Rating: EF1 Estimated Peak Wind: 95 mph Path Length /statute/: 1.6 miles Path Width /maximum/: 75 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 05/18/2025 Start Time: 05:21 PM CDT Start Location: 7 S Higgins / Hemphill County / TX Start Lat/Lon: 36.01 / -100.00 End Date: 05/18/2025 End Time: 05:27 PM CDT End Location: 7 SSE Higgins TX / Ellis County / OK End Lat/Lon: 36.03 / -99.99 Survey Summary: The tornado started near County Road 30 on the very eastern edge of Hemphill County Texas (NWS Amarillo forecast area) and quickly intensified as it crossed onto property where it produced damage to several buildings and a home. The home sustained some roofing damage and the back corner of the house had a partial uplift of the roof deck. Additional storage buildings were damaged including shed doors blown off and roofs and siding damaged. Several trees were uprooted in the yard. A cattle wind break was partially torn from the ground. The tornado then crossed into Ellis County Oklahoma where it snapped a few tree limbs on E690. The tornado then crossed an open field and the last noted damage was along NS1690 where some large branches were snapped. Based on storm spotter footage and survey, it appears the tornado lifted shortly thereafter. The tornado was rated an EF1 based on the house damage and the tree damage. Thanks to NWS Amarillo for the survey. .May 18 Arnett Tornado #1... Rating: EF3 Estimated Peak Wind: 140 to 145 mph Path Length /statute/: 5.5 miles Path Width /maximum/: 50 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 05/18/2025 Start Time: 05:41 PM CDT Start Location: 6 WSW Arnett / Ellis County / OK Start Lat/Lon: 36.09 / -99.86 End Date: 05/18/2025 End Time: 05:56 PM CDT End Location: 1 WSW Arnett / Ellis County / OK End Lat/Lon: 36.13 / -99.78 Survey Summary: The tornado began near the intersection of E0630 Rd and N1760 Rd, breaking four power poles and damaging trees. It moved east- northeast along E0630 Rd, with extensive tree damage noted just east of N1770 Rd. The tornado then turned more northeast and moved over open country. For much of the path, there were few if any damage indicators, but imagery from drone survey teams confirms the tornado damage path was continuous along the 5 mile track. Additional tree damage was noted along E0620 Rd as the tornado continued moving northeast, with the most severe damage along N1810 Rd mile south of E0610 Rd. It was at this location where trees were partially debarked and only stubs of large limbs/branches were left, and this was the basis for the EF3 rating. Near the end of the track, the tornado appeared to be at its most intense as it turned almost due north, with more extensive tree damage along E0610 Rd on the western edge of the city of Arnett. In addition, at this location a large shipping container was displaced 175 feet. The tornado dissipated in far southwest Arnett, just north of E0610 Rd and 1/10 mile west of Lincoln St. Researchers with the University of Oklahoma, National Severe Storms Laboratory and the OTUS Project collected detailed datasets on the tornado, and we appreciate their assistance and collaboration in helping us piece this together. Analysis of their data will continue over the coming days and weeks. .May 18 Arnett Tornado #2...
