Episode Narrative An intense upper level storm system ignited a line of strong to severe thunderstorms, which marched across North and Central Texas during the early morning hours of March 13. A broad swath of wind damage occurred along the Interstate 20 corridor including the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
Event Narrative This tornado developed immediately east of downtown Mineral Wells, in an industrial area. Initial damage was confined to some sheet metal roofing removed from a manufacturing storage building. As the tornado moved east, it produced EF-0 scale damage to commercial signage and roofs along the US 180 corridor. Windspeed intensity appeared to increase along US 180 from the Garrett Morris Parkway intersection eastward, with enhanced signage, roof, utility pole and tree damage observed. A commercial automotive repair center located just southeast of Mineral Wells High School sustained significant roof and wall damage consistent with low end EF-1 intensity tornadic winds. The tornado appeared to dissipate near the intersection of US 180 and Washington Road.
