For this addendum, the tornadoes listed are those in which an inconsistency was
noted by the author between the database and Storm Data. The main comparison that
was made is the list of counties for each tornado, but occasionally other
differences were noted. Unlike the Oklahoma and north Texas tornadoes listed in
the Technical Memorandum, a geographic check to make sure that the path and counties
agreed was not done if the counties listed were consistent between Storm Data and
the database. Other entries in this addendum are made when the author was made
aware of other differences. For example, entries are included in this list for
inconsistent geography noted by representatives of other NWS offices (including
Corpus Christi TX, and North Webster IN) when investigating the
tornadoes within their area of responsibility. Other NWS representatives
finding any differences are encouraged to e-mail the author for inclusion on
this list to make other users aware of your findings. (Proper credit will be
included).
As stated in Section 2 of the Technical Memorandum, according to Dr. Joseph
Schaefer (2000, personal communication) on the history of the historic tornado
database: "one cannot a priori assume that the SPC/NSSFC data is wrong and that
Storm Data is right!" Furthermore, the resources to investigate these tornadoes
were not as abundant as the author had when investigating Oklahoma tornadoes in
the original Technical Memorandum, nor does the author have the resources that were
available to the original creators of the database. Therefore, the database was
given an even greater "benefit of the doubt" than in the original Technical
Memorandum that dealt with Oklahoma and the NWS Norman County Warning Area (CWA).
An entry is only listed in Section A of this addendum ("database likely incorrect")
when the latitude and longitude path listed in the database itself confirmed the
path listed in Storm Data and verified the county or counties listed in Storm Data
and therefore inconsistent with the county or counties listed in the database.
In other cases, the differences are listed in section B to make the user aware that
there is an inconsistency between Storm Data and the database. In a number of cases,
the database makes what are believed to be correct changes to what had been listed
in Storm Data, and these changes are listed in section C.
Storm Data entries, especially historic ones, are occasionally confusing and not always
easily correlated with specific database entries. Although every effort has been made to
make the entries on this page accurate, confusion from Storm Data entries or the author's
unfamiliarity with local geography may introduce sources of error in this list. Users are
urged to use this addendum only as a guide.
In the listings below, green indicated the county (counties) that are likely
correct. Red indicated the county (counties) that are likely incorrect. Entries in
blue indicate it is not known which entry is likely correct.
| A. Database likely incorrect
|
|---|
| SPC Tornado Number | Date | County/counties listed | Affected WFO
|
|---|
|
TX 59- 29 | 5/10/1959. | DB: Burleson/ Milam SD: BURLESON | HOU, FTW
|
|---|
| near Chriesman... Hix and Blackjack. All of these communities are in Burleson
Co. Database lat/lon also confines path to within Burleson Co.
|
|
TX 59- 43 | 5/25/1959. | DB: Webb SD: WHEELER | CRP, AMA
|
|---|
| near Shamrock and Heald community. Likely coding error as Shamrock is in
Wheeler Co. Database lat/lon does place event too far west and in Gray Co
however.
|
|
TX 61- 64 | 6/ 3/1961. | DB: Oldham/ Rains SD: OLDHAM/ RANDALL | FTW, AMA
|
|---|
| W of Vega - SE of Wildorado; near Hollywood Road and Canyon Expressway.
Apparently a discontinuous path. Also apparently a coding error as Oldham and Rains are
not adjacent counties. Database lat/lon places endpoint near
Canyon in Randall County.
|
|
TX 63- 21 | 5/29/1963. | DB: Bailey/ Hockley SD: Terry Likely: TERRY/ HOCKLEY | LBB
|
|---|
| Near Needmore - near Ropesville. There are towns called Needmore in both
Terry and Bailey Counties. Path listed suggests that Terry County is
probably the correct Needmore in this case. Ropesville is in Hockley Co.
|
|
TX 63- 22 | 5/27/1963. | DB: Howard SD: LAMAR | MAF, FTW
|
|---|
| 7 W Paris. Likely coding error This is in Lamar County and database
lat/lon confirms.
|
|
TX 63- 62 | 7/25/1963. | DB/SD: Kleberg likely: JIM WELLS | CRP
|
|---|
| 20 SW Kingsville. Although database and Storm Data lists as Kleberg Co.
and Kingsville is in Kleberg Co., the location at 20 SW would be in Jim
Wells Co. This difference was noted by NWS/CRP.
|
|
TX 67- 28 | 4/20/1967. | DB:Ochiltree SD: PARKER | AMA, FTW
|
|---|
| Likely coding error. Storm Data and database lat/lon place event near
Springtown in Parker County.
|
|
TX 67- 33 | 5/ 1/1967. | DB:Wood SD: TITUS | SHV
|
|---|
| Storm Data and database lat/lon show tornado west of Mt. Pleasant in Titus
County.
|
|
TX 67- 65 | 6/ 1/1967. | DB:Lubbock/ Hockley. SD: LUBBOCK | LBB
|
|---|
| Storm Data and database lat/lon show event near the city of Lubbock. Storm
Data entry includes Hockley Co. in the "Tornado, wind, hail, rainstorm and
flash flooding" entry, although the tornado is described only at the
outskirts of the city of Lubbock in Lubbock Co. Database lat/lon also does
not extend path into Hockley Co.
|
|
TX 68- 95 | 8/14/1968. | DB:Lubbock SD: ROBERTS | LBB, AMA
|
|---|
| Likely coding error. Storm Data and database lat/lon place event 5 NW
Miami in Roberts County.
|
|
TX 69- 18 | 4/27/1969. | DB:Harris SD: RUSK | HOU, SHV
|
|---|
| Likely coding error. Storm Data and database lat/lon place event near
Lake Striker or 20 SW Henderson, which places event in Rusk County.
|
|
TX 70- 77 | 8/ 4/1970. | DB:Galveston SD: BRAZORIA | HOU
|
|---|
| Likely coding error. Storm data and database lat/lon place event in Alvin
which is in Brazoria County.
|
|
TX 71-115 | 7/ 6/1971. | DB:Baylor SD: BOWIE | OKC, SHV
|
|---|
| Near Red Springs. Wrong Red Springs used in the database. There is a Red Springs
in Baylor County, however Storm Data text specifically references a Red Springs
that is 8 miles east of Texarkana and in Bowie County. Reference Tech. Memo.
|
|
TX 71-169 | 12/14/1971. | DB:Tarrant SD: CORYELL | FTW
|
|---|
| Database lists a tornado on 12/12/71 1710 CST 0.1 mi 17 yds with 2 inj in Tarrant
Co which was not found in Storm Data. A tornado listed in Storm Data NW of
Copperas Cove in Coryell Co. was not in the database. The database lat/lon
associated with this record indicates that this should have been the Copperas
Cove entry. So details were changed to match Storm Data entry.
|
|
TX 71-170 | 12/14/1971. | TARRANT | FTW
|
|---|
| Database lists this event near Mansfield as 12/12/1971 while Storm Data lists as
12/14/1971. There was a outbreak of tornadoes in the metroplex on 12/14/1971 so
this is presumed to be the correct day. There is a lot of disagreement in specific
details of the tornadoes in Storm Data and the database for the tornadoes on this day
in path length/width and injuries.
|
|
TX 72- 48 | 5/10/1972. | DB:Rockwell SD: RUNNELS | FTW, SJT

