| 17:23Z | EF0 | KGRK | TX | Mclennan | Erath | A brief EF-0 tornado occurred along Wisdom Ct west of Waco. Fences were damaged and large tree limbs were broken. Maximum estimated winds were 80 mph. |
| 17:26Z | EF1 | KGRK | TX | Mclennan | Erath | A second tornado from the same supercell occurred west of Waco damaging neighborhoods on either side of Wortham Bend Road near China Spring Rd. Damage in these neighborhoods consisted of damaged trees, downed fences, broken windows, and mostly minor roof damage. One home lost most of the front part of its roof, and a few homes were impaled with flying fence panels. Maximum estimated winds were 95 mph. |
| 17:32Z | EF1 | KUEX | NE | Sherman | Rockville | The second tornado of the day was first sighted out in a field south of Rockville, then moved north and cross the Middle Loup River. The tornado caused EF1 rated damage to a home and outbuildings just south of town. It then moved north along the east edge of Rockville and damaged trees, a couple of grain bins and outbuildings. It continued to move north roughly along Rockville Road and snapped several power poles. Based upon reports, the tornado likely dissipated in open country about four miles north of town. The EF1 rating and estimated peak wind speed of 105 MPH was assigned based upon the snapped power poles north of town. |
| 17:48Z | EF2 | KFWS | TX | Mclennan | Tours | A tornado developed north of Tours, just west of Berger Road. This tornado initially damaged trees and a shed, but strengthened as it crossed Czech Hall Road. The tornado hit a property on County Line Road causing EF-2 damage to a barn and a shop on the property. The tornado scattered heavy farm material into the field to the east. The tornado continued into Hill County crossing CR 3238 where an eye witness reported it dissipated before developing the next tornado. Maximum estimated winds were 110 to 115 mph. |
| 17:48Z | EF0 | KFWS | TX | Mclennan | Tours | A brief, weak tornado damaged trees west of Heritage Pkwy and south of Easy Rd northwest of Tours. Maximum estimated winds were 75 mph. |
| 17:52Z | EF0 | KUEX | NE | Howard | Farwell | An eyewitness, who provided photos, times, and detailed locations, documented a short-lived tornado south of Farwell in Howard County. This tornado occurred just prior to the development of the tornado which eventually passed near Elba. Along its curvy path, this nearly three mile long tornado overturned two center irrigation pivots and damaged some trees south of Farwell. Scouring along the ground was easily visible. The tornado dissipated just south of Farwell. |
| 17:58Z | EF3 | KUEX | NE | Howard | Farwell | Initially narrow, this tornado started south of Farwell with eyewitness reports, and would eventually turn into a large, EF3-rated tornado. The tornado moved across rural areas north of Farwell, causing tree damage and overturning center irrigation pivots. As the tornado emerged onto the North Loup River valley just west of Elba, it gained significant strength. Just west of Elba, a farmstead sustained heavy damage to a home, outbuildings and vehicles, among other items. A well-built metal building structure was was demolished, with extensive damage to the nearby home. Based upon damage indicators, this location was deemed to have the strongest winds, estimated to be 145 MPH, resulting in the EF3 rating. The tornado was estimated to be around 600 yards wide as it crossed Highway 11 just northwest of Elba. A long stretch of power poles was knocked down along Odell Road. The tornado eventually navigated across the North Loup River about 2.5 miles north of town. From that point, the tornado moved onto pasture ground. Based upon radar data, timing and lack of solid damage indicators, it is believed this tornado likely weakened as it moved north. |
| 17:59Z | EF2 | KFWS | TX | Hill | Birome | This entry is a continuation of the EF-2 tornado that started in McLennan County. A tornado developed north of Tours, just west of Berger Road. The tornado hit a property on County Line Road causing EF-2 damage to a barn and a shop on the property. The tornado scattered heavy farm material into the field to the east. The tornado continued northeast, crossing CR 3238 where an eye witness reported it dissipated before developing the next tornado. Maximum estimated winds were 110 to 115 mph. |
| 18:06Z | EF1 | KFWS | TX | Hill | Birome | The same supercell produced another brief tornado, based on eye witness accounts, on either side of FM 339 southwest of Penelope. The tornado formed in the field just east of the road, hitting a residence and dissipating soon afterwards. Two houses were damaged: One had metal panels peeled off the roof, and the home shifted off its cinder blocks about 8 inches. Winds got in the garage of the uninhabited second house and lifted the roof off, then it collapsed back on the house and the walls buckled. The tornado lifted just east of the property. Maximum estimated winds were 105 mph. |
