NWS confirmed Saturday, an EF-3 tornado touched down in Lamar County just after 4 p.m. Friday with wind speeds of up to 160 mph. The track was about 21 miles and stretched into Oklahoma.
“About that time, we heard our windows breaking out on the side of the house. The house popped, and we can hear stuff going into the ceiling. We got holes in the roof,” Springer said. “It knocked my mother-in-law’s car into my husband’s truck and broke out glasses in both vehicles.
Then we had a utility trailer right behind my husband’s truck that was in our driveway. It picked it up and dropped it off the side of the yard.”“If he had gotten home 10 minutes before, he would have been hit,” Harmon said. “When I came around the corner yesterday when he told me something was wrong, I didn’t even recognize it. I almost drove by the house because you’re used to seeing these big old trees here, and their house.
