The Tornado ReportAccording to a public information statement released by the National Weather Service of San Angelo, the supercell that hung over Coke County that fateful Friday actually produced two twisters. The first tornado, which had an EF2 rating, touched down 3 miles south-southwest of Silver at 3:40 p.m. The Silver tornado damaged a private property just north of FM 2029, ripping off the roof of a ranch house but leaving the walls standing. The Silver twister was on the stronger end of this range, however. “Anything rated EF2 or higher is considered a strong tornado,” Castillo said.
