0714 PM     Tornado          1 WNW Sanderson         30.15N 102.42W
06/02/2024                   Terrell            TX   NWS Storm Survey

            Photos showed a tornado formed very near
            Sanderson along a ridge northwest of town.
            This tornado immediately entered a
            neighborhood west of US Highway 285 in
            Sanderson. Damage in this neighborhood
            included damage to walls and roofs of
            several houses with the complete destruction
            of a manufactured home. A sturdy steel
            carport was colla[sed in on itself and trees
            were debarked in the area. This damage was
            rated with a max estimated wind speed of 140
            MPH, making this tornado an EF-3. This
            tornado would continue a short distance to
            the east of this neighborood, moving
            shipping containers and snapping power poles
            before lifting.

0720 PM     Tornado          Sanderson               30.14N 102.40W
06/02/2024                   Terrell            TX   NWS Storm Survey

            The same supercell thunderstorm that caused
            the first tornado would quickly prouce
            another smaller tornado near the center of
            Sanderson a short time later. This tornado
            was photographed as a skinny rope tornado
            moving roughly parallel to Oak Street. This
            tornado would snap power poles, damage
            roofs, and destroy a small wooden building
            before lifting. This short-lived tornado was
            rated an EF-1 with peak winds estimated to
            have been 110 MPH.

0516 PM     Tornado          15 NNW Sanderson        30.36N 102.46W
05/30/2024                   Pecos              TX   Public

            A separate photo and video were shared on
            social media showing an ongoing tornado
            north of Sanderson in rural Pecos or Terrell
            County. Using Google Streetview the
            perspectives from this photo and video were
            located. Based on this information and radar
            data, an approximate tornado track was
            determined to be near a ridgeline to the
            west of US Highway 285 near its intersection
            with Ranch to Market Road 2400. This tornado
            occurred over open and rural terrain in far
            southern Pecos County and was unable to be
            surveyed, therefore this tornado is rated
            EF-Unknown.

0506 PM     Tornado          15 NNW Hovey            30.79N 103.48W
06/01/2024                   Pecos              TX   Broadcast Media

            This tornado was reported and photographed
            as a dusty circulation lasting about 10
            minutes in rural Pecos County west of Hovey
            Road. This circulation may have been a
            landspout initally before developing into a
            tornado as a rapidly developing updraft and
            mesocyclone formed overhead based on radar
            data. This area is open terrain and unable
            to be surveyed, therefore the tornado was
            rated EF-Unknown. Using photos and radar
            data an approximate damage path was created.
