| Episode Narrative | A powerful storm system brought significant severe weather to the region. Tornadoes, damaging winds, and large hail accompanied thunderstorms that formed during the afternoon hours and persisted into the evening. This was a very unusual event for late fall in the Central High Plains. One significant factor in this anomalous event was the presence of an unusual amount of moisture for mid-November, contributing to relatively high values of instability. No tornadoes had previously been documented in the Texas Panhandle during the month of November. |
| Event Narrative | A brief tornado caused a windmill to collapse. A witnessed stated that a funnel was visible for around 10 minutes and the tornado tracked 4 to 5 miles. The tornado was rated EF-0 with estimated maximum winds of 90 mph. |
