Event narrative (NOAA)

This tornado formed approximately six miles west of Truscott and initially moved just north of due east with occasional damage to mesquite trees. As it approached County Road 2610 and FM 1756 a semi truck was knocked over, and a 4000 pound cattle feeder was blown about 850 feet to the north-northeast. Two structures on the southeast side of Truscott-Brine Lake received roof and window damage. Utility poles were broken from the area just southeast of Truscott-Brine Lake to State Highway 6, including steel utility poles that were bent. The tornado weakened and then dissipated after crossing Highway 6.
