            neighborhoods consisted of damaged trees,
            downed fences, broken windows, and mostly
            minor roof damage. One home lost most of the
            front part of its roof, and a few homes were
            impaled with flying fence panels. This
            tornado was rated an EF-1 with maximum

            Another tornado developed north of Tours,
            just west of Berger Road. This tornado
            initially damaged trees and a shed, but
            strengthened as it crossed Czech Hall Road.
            The tornado hit a property on County Line
            Road causing EF-2 damage to a barn and a
            shop on the property. The tornado scattered
            heavy farm material into the field to the
            east. The tornado continued into Hill County
            crossing CR 3238 where an eye witness
            reported it dissipated before developing the
            next tornado. Maximum estimated winds were
            110 to 115 mph.

1248 PM     Tornado          3 SSE West              31.76N 97.07W
04/26/2024                   McLennan           TX   NWS Storm Survey

04/26/2024                   Hill               TX   NWS Storm Survey

            The same supercell produced another brief,
            EF-1 tornado, based on eye witness accounts,
            on either side of FM 339 southwest of
            Penelope. The tornado formed in the field
            just east of the road, hitting a residence
            and dissipating soon afterwards. Two houses
            were damaged: One had metal panels peeled
            off the roof, and the home shifted off its
            cinder blocks about 8 inches. Winds got in
            the garage of the uninhabited second house
            and lifted the roof off, then it collapsed
            back on the house and the walls buckled. The
            tornado lifted just east of property; could
            see a few small tree limbs broken to the
            east. Maximum estimated winds were 105 mph.

04/26/2024                   Hill               TX   NWS Storm Survey

            An EF-1 tornado occurred near Abbott, first
            developing on the west side of I-35W and CR
            2341 where trees were damaged and uprooted.
            A semi-tractor trailer was rolled over on
            the interstate. The tornado moved northeast
            causing tree damage until it reached CR 3106
            where it caused minor damage to a few homes.
            The tornado dissipated near after crossing
            CR 3106 again, north of CR 3145. Maximum
            estimated winds were 95 mph.
