The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.
Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

UPDATE...
HAVE REFRESHED GRIDS AND PUBLIC PRODUCTS WITH THE NEW TORNADO
WATCH NUMBER 694 ISSUED BY SPC THROUGH 4 PM CST. CURRENTLY...SHOWERS
AND A FEW STORMS DEVELOPING ALONG AND JUST NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT
WHICH IS FROM NORTH OF JASPER THEN EXTENDING EAST ALONG THE
HIGHWAY 190 CORRIDOR. THESE INITIAL CELLS ARE LIKELY ELEVATED IN
NATURE WITH HAIL THE MAIN THREAT. HOWEVER...WARM FRONT WILL
CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTHWARD AS LOW LEVEL JET INCREASES.
THEREFORE...SHORTLY ALL STORMS THAT DEVELOP ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA SHOULD HAVE A ROOT BASE AT THE SURFACE. WITH VERY HIGH LOW
LEVEL SHEAR...THESE DISCRETE CELLS WILL HAVE A CHANCE FOR ROTATION
AND BECOMING TORNADIC. ACTIVITY WILL END LATER THIS AFTERNOON AS
DEVELOPING COLD FRONT IN SOUTH CENTRAL TEXAS MOVES RAPIDLY
EASTWARD. A SQUALL LINE IS STILL EXPECTED TO FORM ALONG THE COLD
FRONT WITH STRAIGHT LINE DAMAGING WINDS AND THE POSSIBILITY OF
ISOLATED TORNADO WITH ANY BOW SEGMENTS WITHIN THE SQUALL LINE.
OF OTHER NOTE...KLCH WILL CONDUCT A 18Z SPECIAL UPPER AIR SOUNDING
IN SUPPORT OF THE SEVERE WEATHER.
