This was the second tornado to cycle from the same parent supercell thunderstorm. Most of its track occurred in Collingsworth County. The tornado developed just east of where the first tornado lifted in extreme eastern Donley County. Much of the middle section of the track occurred across extremely rural sections of Collingsworth County near the Salt Fork Red River and was inaccessible to the survey team. However, radar evidence suggested a continuous path. Most damage was EF-0 along the path, however isolated EF1 damage occurred in two locations based on snapped power poles and tree trunks in two locations.
