degrees to the right of the upper wind flow and tracking due southeast across Briscoe, Floyd, Motley, Cottle, King, Knox,
and Haskell Counties. As this supercell crossed the Floyd and Motley County line at 7:20 PM, strong tornadic signatures
became evident on the Lubbock WSR-74C weather radar. It wasnt until 7:44 PM that storm spotters with the Matador Fire
Department observed a tornado develop five miles WNW of Matador moving toward the city. This F3 tornado hit Matador at
7:52 PM destroying 27 homes
