16:30Z EFU KDMX IA Marshall La Moille Brief QLCS tornado on leading edge of convection through agricultural fields. Path found via high resolution satellite imagery. The tornado impacted no damage indicators, hence the EFU rating.
16:36Z EFU KDMX IA Marshall Minerva Brief tornado captured from post event UAS survey. Stayed in cropland with no impacts to damage indicators, hence the EFU rating.
16:39Z EF1 KDMX IA Marshall Marietta Tornado initially found from high resolution satellite imagery and confirmed via UAS overflight. Damage was done to crop and trees. Some minor damage to housing structures as well, but mostly superficial.
17:01Z EFU KDMX IA Tama Gladbrook Tornado associated with QLCS derecho first observed via high resolution satellite imagery. Path was also overflown by UAS confirming convegent path of debris. No damage indicators were impacted, hence the EFU designation.
17:31Z EFU KDVN IA Linn (cid)cedar Rapids Ar A brief tornado moved through cropland just north of the Eastern Iowa Airport. The path was found in high resolution satellite imagery. The tornado was on the leading edge of a larger swath of straight line winds that snapped trees and destroyed outbuildings and grain bins. There was no damage directly attributable to the tornado from which an EF-scale rating could be assigned. Thus, the tornado is designated EF-U.

22:55Z EF1 KIWX IN Kosciusko North Webster Trees were snapped west of State Route 13 as the tornado touched down. The tornado pushed over 2 power poles as it crossed SR 13, then continued southeast, causing a notable path of snapped trees and broken limbs. The debris was scattered throughout a nearby church parking lot. The church sustained minor loss of roof covering. Additional areas of tree damage were noted farther to the east-southeast. Some homes sustained damage as a result of falling trees and branches. The tornado crossed Webster Lake, coming onshore around EMS W17 Lane, where extensive tree damage occurred.