| 18:30Z | EF1 | KFWS | TX | Navarro | Pelham | A tornado formed just northwest of Navarro Mills Lake, just east of the Navarro/Hill County line. Damage near this initiation point was confined to split tree trunks consistent with EF-0 intensity windspeeds. The tornado tracked east-northeastward, causing tree damage and impacting multiple residences and outbuildings in areas between FM 744 and Navarro Mills Lake. Most of this damage was EF-0 to low end EF-1 in character, consistent with windspeeds of 75-95 mph. Damage was mainly associated with roof and fascia damage on the residences and significant sheet metal damage on outbuildings. However, one manufactured home was totally destroyed on Navarro County Road 3091, consistent with EF-1 winds estimated at around 110 mph. The tornado crossed FM 744, and dissipated just northwest of the Dresden community. |
| 18:32Z | EF2 | KUEX | NE | Howard | Elba | Through a roughly 10 minute process, during which the parent supercell did not move much, a fourth tornado formed in northern Howard County before crossing into Greeley County. This tornado was rated an EF2 with estimated peak wind speeds of 135 MPH based upon metal power pole damage just west of the Highway 281 and 22 junction near Wolbach. The tornado had previously destroyed a metal building to the southwest, and would go on to destroy a couple of wood framed outbuildings to the northeast of Highway 281. The south edge of the tornado likely passed just north of the Highway 281 and 22 junction. It was in this general area and along the county line that the tornado was at least one-half mile wide. The tornado marched northeast, causing damage to at least one residence, outbuildings, trees, and center irrigation pivots. As the supercell slowed down north of Wolbach, this tornado diminished (damage noted was much less severe and sparse), and the supercell began the process of developing another tornado to the east. |
| 18:45Z | EF2 | KUEX | NE | Greeley | Wolbach | Through a roughly 10 minute process, during which the parent supercell did not move much, a fourth tornado formed in northern Howard County before crossing into Greeley County. This tornado was rated an EF2 with estimated peak wind speeds of 135 MPH based upon metal power pole damage just west of the Highway 281 and 22 junction near Wolbach. The tornado had previously destroyed a metal building to the southwest, and would go on to destroy a couple of wood framed outbuildings to the northeast of Highway 281. The south edge of the tornado likely passed just north of the Highway 281 and 22 junction. It was in this general area and along the county line that the tornado was at least one-half mile wide. The tornado marched northeast, causing damage to at least one residence, outbuildings, trees, and center irrigation pivots. As the supercell slowed down north of Wolbach, this tornado diminished (damage noted was much less severe and sparse), and the supercell began the process of developing another tornado to the east. |
| 18:46Z | EF1 | KFWS | TX | Navarro | Barry | A tornado formed approximately 2 miles southwest of Barry in open country, based on storm spotter video and eyewitness reports. This tornado moved north and northeast of Barry, impacting several residences and outbuildings along Navarro County roads 1210 and 1230. Most of the structural damage was confined to roofs and outbuilding sheet metal and was consistent with damage intensities of EF-0 and lower end EF-1 magnitude. However, one manufactured home along CR 1230 was totally destroyed, consistent with EF-1 winds of approximately 110 mph. The tornado traveled several additional miles to the east, passing north of Emhouse and producing EF-0 damage to trees and outbuildings. This tornado eventually dissipated in the Chambers Creek drainage west of Rice. |
| 18:49Z | EF1 | KFWS | TX | Hill | Abbott | A tornado occurred near Abbott, first developing on the west side of I-35W and CR 2341 where trees were damaged and uprooted. A semi-tractor trailer was rolled over on the interstate. The tornado moved northeast causing tree damage until it reached CR 3106 where it caused minor damage to a few homes. The tornado dissipated after crossing CR 3106 again, north of CR 3145. Maximum estimated winds were 95 mph. |
