Episode Narrative An upper level trough moved out of the Texas Hill Country and towards the region during the afternoon hours of April 13th. Thunderstorms developed well in advance of the trough across the region and these thunderstorms developed under the influence of relatively weak instability but strong low level and deep layer shear. The result was a small, yet potent tornado that touched down just north of Pittsburg, Texas in Camp County.
Event Narrative NWS conducted a storm survey in Camp County and determined that a weak EF0 tornado touched down just north of Pittsburg, Texas. This storm damaged a few businesses along Hwy. 271. A number of billboard signs were damaged and a few businesses sustained roof damage and wall damage. A local bank was able to capture video of the small tornado with its outside security camera. Estimated peak winds with this small tornado were estimated to be between 70 and 75 mph.
