“The storm came out of no where.  It must have formed due to the extremely high summer temperatures the past month.  No one saw this coming,” said Robert James, KPTX meteorologist.

“It is not unheard of, but with the high pressure cell over Texas, it was unexpected and did not fit any of the computer projections.”   The greatest surprise were the formation of “small tornadic cells,” that struck downtown Pinebox and caused extensive damage to roofs and windows in the area.

“I think we are safe from any further development, at least for a while.”
