Tornadoes Tear Through Plum Grove Area in Liberty County, Texas, During Severe Weather
Two tornadoes touched down in the Plum Grove area of Liberty County, Texas, on Tuesday during severe weather, according to a confirmation from the National Weather Service (NWS). The storms brought heavy debris and damage to several properties in the region.
Eyewitnesses reported seeing trees and power lines come crashing down as the tornadoes tore through the area. Investigators used a drone to assess the damage, finding broken pine trunks and branches in a wooded area, as well as downed fencing. However, the poles supporting the power lines remained standing.
The NWS confirmed that two separate tornadoes formed from the same storm system, with one touching down approximately 5,000 feet away from the other near Farm to Market 1010 and Wooden Lane. The first tornado was short-lived, lasting less than a minute and reaching wind speeds of up to 80 miles per hour. In contrast, the second tornado stretched for over 1.5 miles, with peak winds reaching up to 85 miles per hour.
The Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF-0) rated both tornadoes as preliminary EF-0 ratings, indicating minimal damage. However, the severe weather caused significant disruption in the area, particularly in the Bella Vista subdivision, where several metal structures and trees were damaged.
The Liberty County area experienced heavy debris, with SkyEye capturing images of scattered destruction throughout the day on Wednesday morning. As investigators continue to assess the damage, residents are left to pick up the pieces and recover from the devastating impact of these two tornadoes that tore through their community.

... but then again, all those trees and power lines coming crashing down is super scary 
. And, like, why did both tornadoes only cause minimal damage? That doesn't seem right, you know? 
I mean, the wind speeds were pretty intense too! 
80 miles per hour and 85 miles per hour?! Whoa... but also, I guess it's good that some metal structures weren't damaged or anything 
. Wait, no... that just sounds like bad luck to me 
.
just can't believe what's happening in Texas right now... two tornadoes hit this small town in Liberty County and it's like a war zone out there 
trees are down everywhere, power lines are all over the place... how do people even rebuild from this? And it's not even like they got much damage, just EF-0 ratings which is basically 'no big deal'. Newsflash: 80 miles per hour winds and heavy debris ain't no joke 
. I'm sure it's tough for everyone affected to see their homes and businesses destroyed like that... my heart goes out to them 
I mean, think about it, two tornadoes did touch down in Liberty County, but they didn't seem too destructive right? The wind speeds were only like 80 miles per hour or so and not even as bad as some of the other storms that went through there last year. And yeah, a few trees and power lines got knocked over, but it's not like a whole neighborhood was destroyed or anything. 
Plus, those poles supporting the power lines stayed standing, which is pretty cool, right? 
The fact that they were only EF-0 rated means there's minimal damage, and the people affected are probably already on top of getting back to normal life in no time. 
and i'm thinking about all the people who got affected by this, gotta feel bad for them. hope everyone is safe and getting the help they need 
those drones are so cool, but kinda sad to see the destruction they captured, like a war zone or something 
Ugh, can't believe this is happening in Texas again... Tornadoes causing destruction & debris everywhere... people's homes & businesses ruined... 
. We should always be prepared for the unexpected! 
And yeah, it's no good when homes and businesses get damaged like that 
. Guess we'll just have to wait for the cleanup crew to show up 
.
️. and btw, has anyone seen that new rom-com coming out on Netflix? 
i need a good laugh after hearing about all this chaos
