This was reported by law enforcement with very poor driving conditions.

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.
Power poles...cotton trailers...and the tin roof of a shed and also the tin roof of a city shop reported damaged by thunderstorm winds. Peanut hoppers were blown around by the high wind.
