A thunderstorm produced a tornado in Scurry County in and near the town of Hermleigh. The tornado touched down approximately one mile northwest of Hermleigh near the intersection of County Road 4111 and County Road 4116. The tornado snapped numerous power poles as it crossed over County Road 4111 and continued moving east northeast. As the tornado approached US Highway 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 Highway 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. Peak wind speeds in the tornado were estimated to be approximately 115 mph. The cost of damage is a very rough estimate.
