Two injuries were reported by law enforcement. There's no word yet on their conditions.
According to the National Weather Service, the tornado is determined using the Enhanced Fujita Scale, or EF Scale.
When tornado-related damage is surveyed, it is compared to a list of damage indicators and degrees of damage, which help better the range of wind speeds the tornado likely produced.
According to the report, a short-lived EF1 tornado with maximum estimated winds of 100 miles per hour impacted the Rock Creek Subdivision in Trinity.
Based on radar estimates, NWS officials said the tornado was on the ground for one to two minutes, and left a path of just under a third of a mile.
According to the scale, an EF1 tornado shows between 86 to 110 mile per hour winds.
The National Weather Service also confirmed a tornado touched down west of Route 90 between Bedias and Madisonville in Grimes and Madison Counties. However, it's unknown what the details are on that tornado as the National Weather Service will be sending out crews on Tuesday to investigate further.
Numerous roadways in Trinity County were impassable on Sunday night due to the torrential rainfall.
