20:32Z EF0 KPUX CO Lincoln Punkin Center A tornado touched down briefly in an open field. No damage was observed.
20:49Z EF3 KFDR TX Knox Truscott This tornado formed approximately six miles west of Truscott and initially moved just north of due east with occasional damage to mesquite trees. As it approached County Road 2610 and FM 1756 a semi truck was knocked over, and a 4000 pound cattle feeder was blown about 850 feet to the north-northeast. Two structures on the southeast side of Truscott-Brine Lake received roof and window damage. Utility poles were broken from the area just southeast of Truscott-Brine Lake to State Highway 6, including steel utility poles that were bent. The tornado weakened and then dissipated after crossing Highway 6.
21:57Z EF0 KPUX CO Lincoln Karval A tornado briefly touched down in an open field. No damage was observed.
22:08Z EFU KPUX CO Cheyenne Aroya First of several tornadoes that occurred in quick succession. This was the larger initial one that was captured by storm chaser footage and reported by law enforcement.
22:08Z EFU KPUX CO Cheyenne Wild Horse This second tornado occurred simultaneously with a larger tornado (first tornado entered). This one was visually smaller according to storm chaser footage.
22:15Z EFU KPUX CO Cheyenne Sorrento Chaser footage showed a smaller satellite tornado to the parent circulation. This tornado began, and was immediately followed by a much larger tornado. This is the third tornado produced by this storm in short succession.
22:16Z EFU KPUX CO Cheyenne Sorrento This is the fourth tornado that occurred in rapid succession. This tornado, visually from storm chaser stream, was the largest tornado of the day. It continued across open country of southwestern Cheyenne County Colorado. A satellite tornado began shortly before this one, which was the third tornado of the day.
22:28Z EFU KPUX CO Cheyenne Sorrento Tornadoes viewed on live chase stream. Based on photos/videos submitted, as well as radar imagery, believe this to be the fifth tornado produced by this storm.
22:54Z EFU KPUX CO Cheyenne Sorrento Storm chaser submitted video, on social media, of a tornado crossing US HWY 40 west of Kit Carson.
23:27Z EFU KGLD CO Cheyenne Firstview Landspout tornado, multiple reports received along with video of tornado near the intersection of county roads DD and 32 in northern Cheyenne County.
00:15Z EF0 KFDR OK Tillman Hollister A storm chaser observed a brief tornado estimated to be about 9 miles south of Hollister. No damage was reported.
00:19Z EFU KFDR TX Wilbarger Grayback Three storm chasers reported a tornado that was observed from a long distance. The tornado lasted about a minute, and produced no known damage, so the location is estimated.
00:47Z EF0 KSJT TX Scurry Hermleigh A thunderstorm produced a tornado near Hermleigh, TX with multiple reports from spotters. This tornado was rated as an EF-0 and the path length and width as well as total duration were estimated. No damage was reported.
05:00Z EF1 KTLX OK Garvin Pauls Valley A tornado developed about 4 miles southeast of Pauls Valley and moved northeast and then north dissipating about 4 and a half miles east-northeast of Pauls Valley. One home on county road 3285 suffered roof damage. At least one outbuilding was destroyed and two others damaged along the path.
11:01Z EFU KSRX OK Adair Bidding Spgs This tornado produced a tornadic debris signature on the KSRX WSR-88D that lasted at least three minutes. The survey team could not access the heavily wooded area where this tornado likely occurred due to the lack of roads transecting the path.
11:06Z EF1 KSRX OK Adair Stilwell This tornado damaged a home, destroyed a couple outbuildings, damaged chicken houses, and uprooted trees. Based on this damage, maximum estimated wind in the tornado was 90 to 100 mph.
