2020 Tyler-White Oak-Judson, Texas Tornado (Dixie)

On the evening of Sunday, January 26, 2020, an EF3 tornado carved through the city of Tyler, Texas, as well as areas around Longview, Texas, with peak winds estimated at 165 mph, killing 12 people and injuring 20 others. The tornado was part of a larger weather system that had produced several other tornadoes across the Southern and Eastern U.S. between January 26-28.

The tornado touched down in Tyler at 00:11 UTC, and stayed on the ground for 1 hour and 13 minutes over a 64-mile path, sweeping through parts of Tyler, White Oak, Judson, and surrounding areas before lifting just north of Jefferson. The tornado was just under 3/4 of a mile wide at its peak. While the tornado was not as violent as other tornadoes which occurred during the outbreak, the death toll was higher likely due to it occurring in the night hours.
