431 NOUS44 KAMA 292254 PNSAMA OKZ001>003-TXZ001>020-317-301100- Public Information Statement National Weather Service Amarillo TX 554 PM CDT Mon Jun 29 2026 ...NWS Damage Survey for 06/25/26 Severe and Tornado Event... .Overview...Powerful supercell storms move across the eastern Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles on the afternoon and evening of June 25th. One supercell produced a weak tornado that tracked across areas around 5 miles west of Alison, Texas. The adjacent supercell to the south tracked across the city of Wheeler. Wheeler experienced the core of the storm while the rotation associated with the supercell tracked about 5-6 miles south of the city. The rear flank downdraft of the supercell created a powerful wind gust that was even apparent on radar as it deformed the backside of the storm structure. These northwest winds cause significant damage to some locations on the west side of Wheeler. .5 West Allison - June 25, 2026... Rating: EF1 Estimated Peak Wind: 90 mph Path Length /statute/: 2.39 miles Path Width /maximum/: 50 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 06/25/2026 Start Time: 06:59 PM CDT Start Location: 4 W Allison / Wheeler County / TX Start Lat/Lon: 35.6064 / -100.176 End Date: 06/25/2026 End Time: 07:08 PM CDT End Location: 5 WSW Allison / Wheeler County / TX End Lat/Lon: 35.5727 / -100.1796 Survey Summary: A damage path was discovered across northern wheeler county associated with a supercell circulation suggesting a weak tornado. In addition, a storm chaser documented a periodic funnel clouds with the storm and although it didn't fully condense to the ground, there was periodic dust picked up below at the surface. Isolated damage indicators provided challenges for the survey, however a relatively narrow path of damage mainly consisting of snapped large tree limbs did exits west to southwest of Alison. There was one small out building destroyed as well, but the EF1 tornado rating was based on snapped power poles early in the track. Otherwise, most of the path was EF0 damage. .Wheeler Downburst - 6/25/2026... Rating: TSTM/Wind Estimated Peak Wind: 100 mph Path Length /statute/: 3.92 miles Path Width /maximum/: 1800 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 1 Start Date: 06/25/2026 Start Time: 08:00 PM CDT Start Location: 1 NW Wheeler / Wheeler County / TX Start Lat/Lon: 35.452 / -100.2894 End Date: 06/28/2026 End Time: 08:05 PM CDT End Location: 3 SSE Wheeler / Wheeler County / TX End Lat/Lon: 35.404 / -100.2554 Survey Summary: A combination of a storm survey, eyewitness reports, and radar data indicates that damage from a severe storm across western Wheeler was caused by a strong rear-flank downdraft on the backside of a powerful supercell. The path of the most significant damage was approximately one mile wide. The most severe damage occurred in an RV park, where 16 unanchored travel trailers were rolled and destroyed. The south end of the trailer park was downstream from open areas, which likely contributed to higher wind speeds and greater damage in that specific section of the park. One injury was reported, but most residents had either evacuated to a shelter or were not home at the time. An overturned pickup truck at the site was likely pushed over by adjacent rolling trailers. Other damage included snapped power poles, numerous broken large tree limbs, and a few uprooted trees. Several homes and businesses sustained significant roof damage, including metal buildings that were compromised after their overhead doors failed. Most well-constructed or newer structures sustained only minor damage or remained unscathed. Peak wind speeds are estimated to have been near 100 mph. && EF Scale: The Enhanced Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes into the following categories: EF0.....65 to 85 mph EF1.....86 to 110 mph EF2.....111 to 135 mph EF3.....136 to 165 mph EF4.....166 to 200 mph EF5.....>200 mph NOTE: The information in this statement is preliminary and subject to change pending final review of the events and publication in NWS Storm Data. $$
