This afternoon, the National Weather Service's Fort Worth office sent out this note, which says that after doing a little more post-storm surveying over the weekend they've discovered a grand total of 10 twisters touched down last week, with additional damage having been discovered in Parker and Tarrant Counties. Both tornadoes have been classified EF-0, which means winds were somewhere between 65 and 85 miles per hour for at least three sustained seconds.
The NWS has a complete Top 10 now, with the strongest storm still the EF-2 in Denton. Says the wrap-up: "This also increases the number of confirmed tornadoes for 2011 to 39."
