A small tornado touched down near Hayride Road about 5 miles east of the Austin Bergstrom Airport and moved north near 1/2 mile, crossing Pearce Lane before lifting and dissipating. Shortly after it touched down, it struck a permanent home, causing it to collapse. The collapse may have been partially due to the type of construction. Seconds later it struck several mobile homes, causing only minor damage. It then struck a second permanent home, causing damage to the roof. The resident of this second home was asleep at the time and awoke to a "rumbling" sound shortly before windows started blowing in. He sought shelter in an interior bathroom tub.
