Survey Summary:

During the late afternoon of June 8, 2025, a powerful high
precipitation supercell thunderstorm developed over East Texas
south of Interstate Twenty and advanced south-southeast through
Deep East Texas in a highly unstable environment through early
evening. Straight line wind damage associated with this storm
was most pronounced from northwestern Shelby County through
central San Augustine counties, but mostly west of the larger
towns of Center, Texas and San Augustine, Texas.

Most of the produced damage was trees uprooted in a general
southward direction, although there were also some noted trunk
snaps - which generally takes more wind than tree uproots require.
There was some structural damage noted due to wind along and not
just trees falling upon structures (although there were instances
of that, too). The most notable and impressive instance of
structural straight-line wind damage was in the community of
Jericho where a clustering of chicken houses was mostly to
completely destroyed by northerly wind gusts estimated to be up
to 100 mph. Even in this area, there was a lack of damage patterns
typically associated with tornadic circulations. Also notable was
damage to a church in the town of Timpson in northwestern Shelby
County. Severe wind gusts here knocked the brick veneer off of
the front of the church with that veneer falling onto the church
awning and destroying that as well.

This supercell thunderstorm was producing severe hail for much of
its life through this portion of Deep East Texas and this probably
helped strengthen the negative buoyancy of the downdrafts - and
thus helped boost wind gusts produced in the rear-flank downdraft
portion of the storm. Fortunately, the survey team had heard of no
injuries or fatalities associated with this storm - at least at
the time of this writing.

Many thanks to TDEM and Emergency Management Officials in Shelby
and San Augustine counties for their assistance locating and
getting access to damage.
