What the National Weather Service wrote
Trained spotters observed and recorded a multiple vortex tornado northeast of Brandon. While large, the tornado produced no visible damage, except to farm fields. However, the combination of a large tornado which moved slowly, produced quite a bit of damage to the fields.
The wider storm
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.
Began near Brandon (32.0526, -96.9653).
