This morning at about 6:30am, just before the bus came through, a small tornado touched down just east of Lakeshore Dr between the McLarey’s and Pyle’s homes; several large pines were twisted off or blown down and a lot of debris was blown off the trees there.

A pine in the Fain’s front yard was broken off and the top stuck deep in the ground. A wooden fence was blown down between the Welch’s and the Terrell’s. Fortunately, other than that fence and a few missing shingles, no significant property damage was reported. There was damage reported in other parts of Tyler, though, and Terry McLarey was featured tonight on Channel 7 TV talking about the experience (hey Terry, you did great!). Here is a link to the story. Here are a few photos of the damage.
