Several more trees and tree branches were blown down as the tornado weakened and crossed Lipan Highway, Stonehill Court, and Ridge Court before it dissipated.

Damage surveys ongoing

On Tuesday, the NWS will continue evaluating storm damage from April 19 in Jack, Montague, Parker, Palo Pinto, Erath, and Hood counties. The findings may take several days to compile and publish and the number of confirmed tornadoes may increase.

This brings the total number of tornadoes surveyed to nine, with additional information still to come.

온라인카지노사이트 5 Chief Meteorologist Rick Mitchell said Monday that the vast majority of tornadoes are rated EF-0 or EF-1 and that though they are considered relatively weak, they can still cause significant damage.

The NWS said a big part of the success of their severe weather warning program is receiving storm and damage reports. If you know of any storm damage due to high winds or tornadoes, please contact your local emergency management office or email pictures at sr-fwd.webmaster@noaa.gov.
