EF3 tornado in Eastland County, Texas

A National Weather Service storm survey crew found evidence of EF-3 damage to the south of the city of Cisco. The tornado began as a small funnel, just west of State Highway 206, before making a slow trek eastward. As the tornado grew, the damage occurred to several buildings along U.S. 183. One house was completely destroyed, along with a mobile home just to the south of the main house. Two cars, one tractor, and several farm implements were tossed over one mile to the east with this tornado.

An active Spring weather pattern led to numerous severe thunderstorms, many of which produced tornadoes, across north Texas during Mother's Day Weekend. The prolonged period of strong to severe storms was made possible by a slow-moving upper level low pressure system which moved east from the Rockies through the Southern Plains. Activity began on Friday and continued through Mother's Day evening.
