Survey Summary:
Park employees traveling on I-10 sent in a picture of a tornado in 
rural portions of Pecos County south of the interstate. Other 
pictures from county EMS and from a nearby gas plant were received 
shortly after. The tornado tracked near the gas plant and a pipeline 
construction site. However, despite the presence of potential damage 
indicators, Pecos County emergency management was unable to find any 
damage or a damage path. The tornado was therefore rated EF-Unknown. 
The approximate tornado track is estimated from radar. The width of 
the tornado is also estimated.
