Description: Texas tornado caught on camera April 13, 2019 in Lovelady Texas. *NOT FOR REBROADCAST* COPYRIGHT 2019 PECOS HANK LLC To license footage contact hankschyma@gmail.com This tornado was ongoing by 12:24pm about 3.5 miles west of Lovelady Texas. It appeared larger when I first spotted it in the distance through a break in the trees 2 miles south of highway 1280. It was heading my general direction and caught on camera for about 3 minutes before it weakened. It then appeared to decay just after crossing that highway where it laid down several trees. The storm then heading toward Crockett Texas. Many residents were evacuating south on highway 19. An odd choice of escape considering the tornado would have paralleled closely that highway before crossing it, had it still been on the ground. This storm system would go on to drop tornadoes in Alto Texas. This was the second tornado I caught on camera this day. The first was a heavily rain wrapped tornado near Ratcliff Texas around 11:30am. Around the same time, a powerful tornado would pass through the town of Franklin Texas. After the Lovelady storm passed over Crockett Texas, the cells began merging into a bow echo. For two hours I tried to get in front of the line surging approximately 50pmh, but heavy rain, strong wind made it very difficult to drive any faster. It also didn't help that I had to reroute due to numerous large trees completely blocking passage. After the forth or fifth detour, the timely pursuit of the storms moving into Louisiana was impossible. This strong system carried on through the day, evening and night into Dixie Alley where it was continue to sporadically spawn tornadoes.
