Tornado outbreak of June 8, 1995

In total, 29 tornadoes were recorded during that day, with 23 being in Western Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle.

One cyclic supercell in the Texas Panhandle produced at least 5 of those 23 tornadoes[1], while another spawned at least 8.

[1]: 4  These conditions lead to several tornadic supercells, which were studied by the VORTEX project.

[4] Per Thomas P. Grazulis, the F4 rating is based on movement of industrial equipment, as only F2-F3 damage occurred in Pampa because the tornado had weakened by then.

Several reports of large hail were made in Texas and Oklahoma, with the largest being 4.5 inches.
