What the National Weather Service wrote

A storm chaser shared video evidence of a brief tornado over rural fields in Pecos County. No damage was reported by landowners, and no damage was able to be found. The tornado was therefore rated EF-Unknown. The approximate tornado track and width were estimated.

The wider storm

A cold front draped across portions of north and west Texas into Southeast New Mexico, with a dryline extending south to the Stockton Plateau, would be the focus for strong to severe thunderstorms as a trough approached the region.

Began near Bakersfield (30.9627, -102.3237).
