In about Oct. of 96 there was a very small tornado that hit one
appartment building in South Dallas.  The first report came from a
citizen calling 9-1-1.  It was forwarded to us, we checked with the
NWS who did not see anything that indicated a tornado, but a fire unit
did verify damage.  The funnel formed, hit this one building doing a
lot of superficial damage then went back up into the coulds.  It was
probably an F0 or F1.  

Generally our rule is, if we get citizen reports we contact the NWS,
and then will ask either Police of Fire if they have anyone in the
area who can verify.
