Event narrative (NOAA)
This tornado developed just north of FM-1919 about 2.5 miles northwest of the Seymour airport and initially moved south destroying farm buildings and equipment. As the tornado approached FM-2069, it veered sharply and began moving east along and north of FM-2069 damaging the roof of a home and heavily damaging some outbuildings. The tornado continued moving east through the Seymour Municipal Airport destroying hangars, planes and vehicles at the airport. The tornado likely continued east and northeast from the airport, but this area was inaccessible to the ground survey team.
