1 person was killed and 50 injured as a tornado destroyed 180 homes and damaged 250 others in Orange.  This was the fourth significant tornado (F2+) in Southeast Texas this evening, and appears to have been the most intense.  About 115 of the destroyed homes were in the Riverside Housing Project.  9 ships and 3 barges were torn from their moorings.  (Grazulis 1993)

This tornado remains the strongest ever recorded in Southeast Texas.  The official time of the tornado is inconsistent with other tornado reports in area and surface observations from Southeast Texas Regional Airport, and is likely in error (probably around 2130 CST).
