TORNADO #3
At 3:32 PM the same supercell that produced the tornado at Sugarland spawned a second tornado near Crosby. The tornado first touched down on the
eastern shore of Lake Houston and moved northeast into extreme western Liberty County. This tornado was mostly F0 and F1 with some F2 damage at Foley Rd
and Dallas Rd where a boat house was severely damaged. An 18 Wheeler in the same area was turned over and moved 50 feet by the tornado. This tornado
was on the ground for 12 miles and damage path was 1/4 mile wide at its strongest stage.
