EF1 tornado in Parker County, Texas

The same fast-moving supercell that produced the EF-0 tornado near I-20 produced a second tornado northwest of Weatherford. The second tornado, rated an EF-1 with maximum winds of 110 mph, began between Garner Adell Road and the Lake Mineral Wells State Trailway. The tornado moved north-northeast, tracking west of Coldwater Creek Lane towards the intersection of FM 920 and Johnson Bend Road. South of FM 920, most of the damage was rated in the EF-1 category where damage occurred to numerous large trees, uprooting many of them and twisting large branches around snapped trunks. One home in this area sustained notable roof damage when the winds lifted the ceiling on an upstairs balcony. Two other homes sustained minor damage. After the tornado crossed FM 920, it tracked along Johnson Bend Road uprooting more trees and causing damage to sheds and outhouses. However, the tornado also directly impacted a small complex of duplexes, taking off half the roof covering on 3 of the buildings. Continuing along a path to the north-northeast, the tornado caused minor damage in a residential area along Oak Drive, north of Johnson Bend Road. The tornado continued tracking a little bit more to the northeast, damaging trees on a property on Adair Lane, before dissipating north of this area. The maximum width of the tornado was 250 yards when the tornado was doing its most intense damage near FM 920 and Johnson Bend Road.

Multiple upper level shortwaves moved overtop the Plains contributing to the development of severe storms near and along a cold front and dryline on and off between the 18th and 20th. Large hail, damaging winds, flash flooding, and tornadoes were all observed, particularly on the 19th. A total of 12 tornadoes occurred along and east of Highway 281 causing considerable damage: 1 EF-2, 5 EF-1s, and 6 EF-0s.
