A separate PNS will be sent Tuesday May 3rd regarding the reported tornadoes in Pecos County. Hermleigh and southeastern Scurry County... Results from this survey indicate that a brief tornado touched down approximately 1 mile northwest of Hermleigh near the intersection of CR 4111 and CR 4116. The tornado snapped numerous power poles as it crossed over CR 4111 and continued moving east- northeast. As the tornado approached US HWY 84, it produced EF-2 level damage at a home and detached garage where most of the roofing material was ripped off and concrete anchorage failure occurred. Large vehicles, trailers, and other debris were scattered up to 100 yards west of this home. The tornado continued onward, crossing US HWY 84 where it impacted a trailer park. Numerous mobile homes were flipped or tossed towards the west- southwest as the backside of the tornadic circulation passed over the RV park. The tornado continued moving northeast and eventually occluded on the north side of town. There was additional wind damage to trees and structures on the north and south side of the tornado's path, however this damage was most likely caused by rear-flank downdraft winds from the parent mesocyclone. .Hermleigh Tornado...