| 19:04Z | EF2 | KUEX | NE | Greeley | Wolbach | This tornado started about four miles northeast of Wolbach and was associated with a parent supercell that had previously produced two other tornadoes. In Greeley County, damage was confined mainly to center irrigation pivots and trees. The tornado moved northeast over open country and crossed the Boone County line along Highway 56. In Boone County, the tornado caused minor damage to a home on a farmstead at the county line along with quite a bit of tree damage in the general area. The tornado moved north and appeared to strengthen some as it flipped and tossed several central irrigation pivots north of Highway 56. Power poles were snapped and debris was lifted into power lines. As the tornado moved north-northeast, the most significant damage was found about two miles southwest of Primrose. A single-family home was extensively damaged, including the three-car garage being totally ripped away along with much of the roof structure. Several outbuildings were damaged or destroyed. Extensive tree damage and numerous power poles were snapped in the area. Tree damage was widespread west of Primrose and one large outbuilding was destroyed. In its final few miles, the tornado damaged trees and irrigation pivots in several places. Extensive damage to a livestock facility and several snapped power poles were noted about halfway between Primrose and Petersburg. The tornado likely dissipated in open country as it approached the Beaver Creek southwest of Petersburg. The widest point of the tornado appeared to occur just to the west and southwest of Primrose when the tornado may have been at least 500 yards wide. The EF2 rating and estimated maximum wind speed of 130 MPH was based upon the damage that occurred at a home southwest of Primrose. Note: The dollar estimate of damage applies to Greeley County only. |
| 19:15Z | EF2 | KUEX | NE | Boone | Cedar Rapids Arpt | This Wolbach/Primrose tornado crossed into Boone County along Highway 56 to the southwest of Primrose. The tornado caused minor damage to a home on a farmstead at the county line along with quite a bit of tree damage in the general area. The tornado moved north and appeared to strengthen some as it flipped and tossed several center irrigation pivot systems north of Highway 56. Power poles were snapped and debris was lifted into power lines. As the tornado moved north-northeast, the most significant damage was found about 2 miles southwest of Primrose. A single-family home was extensively damaged, including the three-car garage being totally ripped away along with much of the roof structure. Several outbuildings were damaged or destroyed. Extensive tree damage and numerous power poles were snapped in the area. Tree damage was widespread west of Primrose and one large outbuilding was destroyed. The tornado appeared to slow down and possibly weaken some north of Primrose, but did manage to get moving northeast again after a short time. In its final few miles, the tornado damaged trees and center pivot irrigation systems in several places. Extensive damage to a livestock facility and several snapped power poles was noted about halfway between Petersburg and Primrose. The tornado likely dissipated in open country as it approached Beaver Creek southwest of Petersburg. The widest point of the tornado appeared to occur just to the west and southwest Primrose when the tornado may have been up to 500 yards wide. The average width of this tornado was estimated to be 200 yards. The EF2 rating and estimated maximum wind speed of 130 mph was based on the damage that occurred at the home southwest of Primrose. This tornado started in Greeley County and was on the ground for over one hour along its 27.5 mile path. |
| 19:19Z | EF0 | KFWS | TX | Navarro | Rice | A citizen captured a video of a brief tornado which formed west of Rice, Texas. The tornado transited mainly bottomland/wetland areas of Cummins Creek, resulting in minor tree damage. This tornado dissipated northwest of Rice, prior to crossing Interstate 45. Maximum estimated winds were 75 mph. |
| 19:30Z | EF0 | KFWS | TX | Navarro | Frost | A brief EF-0 tornado occurred west of Frost in far northwestern Navarro County. A grain elevator was impacted and partially collapsed along State Highway 22 west of Frost. The tornado crossed the highway and produced some EF-0 roof and garage door damage to several homes on the west side of Frost. The tornado dissipated just north of Frost. Maximum estimated winds were 80 mph. |
| 19:51Z | EF1 | KOAX | NE | Butler | Dwight | Several trained spotters observed a tornado that began near the intersection of Highway 15 and Ashland Road. It moved to the north-northeast as a broad multiple vortex tornado, but the overall motion was observed to be relatively weak despite the tornado's width. The tornado snapped several trees and a road sign near the intersection of Highway 15 and 66. It continued nearly due north from that location with very little damage along an intermittent track, but it did overturn multiple center pivot irrigation systems. While the funnel was often not fully condensed, there was a rather persistent dust whirl below the base of the funnel all the way north to near Road 29 just east of Highway 15. Near the time of its demise, a second brief tornado developed just 1 mile to the east of this tornado. The peak winds in this tornado were estimated to be at 100 miles per hour. The tornado was estimated to be 200 yards across at its widest, with an average width of 100 yards during its lifespan. |
