Isolated straight line wind damage, mainly in the form of downed trees, was
found across Montgomery county (particularly the southern 2/3s part of
the county). However, the it appears a definitive tornado track started in
western Conroe from in and just west of the Canyon Creek subdivision off of
Longmire Rd.  This small tornado tracked generally west-northwest to the 
south of FM 3083 for about a mile.  The strongest winds, likely reaching
90 mph /EF1 range/, was near the start of the tornado just to the east of
Longmire.  Most of the rest of the tree damage was consistent with EF0 winds
before the tornado dissipated.
