington St./Hwy 290 intersection. All of this damage along Hwy 290 was rated EF0. The small tornado either weakened or reformed just to the north of Hwy 290 in Shadowglen with fence and shingle damage found to houses on several neighborhood roads. One house had significant EF1 roof damage where winds looks to have peaked at 110 mph. The small tornado appears to have weakened again as it moved ENE into the Stonewater neighborhood. Multiple homes had a significant amount of shingles removed, fences damaged, trampolines tossed, and some tree damage. The tornado appears to have dissipated somewhere NE of the Stonewater area.

There were two rounds of severe thunderstorms on the 28th. The first in the morning along a cold front as it moved into a warm, moist airmass with storms producing a tornado and damaging wind gusts. The second later in the day as the airmass recovered and a dryline moved in. These storms produced large hail.
