Episode Narrative 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.
Event Narrative Trained spotters observed a tornado on the east side of the city of Sherman. This tornado initially moved east, before moving in a due northerly direction. The damage was mainly over open construction areas, and produced minimal damage.