disagrees with the Washington Co listed in the database.
|
|
TX 76-165 | 8/31/1976. | DB:Comal SD: WILLIAMSON | SAT
|
|---|
| Storm Data places tornado 4 ENE Taylor. Database lat/lon places tornado

|
|
TX 86- 46 | 5/ 7/1986 | DB:Hemphill SD: LIPSCOMB | AMA
|
|---|
| NW of Canadian. Canadian is in Hemphill County. County of tornado
depends on how far NW of Canadian the tornado was. According to the
high detail mapping in the "Outstanding Storm of the Month" section,
this tornado is 17 NNW Canadian (or about 12 SW Lipscomb) and would be

TX 89-121 | 6/ 7/1989 | DB:Rusk SD: RUSK/ PANOLA | SHV
|
|---|
| Storm Data lists path as 1.5 NE - 4.5 ENE Shiloh. Roads of Texas shows a
small community or cemetery of Shiloh about 4 miles ESE of Minden. The path
as listed with this reference would include Rusk and Panola Counties. Database
lat/lon shows tornado wholly in Panola County west to northeast of Dotson which
is inconsistent with the Rusk County entry in the database.
| |
TX 90- 22 | 4/ 5/1990 | DB:Eastland SD: EASTLAND/ COMANCHE | FTW
|
|---|
| Storm Data lists path as 1 E - 3 E Gorman which would include both

|
|---|
| Storm data lists as 18 NE "and" 6.5 NE Muleshoe. Muleshoe and a point 6.5 NE
Muleshoe are in Bailey Co., but 18 NE is in Castro Co. Database lat/lon only
uses 18 NE.
|
|
TX 59- 61 | 7/10/1959. | DB: Hutchinson SD: Hansford/ Frio | AMA, SAT
|
|---|
| Storm Data lists path as "between Spearman and Moore". Spearman is in Hansford
Co. in the northern Texas panhandle, and Moore is in Frio Co. in south Texas.
However, description should likely be "between Spearman and Morse" as Morse
is in Hansford Co. SW of Spearman. A reference to McKibben in the Storm Data
text confirms this location. However, database lat/lon places event SW of
Borger in Hutchinson Co. Likely Hansford.

| Storm Data lists this entry with TX 62-45 which was in Gillespie County south
of Fredericksburg, but then says "another tornado, or probably the same one,
touched ground in the Cypress Creek area of Kendall County nearer Comfort..."
Database lat/lon places both tornadoes south of Fredericksburg in Gillespie Co.

| Storm Data list 4 tornadoes (TX 62-75 through 62-78) in Briscoe County - two
tornadoes south of Silverton (one specifically 11 SSE Silverton), one west
of Silverton, one east of Quitaque. Database lat/lons account for three
tornadoes very near Silverton and places #62-76 south of Silverton and just
inside Floyd Co. while not accounting for the tornado east of Quitaque.
Database also lists two tornadoes as F2 even though the tornado 11 SSE
Silverton is the only one described in Storm Data as causing significant
damage. Likely Briscoe Co.
