Tornado in WILBARGER, TEXAS
From 23-APR-21 17:13:00 to 23-APR-21 17:22:00 (CST-6)
Location: LOCKETT
Tornado F-scale: EF2
Property damage: 75.00K
Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

This tornado initially developed in southeast Hardeman County and moved into Wilbarger County west of Lockett. This may have been a series of tornadoes across southeast Hardeman and far western Wilbarger Counties as the condensation funnel was not visible at times. However one chaser reported observing surface circulation continue even when the condensation funnel was not visible, so it is being documented here as a single tornado. The tornado became more visible and stronger west of Lockett as it was coming out of the breaks of the Pease River. The tornado hit a farmstead about 3 miles west of Lockett where a home suffered significant damage, outbuildings were destroyed or heavily damaged, and vehicles and farm implements were displaced, including a pick-up truck tossed 100 yards to the south-southwest. The tornado then turned eastward and was observed to dissipate just west of the town of Lockett.

The second of the twin tornadoes moved southeast across southeastern Hardeman County. No damage is known to have occurred as the tornado moved through breaks north of the Pease River. As it moved through southeastern Hardeman County and into Wilbarger County, this may have been a series of tornadoes as the visual condensation funnel was not visible at times. One storm chaser reported seeing surface circulation continue through many times where the condensation funnel was not visible, so it is being documented as a continuous tornado here from the initial development in Hardeman County to west of Lockett in Wilbarger County.
