9 PM Update: 16 Tornadoes Confirmed with Updated Storm Survey
- Published on Thursday, 16 May 2013 20:50

- 16 Comments
Several pieces of new information have come out about yesterday’s tornadoes. The first of which is that there are now 16 confirmed tornadoes from Wednesday’s outbreak. The Granbury, TX tornado is now confirmed to have been half a mile wide at its largest, but was only on the ground for 2.5 miles. That is an extremely short path length for a violent tornado. Additional damage surveys will take place on Friday and it is likely the tornado count will rise.
