Storms Pummel Area

Storms Pummel Area
A tree on the playground of Sulphur Elementary School was uprooted by strong wind associated with a tornado-warned thunderstorm that blew through Sulphur and surrounding locations last Tuesday. Below, a wall cloud was captured in another tornado-warned storm the week before, however little damage was reported from that cell. In both storms, sirens were sounded in Sulphur.

Tornado-warned storms nearly two weeks ago and then last Tuesday sent Sulphur residents fleeing to their shelters, but only scattered damage to trees, power lines and out buildings was reported.

On Friday, April 24, a strong circulation was reported west of Davis headed east, southeast.

A tornado associated with that storm moved over Davis and into Sulphur in the late afternoon hours, as warning sirens sounded in both communities. The circulation did not reach the ground, however, and minimal damage was reported. Large hail was reported in northwestern parts of the county.
