What the National Weather Service wrote
A National Weather Service damage survey team found evidence of a nearly six mile tornado path across much of Coryell County and an extremely small part of Fort Hood. The tornado began near Farm to Market Road 580 where it crosses Table Rock Creek. From there, the tornado moved north, and eventually northeast before it dissipated just east of Farm to Market Road 116 near Shell Mountain Road. There were six homes which suffered damage, including one which had the roofing material removed. The most extensive damage was done to an historic cemetery, where all but one tree was damaged, uprooted, or both.
The wider storm
For several days, a stalled cold front, combined with abundant moisture from the Gulf of Mexico combined to produce widespread rain and thunderstorms in Texas. Several rounds of strong to severe thunderstorms occurred during a four day period, producing flash flooding, and numerous reports of large hail. Tornadoes affected areas in central Texas, from near Lampasas to a deadly tornado in Milam County.
Began near Topsey (31.2435, -97.9362).
