NEWTON, Texas — An EF-1 tornado ripped through parts of Newton County Wednesday, according to a damage survey from the National Weather Service.
The tornado touched down along the southern end of the Toledo Bend reservoir with an estimated peak wind speed of 110 mph.
It caused damage to the roofs of homes and camps, several boat docks, barns, and snapped numerous pine trees, according to a preliminary review from the NWS.
