            This is a continuation of the Southeast
            Henderson County tornado. This tornado moved
            across Lake Palestine as a waterspout as it
            crossed into extreme Southwest Smith County
            into Dogwood City along Highway 155, where a
            few small trees were uprooted and multiple
            large limbs were snapped. This tornado and
            associated damage continued to narrow as it
            crossed Highway 155, but still topped a few
            trees along CR 1170, snapping several large
            branches and partially snapping a power
            pole, downing a power line across Lakeway
            Circle. The tornado then lifted as it moved
            into an inlet along Lake Palestine just west
            of Emerald Bay. The estimated maximum winds
            associated with the entire tornado track
            from Southeast Henderson County was 105 mph,
            although winds in extreme Southwest Smith
            County were estimated near 85 mph. The
            estimated maximum path width of the tornado
            was 480 yards, which was found in the
            Briarwood Bay subdivision in Coffee City in
            extreme Southeast Henderson County.
