Interesting, Pampa's movement was also similar to Jarrell's, in how after touching down it moved at a slow to moderate pace, briefly sped up, became stationary for several minutes while sitting on a human structure (in this case Pampa's industrial park) then resumed moving forward for a couple more miles than abruptly dissipating.I looked at GR Level 3 data for the event, and the supercell responsible for the Pampa tornado seemed to be along a "boundary" of some sort, extremely similar to the Jarrell setup of 97. That may play a part in the tornado's erratic movement.
Also, this is pretty crazy, an F3 tornado struck the Pampa Industrial Yard in 1982, exact same location as the 1995 storm: http://www.depts.ttu.edu/nwi/Pubs/ReportsJournals/ReportsJournals/D5-19-82-Tor-pampa.pdf
