What the National Weather Service wrote
This tornado formed over Lake Meredith. The track of the tornado was parallel to the shoreline, before moving north-northeast into an inlet called Bugbee. The tornado then lifted as it approached the shoreline just south of Bugbee Cove. Numerous pictures confirmed tornado, and also produce some tree limb damage near the shoreline of Bugbee Cove.
The wider storm
The beginning of June started out with some abundant moisture, throughout the atmosphere and surface, which led to an unstable environment. A few different upper-level disturbances and surface boundaries (i.e., dryline) help to bring about some thunderstorms that became severe across the combined Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles the first through the third. These severe storms brought instances of large hail, damaging winds, heavy rain, and even a couple of short-lived tornadoes on the second near Lake Meredith.
Began near Fritch (35.7000, -101.6000).
