Location: BINGER
Tornado F-scale: F0
Property damage: 0
Reported by: STORM CHASER

This tornado was observed by several storm chasers 6.5 miles west of Binger in Caddo County just north of State Route 152. During the early stages of its development, the tornado was embedded in rapidly rotating rain curtains believed to have been upwards of 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile wide, however the tornado which eventually emerged was estimated to be only 100 yards wide. As the tornado dissipated, while crossing State Route 152, several vortices formed, which rapidly evolved into one, small, rope-like funnel. No damage was observed or reported, and thus the tornado was rated F0.
