20:10Z EF0 KMPX MN Pope Villard A few boats were flipped, a shed was damaged and shingles were blown off a roof near Amelia Lake.
23:08Z EF0 KUEX KS Ottawa Tescott Off duty NWS employee reported a brief tornado that lasted around 90 seconds in an open field.
23:09Z EF0 KMPX MN Stearns St Anthony A trained spotter video taped a tornado near Highway 238 and Universal Road, northeast of St. Anthony. Other pictures and video determined that it traveled a little over three miles, occasionally touching down along the way. Scattered trees were blown down, and a small amount of tin was peeled off a barn roof. No other structures were hit and no injuries occurred.
00:07Z EF3 KTWX KS Ottawa Niles The 26 mile long violent tornado began 1-2 miles NNE of Niles Kansas and destroyed 2 homes in Ottawa county before crossing into Dickinson county. The tornado produced high end EF3 damage in extreme eastern Ottawa county. Only 3 minor injuries were reported but none requiring a trip to the hospital.
00:20Z EF4 KTWX KS Dickinson Solomon The long track violent tornado began 1-2 miles NNE of Niles Kansas and destroyed 2 homes in Ottawa county before crossing into Dickinson county north of Solomon. The tornado tracked 2-3 miles north of the city of Abilene following a meandering path approximately east along 2700 avenue in Dickinson county before veering southeast and crossing interstate 70 approx. 2 miles west of the city of Chapman. The tornado then moved ESE and then east along a path around 1 mile south of Chapman destroying 1 farmstead and several other homes in the area. The worst damage was done to a farmstead 1 mile southwest of Chapman along old highway 40 where the home was destroyed and all outbuildings were blown away. The sub floor of the home was removed from a bolted sill plate and the poured concrete foundation was cracked on the south side exposing the rebar where the strongest forces from the lifting structure occurred as it was being removed and blown away likely occurred. Much of the brick facade of the home did remain where it fell around the structure however so the area was not swept clean. Winds approaching 200 mph were likely in this area while a woman home at the time took shelter in the basement and was ok with only superficial injuries. The approximate number of minor injuries was 5 reported to NWS however none required a hospital visit. Photos of the damage are available off of the NWS damage assessment toolkit website at https://apps.dat.noaa.gov/StormDamage/DamageViewer/ .
02:27Z EF1 KTWX KS Morris Dwight The 3rd tornado of the day that was spawned by the long lived supercell occurred just east of Dwight and tracked ESE doing damage to barns and power poles along the path. The track is based on local storm reports and radar data with input from Emergency Managers.
02:53Z EF2 KVNX OK Garfield Carrier A tornado was observed to develop approximately 3 miles west-northwest of Carrier and initially moved northeast. Near the beginning of the tornado path, 19 empty rail cars were blown from a siding onto the main line. A very large tree was downed across Great Lakes Road about 3/4 of a mile west of State Highway 132. Otherwise, the tornado traveled over wheat fields and the specific damage path is estimated, but chaser reports suggest the tornado turned north-northeast and then north after the initial northeast movement, and remained west of State Highway 132.
03:25Z EF1 KTWX KS Wabaunsee Eskridge The 4th and final tornado of the day was produced by the same long lived supercell thunderstorm that produced all other tornadoes. This tornado did damage to one structure and to power poles along its path. The tornado was reported to be on the ground at K-99 and K-31 by law enforcement and it dissipated around one half mile east of this location.
