1 funnel cloud, 1 tornado. Local standard time, as filed.
A police dispatcher from Temple observed this funnel cloud as it moved northward toward Walters. Later a tornado developed 3 miles south-southwest of Walters, resulting in minor damage.
Damage from this tornado was very minor and confined to an area from 1 mile west of Walters to 1 mile northwest of Walters. A few swing sets were overturned. A television antenna was bent, and an empty agricultural trailer was rolled about 50 feet over a chain-link fence. In addition, south and west facing doors were blown off a sheet metal storage building at the Rodeo Expo Center on Highway 53, which is on the northwest side of Walters. A small section of the roof was also peeled back.
