At 3:42 PM on May 27, 1997, a violent funnel cloud approached the small subdivision of Double Creek Estates, just outside the town of Jarrell, Texas. Winds exceeding 260 mph tore through the homes as the ground shook under the force of an F5 tornado—the most powerful classification.

Entire homes were lifted from their foundations, leaving only barren, scoured earth in their place. Trees, cars, and debris were swallowed by the vortex, vanishing into the storm’s chaos.

As the tornado slowed and hovered over Jarrell, the landscape was transformed into a horrifying wasteland, littered with the remains of anything and everything that had been swept in its path. The devastation was unparalleled, marking one of the darkest days in Central Texas weather history.

This is the story of the Jarrell Texas, 1997 tornado.
