EF1 tornado in Jack County, Texas

A second tornado formed in northern Jack County in association with the intense supercell which tracked across the county into Wise and Parker counties. This second tornado formed west of Post Oak Road, just north of its intersection with Campsey Road. The tornado moved southeast in open terrain producing substantial tree damage as it paralleled Campsey Road. Most of these trees exhibited damage consistent with high-end EF-0 winds on the order of 70-80 mph. However, a number of trees exhibited more significant snapping and twisting along this part of the track, commensurate with low end EF-1 wind speeds of approximately 90 mph. The tornado continued southeast for approximately 4-5 more miles producing additional high end EF-0 and low end EF-1 damage to trees, a couple of oil storage tanks, and a few homes and outbuildings. The tornado crossed State Highway 59 west of Cundiff, continued to track southeast and dissipated before reaching Coca Cola Ranch Road near the West Fork of the Trinity River.

From April 24 to April 27, daily thunderstorms developed during the late afternoon and evening, triggered by a dryline and a meandering frontal boundary. These long-lasting supercells were fueled by a highly unstable and sheared environment, resulting in several tornadoes, damaging winds, and very large hail. Two fatalities occurred on April 25th.
