EF1 tornado in Denton County, Texas

A National Weather Service damage survey crew found evidence of EF-1 damage, especially near the Bolivar community in western Denton County, Texas. This tornado formed from the same parent supercell which produced a tornado in Wise County. The tornado began in the far southwestern portion of Denton County, producing damage to open farm and ranch land. Once the storm moved into the Bolivar community, damage to several roofs on homes were noted, as well as substantial damage to barns. A metal storage tank was lifted and thrown into the base of a high tension power line, causing the steel beams to collapse.

A cold front moved south out of the Texas panhandle on May 6th, and was draped across north Texas on the 7th and 8th. The front stalled across the northwestern sections of north Texas and combined to produce severe thunderstorms including large hail, tornadoes, and flash flooding. Flash flooding across Cooke County caused significant impacts, including a late night train derailment.
