The National Weather Service has conducted preliminary damage

severe storms that moved through the region Friday April 26,
2024. 3 separate tornadoes were found in Navarro County: 2 EF-1
tornadoes with a maximum wind speed of 110 mph beginning near
Navarro Mills Lake and tracking northeast towards Emhouse, and 1
brief EF-0 tornado northwest of Frost with a maximum wind speed of
80 mph.

Additional tornadoes were found in Mclennan and Hill Counties,
with a brief EF-0 and additional EF-1 tornado near China Springs.
An EF-2 tornado was found east of West near the Mclennan-Hill

Further assessment with additional results of the survey is
expected to be completed and transmitted via a Public Information

days to compile if additional surveys are deemed necessary.
