Episode Narrative A potent upper level system moved across Texas beginning in the late morning and continued into the afternoon. This produced a Quasilinear Convective System or Line Echo Wave Pattern (LEWP) that produced widespread damaging winds and a few isolated tornadoes. South of the line, more classic supercell structure was noted with thunderstorms across the Edwards Plateau and the Northwest Hill County, however no tornadoes were reported with these thunderstorms as the storms moved over very sparsely populated areas.
Event Narrative A tornado started about three miles to the west of Rockwood and moved across the south side of Rockwood where it damaged a few buildings including the new Post Office. The tornado then continued to the east of Rockwood for an additional three to four miles damaging barns and trees. Shortly after the tornado passed, winds of 65 to 75 mph ripped through the area causing additional damage.
