A thunderstorm moved across Eddy County and produced a tornado south of Malaga. Based on radar imagery, the tornado appeared to develop just west of U.S. Highway 285, approximately two to three miles south of Malaga and progressed northeast. The exact path could not be determined during a survey due to the tornado���s containment within private lands, without roads to access the potential path. With insufficient|ground information, the wooden electric power poles along Highway 285 were the only|damage indicators available to assess tornado intensity. Based on radar information, it|appears the Malaga tornado formed at approximately 6:08 pm MDT, just southwest of the power poles on Highway 285 and lifted around 6:30 pm MDT (nearly crossing NM|Highway 128, 3 miles east of junction with NM Highway 31) covering a distance of 15 miles. Damaged power poles along Highway 285 were located slightly further south than was indicated on radar, 3.75 miles to 4.05 miles south of Malaga. This was used as a starting point. With the tornado crossing the power poles at approximately a 45-|degree angle, the width of the tornado was estimated at a half mile. Approximately ten power poles that were damaged to some degree as the tornado crossed Highway 285. The observed damage is consistent with damage of an EF2 tornado, with winds estimated at approximately 112 mph. The cost of damage is a very rough estimate.
