Looks like Wichita Falls TX was an F4.

An F4 also spun-up on this day, but it wasn't in Texas - neither was the F3 mentioned earlier.

So I'm guessing all guesses to this point are wrong since we're still posting??? LOL
 
It's not the April 2, 1957 Dallas F3 is it?

No, I'll give the year...1974. Areas already mentioned in this thread-N TX, and the Upper Midwest both saw tornadoes.

I'll post a map of the tracks in another hour or so.

Hmmmm, it isn't 1974.


That sounds pretty good, Mike

I'm lost on this one, lol. That sounds pretty good because it isn't? I hope you aren't saying that is it because I looked at a map somewhere and 500mb was much stronger than this one.

Not all 1974 tornadoes spun-up during the Super Outbreak. This event was much smaller.

Ok, now I'm just grasping at straws....this is my last guess:

August 12, 1974
 
Man late March and April in 1974 was a good time to be a chaser in IL.
 
APRIL 21, 1974

F4 In WI and Tornadoes in N TX... Hope this is it, it's near my target.

Yep. Good job. Now to figure out what happened that day..

edit: Duh, you said. tornadoes in N TX.. now where in NTX. That ABI ob at 18z still looks interesting...
