EF2 tornado in Grimes County, Texas

Large damage path extended from a large commercial metal building across a ranchers property and on east into a wooded area. The large metal building and a house of the property were destroyed. Around this area and in wooded area numerous large trees were uprooted and snapped. Worst of the damage was consistent with EF2 rating.

Strong upper level disturbances combined with above average moisture levels and favorable upper level wind patterns to produce a round of severe thunderstorms that eventually trained and produced excessive rainfall and flash flood during the afternoon hours of the 26th and on into the overnight and early morning hours of the 27th. Rainfall totals of 6 to 10 inches were common over the north and northwestern parts of Harris County into Waller, Montgomery, and Washington Counties, with much of the rain falling in a 3 to 6 hour period. Portions of Washington County recorded over 12 inches of rainfall in a 3 hour period. This event was the fourth federal disaster declaration for Harris County in the last year.
