Episode Narrative Hurricane Beryl moved into Texas during the morning of July 8th. Gusty winds, scattered flooding, and an isolated tornado occurred in deep southeast Texas as the system moved through the region.
Event Narrative A National Weather Service storm survey revealed that an EF-2 tornado impacted areas near Jasper, Texas. The tornado touched down somewhere in the Little Walnut Run Valley and tracked 8.6 miles to the northwest lifting somewhere in the Indian Creek Valley. The tornado also tracked through the west side of the city of Jasper. Numerous power poles and trees were snapped or uprooted. Numerous homes and outbuildings were heavily damaged. The tornado weakened as it crossed Highway 190 in Jasper, only to regain EF-2 strength as it crossed Houston Street in a wooded area. There was one injury associated with this tornado. The maximum estimated winds were 115 mph.
