No injuries reported after 13 confirmed tornadoes in East Texas due to Beryl, NWS says

SABINE COUNTY, Texas ( KETK ) — In a record-breaking severe weather event, 13 tornadoes touched down in East Texas as Beryl continued inland.

NWS in Shreveport reported 67 tornado warnings on Monday. NWS Shreveport said weather events due to Beryl “are further proof that inland tropical impacts can also be quite extreme.”

NWS said as of now, there have been no reported injuries in East Texas in relation to the 13 tornadoes and released survey details:

BOWIE COUNTY

NWS reported an EF-1 tornado in Texarkana around 5:15 p.m. north of New Boston Road and east of Cowhorn Creek that uprooted trees, lifted roof coverings, shingles and caused light roof damage to older, apparently abandoned homes.

Wind speeds were recorded as high as 90 mph.

CASS, MORRIS COUNTY

The EF1 tornado reportedly touched down between CR 2993 and CR 2915 east of Hughes Springs. The tornado uprooted trees, snapping a wooden power pole close to the base.

The tornado continued northwest causing damage to wooded areas south of CR 2911. The tornado then went west and snapped trees. NWS said damage could be seen at the Highway 49 intersection.

Wind speeds reached up to 104 mph NWS said.

GREGG COUNTY

NWS said a short lived EF-0 tornado with peak winds of 85 mph caused damage to the East Texas Regional Airport south of Longview.

The tornado reportedly first produced minor tree damage on the north and south sides of Lake Cherokee and Lake Road. The tornado then went northwest towards the airport.

“As the tornado moved through the southern portion of the airport, it caused damage to a number of hangars by knocking down or twisting the large hangar metal doors, and ripping off some side paneling to the hangars,” according to NWS.

NWS noted that there were two stop signs that were not just bent but twisted from the base. The tornado produced additional tree damage on the west side of SH 322 across from the airport before it lifted.

NWS thanked the Gregg County Emergency Management Office and the Gregg County Sheriff’s Office Airport Division for their help.

HARRISON COUNTY

NWS surveyed an EF-1 tornado southwest of Karnack with peak winds of 107 mph, measuring 10 miles long.

“It travelled just east of Bill Coleman Road snapping and uprooting hardwood and softwood trees before turning north, crossing Marshall Leigh Road, and travelling north again,” NWS said. “More tree damage was observed as the tornado crossed Highway 43 and then moved along Peter Chapel Road. The tornado lifted near the intersection of Baldwin Road and Peter Chapel Road.”

NACOGDOCHES COUNTY

NWS said the EF1 tornado produced damage around 1.5 miles to the southeast of Appleby on CR 260.

As the tornado crossed U.S. 59, NWS said it might have lifted shortly as damage was “lacking in this area.” Damage then picked up on CR 112 where more trees were snapped and uprooted.

The tornado then damaged households on CR 117 and CR 118.

“It tore the roof off of a single family home along with some damage to surrounding houses. Thankfully no one was injured at this location despite a few of the homeowners being home as the tornado moved through,” NWS said.

Additional tree damage was noted as the tornado crossed near CR 915 and Highway 204 before it lifted. Max winds were reported as high as 110 mph and 8.17 miles long.

PANOLA

An EF-1 tornado with winds of 110 mph was reported that produced damage about 4.25 miles northeast of Tatum.

“Video obtained by homeowners along FM 959 show evidence that the tornado did indeed start here. There are about a half a dozen homes along the start of the path back to where FM 959 intersects with State Highway 43. Thankfully none of these homes suffered any significant damage although a few of them had some siding or metal roofing pulled off them,” NWS said.

The tornado then crossed into Henderson County around 7.5 miles south of Hallsville along a private drive.

NWS thanked the Rusk, Panola and Harrison counties emergency management officers for their support during the survey process.

A second very strong EF-1 tornado originally began in Louisiana where a mobile home was destroyed. It then moved into Caddo Parish where a mobile home was flipped upside down and two residents were taken to a local hospital with minor injuries.

The tornado then entered into northeast Panola County when the storm lifted near the Waskom-Elysian Fields road.

RUSK COUNTY

A brief EF-0 tornado with max winds of 85 mph was reported to have touched down and produced damage on Highway 259 around 9.5 miles north of Mount Enterprise.

NWS said damage was confined to hardwood and softwood trees and a few uproots along the path.

SABINE COUNTY

Sabine County had two tornadoes as a result of Beryl.

Residents around East Hamilton saw an EF-1 tornado with max winds of 110 mph on the western shoreline of Toledo Bend. NWS said there was no damage to the homes in the FM 2261 and CR 2844 area, but there was significant damage to trees that blocked the roads.

NWS said the tornado likely started over the lake and moved to shore where it was tracked east of CR 2799 through private roads.

“Thanks to the help of a local oil/gas worker, we were able to obtain drone footage that confirmed the tornado continued along this area with a clear cut path shown. We were able to access and confirm more damage along FS Road 148 and FS Road 135 where a small camp had significant damage to some of their smaller buildings and a number of trees,” NWS said.

NWS thanked the Shelby County Emergency Management Office for their help.

Another EF-1 tornado with max winds of 110 mph was detected along the western portion of Toledo Bend near Holly Park Marina. NWS believes the tornado began on Toledo Bend and produced damage along the shoreline.

“As the tornado moved to the northwest we believe it made brief contact with an RV park at the Holly Park Marina where it overturned and tossed a couple of RV’s, completely destroying them. The tornado also threw a few boats, ruined a boat dock, completely destroyed a small fish cleaning station and snapped a number of large hardwood trees,” NWS said.

The tornado reportedly went back over the water and dissipated.

SHELBY COUNTY

On Monday, Shelby County saw three tornadoes in the area.

An EF-1 tornado first touched down and produced damage along U.S. 84 around 1.5 miles east of Paxton.

“As this tornado tracked to the northwest it snapped and uprooted a number of trees along County Road 439 and County Road 430 about 1.5 miles to the east of FM 699,” NWS said.

The second EF-1 tornado with peak winds estimated at 110 mph began in Timpson. NWS said a business in Timpson lost nearly half of its roof and a RV was also destroyed. The tornado then lifted just after crossing FM 1970 north of CR 4843.

The third EF-1 tornado touched down and started producing damage on CR 2625 about 1.5 miles to the southeast of Shelbyville.

“A number of homes sustained damage to their roofs from both the 110 mph winds produced by the tornado and trees falling on homes. Thankfully there were no reported injuries from this location,” NWS said.

As the tornado traveled through the Bone Hill area and into the community of James, the survey indicated the tornado lifted near the Jericho Creek.
