Large hail up to the size of quarters fell on several ranches in southern Pecos County during the afternoon of the 10th. A tornado struck the Longfellow Ranch in northeastern Brewster County, destroying numerous large trees.

A relatively long and narrow swath of tornadic winds were evident in several groves of trees on the Longfellow Ranch. A stand of oak trees, many four inches in diameter, were snapped at the lower portions of the trunk. No damage to man made structures occurred as a result of the tornado.
