Local Weather History For April 16th...

An interesting oddity occurred near Wichita Falls on April 16, 1977.
A weak tornado not only developed from a weak shower, as no lightning
or thunder was noticed, but the tornado then proceeded to move toward
the west, though most tornadoes move toward the east. The tornado was
accompanied by a loud roar as it moved through largely uninhabited
areas just west of Wichita Falls.
