The tornado initially caused minor damage to trees and a home along FM 1753. As it moved southeast across CR 1300, the tornado intensified and caused more widespread tree damage, heavily damaged a barn, and caused minor exterior damage to two homes. CR 1300 was blocked for 2 days due to the downed trees. The tornado reached its peak intensity of 105 mph and max width of 300 yards as it crossed CR 1305, completely destroying a mobile home, heavily damaging another mobile home and a large barn, causing minor damage to two other homes, and snapping and uprooting dozens of trees. A horse trailer was also lifted and blown across the roadway. The tornado continued southeast through rural inaccessible forests before dissipating. ..Bonham EF1 Tornado... Rating: EF1 Estimated Peak Wind: 100 mph Path Length /statute/: 5.59 miles Path Width /maximum/: 300 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 06/08/2025 Start Time: 09:52 PM CDT Start Location: 5 NNE Ector / Fannin County / TX Start Lat/Lon: 33.6462 / -96.2468 End Date: 06/08/2025 End Time: 10:04 PM CDT End Location: Bonham / Fannin County / TX End Lat/Lon: 33.5895 / -96.1791 Survey Summary: The same parent storm that produced the Ravenna tornado also spawned another EF-1 tornado that touched down along FM 274 around 2 miles south of Ravenna, causing minor damage to a home and blowing down a few trees. The tornado intensified as it continued southeast, blowing down numerous trees in rural areas east of FM 274 and north of FM 898. Southwest of the tornado path, RFD or inflow winds into the tornado blew down many more trees along FM 274 and FM 898 west of CR 1444. As the tornado crossed FM 898 near CR 1445, a few homes suffered minor exterior damage, some outbuildings were heavily damaged, and many large trees were snapped or uprooted. A small silo along CR 1445 was lifted and blown 350 yards to the southeast before landing. Notable cyclonic patterns were also apparent in flattened grass in this area. The tornado weakened as it crossed US 82 and Hwy 121, knocking down just a few trees, causing very minor damage to a Fix & Feed store, and blowing a few sheds into a field. As the tornado entered the city of Bonham, it intensified again and blew down hundreds of trees along residential streets in the northwest part of the city. Three homes along Agnew Street suffered heavy wind damage (where the maximum estimated winds of 100 mph occurred), a church on Franklin Ave lost its steeple, and another church on Oriental Street lost an exterior wall. RFD or inflow winds southwest of the tornado track blew part of the roof off a Braums store on Hwy 121, flattened the scoreboard at the Warriors stadium, and lifted part of the roof off the western side of Finley Oates elementary school. The tornado dissipated into a large downburst around Main Street, with straight-line winds of 60 to 80 mph blowing down dozens of trees and power lines and causing roof damage to a few buildings across the rest of Bonham. && EF Scale: The Enhanced Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes into the following categories: EF0.....65 to 85 mph EF1.....86 to 110 mph EF2.....111 to 135 mph EF3.....136 to 165 mph EF4.....166 to 200 mph EF5.....>200 mph NOTE: The information in this statement is preliminary and subject to change pending final review of the events and publication in NWS Storm Data. $$ Shamburger/Darrah/Hernandez
