10-24-02 71 79 2.94* 68 72 1.36 ******ONE DEAD IN CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI DUE TO TORNADO****** POWERFUL TORNADOS RIP ACROSS THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI... RECORD DAILY RAINFALL SET AT CORPUS CHRISTI INTL. AIRPORT. OVER 6 INCHES OF RAINFALL AT N.A.S. CORPUS CHRISTI. MASSIVE FLASH FLOODING DUE TO 3'+ AN HOUR RAINFALL RATES A stalled out frontal boundary, combined with plentiful tropical moisture and low upper level winds provided the perfect ingredients for a historic day weatherwise across the city of Corpus Christi. 3 tornados were believed to have touched down in the city, all from the same severe thunderstorm. One tornado was rated an F-0, touched down at 2:32 p.m. near Old Brownsville road. Estimated at under 50 yards wide, it was the weakest and smallest of the tornados. The second, and the most powerful one was rated an F-2 and moved across the Del Mar west Campus, leaving one person dead. This tornado touched down at 2:40 p.m. and was estimated between 100 and 200 yards wide. This tornado moved northwest from Navigation Blvd. to the Gabe Lozano Golf Corse The 3rd tornado was rated an F-2, also devolped at 2:40 p.m. and moved along a path generally from a Driscoll Middle School to the H.E.B. grocery store and the U.S. Post Office on Leopard Street. It eventually disapated at 2:50 p.m. in the Nueces Bay and was the widest of the 3 tornados at 400 yards. These tornados caused a minimum of 75 million dollars worth of damage. Although many homes were damaged, a large amount of this is due to the damage to the Del Mar West Campus. Synopsis: During the heat of the day, very powerful thunderstorms erupted across the coastal bend, along with isolated supercell thunderstorms along and ahead of the boundary. These severe thunderstorms were also extremely heavy rain producers with hourly rainfall rates reaching and exceeding 3 inches per hour at times.
