David Reimer caught this brief tornado 2.5 miles northwest of Peadenville, Tx looking to the Northwest. There is a possibility this tornado was on the ground longer in the rain, but was obscured.

After filming the tornado I (David) headed south and east where I ended up ten miles west of I-20 before traffic came to a complete stop. Thus after exiting I-20 I came upon this damage off FM-1189 around half a mile south of Interstate 20. The damage to homes was off Olive Branch Road. Several Large Trees were either uprooted or snapped off. Playgrounds in the neighborhood were either flipped over or dismantled and blown across the neighborhood. Two new homes that were under construction had parts of their insulation and wooden beams blown out of them. Metal Roofing and siding were common across the area, mostly blown up against objects that were secured in the grown, such as fence posts.Upon heading south a tenth of a mile I found damage to Brock’s Volunteer Fire Department. Their building had some of their doors blown out and the flag pole was bent over to a 30 to 40 degree angle.
