Tornado in JONES, TEXAS
From 23-MAY-23 20:13:00 to 23-MAY-23 20:47:00 (CST-6)
Location: FUNSTON
Tornado F-scale: EF2
Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

A supercell thunderstorm moving slowly southward through eastern Jones County
produced a weak tornado 2 miles east of Funston around 9:13pm.
Very little, if any, damage occurred during this phase of the
event. At about 9:40pm, the tornado was moving southwestward
before it was intercepted by an eastward-moving bow echo about 2
miles south of Funston. The bow echo pushed the tornado back
northeastward and the circulation rapidly intensified for about
five minutes. During this time, the tornado widened and caused
significant damage to some homes at the intersection of CR376 and
CR364. Two manufactured homes were rolled and or completely
destroyed. It was noted that the hurricane straps failed on one of
the manufactured homes, causing it to roll off of its foundation.
A small single-family residence sustained significant roof damage
and caused an enclosed porch to become detached from the home.
The tornado continued northeastward for nearly a mile before
becoming fully absorbed into the straight-line winds of the bow
echo at about 9:47 pm.
