Mabank Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
This tornado is a continuation from Van Zandt County. A little more than an hour after the Malakoff tornado occurred, a second tornado developed over extreme southwest Van Zandt County, approximately 3 miles northeast of Mabank. This tornado touched down along VZ County Road 2718 just east of the intersection with VZ County Road 2719. The tornado moved almost due west along VZ CR 2718, producing intermittent tree and power line damage, as well as roof damage to several manufactured homes, site built homes, and a couple of farm outbuildings. The tornado continued westward, moving into extreme southeast Kaufman County and producing additional intermittent tree and outbuilding damage. The tornado dissipated near the intersection of Kaufman County Road 4007 and Farm to Market Road 90. The total length of the tornado was 2.19 miles and the maximum winds were 85 mph.
Significant flash flooding occurred in the southern parts of Kaufman County, especially in the city of Mabank. Numerous roads were flooded and water flowed over several bridges. Over 10 inches of rain fell in Mabank and this led to numerous homes threatened with flood water and at least four homes were inundated with water. One home had to be evacuated. Numerous vehicles suffered damage as the water rose and flooded the insides. The flooding was directly responsible for power outages throughout the area and led to a boil water notice.
