A large cone tornado developed just east of US-85 south of Hawk Springs, before quickly becoming rain-wrapped. The tornado snapped cottonwood trees, with a tree branch impaling a stucco house. It also damaged outbuildings and snapped power poles. An injury occurred when the tornado flipped an 18-wheeler and injured the driver. The same tornado tracked to the southeast and damaged another outbuilding and a barn 3 miles southeast of Hawk Springs. The tornado was officially rated an EF-2. In addition to the tornado damage, straight-line winds from the Rear Flank Downdraft (RFD) damaged several hardwood trees. This is consistent with 100 MPH winds.
