The beginning of the tornado path was in rural areas and the valley and terrain around the Salt Fork of the Red River and damage was mainly to trees. However as the tornado moved through the northwest side of Mangum and adjacent areas, many outbuildings were destroyed and at least one home just northwest of town had much of it's roof removed. The maximum damage in and near Mangum was consistent with an EF2 rating, although many indications (including research radar data from the Center for Severe Weather Research) indicate that the tornado was likely stronger in the rural areas southwest of Mangum.
22:23Z EF3 KMAF TX Ector Pleasant Farms A thunderstorm moved across Ector County and produced a tornado southeast of Odessa. The tornado developed in Ector County approximately nine miles southeast of Odessa, northeast of the Pleasant Farms community, and moved northeastward into southwest portions of Midland County. The aerial survey of this tornado revealed a clearly defined path. Numerous power poles were broken. The survey also showed pump jacks and other oil field equipment that were toppled by the tornado.
