A couple of February tornados have popped up North of Houston in the past couple of weeks. The first tornado an EF-0 was near lake Livingston on February 10th. A severe weather survey was completed yesterday by Dan Reilly, a warning coordination meteorologist with the national weather service. He observed EF-1 damage on the enhanced Fujita scale, with a large barn destroyed and partial roof loss to a brick home in Shepherd, Texas on Monday Feb 18. EF-1 damage, means winds were at least 86mph to 110mph in the region. EF-1 tornado damage, 30 yards wide, was surveyed for at least half mile on the ground. An eye witness said a thin rope like tornado was seen in the area at the time.
A similar weather threat is developing overnight and Thursday morning for southeast Texas.
