0317 PM     Tornado          2 NW Shamrock           35.23N 100.27W
03/24/2024                   Wheeler            TX   NWS Storm Survey

            This quick, brief tornado touched down to
            the north of I-40. Spotters had reported a
            funnel cloud had crossed I-40, but no damage
            was noted. The tornado caused damage to the
            Dalton O Gorman Rodeo Arena. Here it caused
            roof damage where a large section of the
            eastern half of the roof was blown off and
            the south facing wall was blown down. No
            other damage occurred in this area so it is
            believed to be a narrow path. The tornado
            lifted soon thereafter. This tornado was
            rated an EF-1 with estimated winds of 100
            mph. The path length was 0.18 miles and path
            width of 25 yards.

0243 PM     Tornado          8 SSE Waka              36.18N 101.00W
03/24/2024                   Ochiltree          TX   NWS Storm Survey

            This tornado was photographed and filmed by
            multiple sources. It remained in a field and
            resulted in no known damage.

0258 PM     Tornado          4 S Perryton            36.34N 100.81W
03/24/2024                   Ochiltree          TX   NWS Storm Survey

            The tornado developed in a field to the
            south of County Road M. It then crossed
            County Road M, where it snapped three power
            poles and overturned a portion of an
            irrigation pivot. The tornado then crossed
            Highway 83 where it caused loss of roofing
            material to a roundtop quonset. As the
            tornado continued to track to the northeast,
            it threw mud on several power poles and
            deposited debris along County Road L. The
            tornado tracked northeast before dissipating
            in a field. Video footage exists that
            confirms this tornado was rather wide and
            possibly had multiple vortices. The tornado
            was rated an EF1 with estimated peak winds
            of 105mph, a path length of 1.59 miles and
            width of 100 yards.

            a door and some lifted roof panels near
            County Rd K, with additional damage to the

            tornado lifted. This tornado was rated an
            EF-0 with estimated peak winds of 80mph and
            path length of 0.72 miles. Estimated path
