Tornadoes on the ground: remembering a deadly day as it happened

AUSTIN (KXAN) — This weekend the community of Jarrell will observe the anniversary of one of the worst tragedies in Central Texas history. It’s been 20 years since a massive tornado wiped out the Double Creek Estates subdivision, taking 27 lives.
The Jarrell tornado packed winds estimated at more than 260 miles per hour, giving the twister an F5 rating. Before that day, there had never been an F5 tornado recorded in our part of Texas.