| 19:52Z | EF3 | KOAX | NE | Lancaster | Havelock | This tornado touched down on the northeast side of Lincoln near the intersection of Havelock Ave and 84th Street causing damage to a business and a large transmission line south of Havelock Ave. The tornado moved northeast through agricultural fields, snapping power poles and large trees while increasing in strength. The tornado hit a manufacturing plant at 98th Street and Highway 6 where 70 employees were sheltered. The plant received EF-3 damage. There was a complete failure of the roof and 3 walls of the plant. Employee cars sustained varying damage, with the worst being thrown at least 75-100 yards. Tree trunks were snapped northeast of this location at a nearby business which sustained roof and siding damage.||The tornado quickly crossed 98th Street and Highway 6 where a BNSF train locomotive took a direct hit, derailing numerous cars. The tornado continued northeast across open fields, crossing I-80 and eventually Salt Creek. There was substantial tree damage along the path and along Salt Creek as well as deposited roof debris from the manufacturing plant.||Satellite and video analysis indicate that this tornado ended almost due west of Waverly, with another separate tornado developing less than a mile to the west-northwest. |
| 19:57Z | EF1 | KOAX | NE | Lancaster | Waverly | This tornado developed immediately prior to the dissipation of the Lincoln EF-3 tornado to its southeast. The tornado traveled northeast for nearly 3 miles, doing most of its damage to trees and powerlines, but also destroying two large outbuildings and causing window damage to a home. This tornado dissipated in a field as a new tornado developed quickly to its north according to video and satellite evidence. Peak estimated winds in this tornado were at 107 miles per hour, with a peak width of 150 yards and an average track width estimated at 100 yards. |
| 20:03Z | EF0 | KOAX | NE | Lancaster | Waverly | A storm chaser with time and location stamps on their video tracked a tornado through mainly open fields. A damage survey team did find evidence of some minor tree damage at a few locations, sufficient to rate this as an EF-0 tornado. |
| 20:06Z | EFU | KOAX | NE | Butler | Brainard | Trained spotters with video and photo confirmation reported a tornado lasting approximately 1 minute over open fields. There was no damage found from this tornado, so its width and wind speeds were not able to be accurately estimated. |
| 20:12Z | EF0 | KOAX | NE | Lancaster | Waverly | A storm chaser with time and location stamps tracked a tornado through mainly open fields. A subsequent storm damage survey revealed that EF-0 damage had been done in the Lancaster County portion of this track. Beginning on Little Salt Road a quarter mile east of County Road 10, several large branches were observed to have been broken by the tornado. The tornado continued into Saunders County where it produced EF-1 damage to a farmstead on Emery Road between County Road 8 and County Road 7. Peak estimated winds from this tornado in Lancaster County were estimated to be around 75 miles per hour. The tornado was roughly 30 yards wide for its duration in the county before moving into southeastern Saunders County. |
| 20:14Z | EF1 | KOAX | NE | Saunders | Memphis | A storm chaser with time and location stamps on their video tracked a tornado through mainly open fields. The storm damage survey indicated locations with snapped tree trunks, as well as one farmstead on Emery Road between County Road 8 and County Road 7 that was impacted. At that location, several trees were snapped, a barn was badly damaged, and there was minor damage to a home. The tornado was intermittent near the end of the track, but had a persistent surface circulation and dust whirl, as well as a partially to fully condensed funnel cloud for its entire duration. This segment is a continuation of the Lancaster County portion of this tornado. The maximum estimated wind speeds from this tornado in Saunders County was 108 miles per hour, with a peak width of 50 yards and an average width of 40 yards. |
| 20:27Z | EFU | KUEX | NE | Boone | Boone | A trained spotter confirmed a short-lived tornado with no damage. This tornado was estimated to be around 50 yards wide. |
| 20:30Z | EF4 | KOAX | NE | Douglas | Waterloo | This tornado developed about one quarter mile west of the West Q Road and 255th Street intersection in Western Douglas county where trees were knocked down and a farmstead sustained outbuilding damage. The tornado continued northeast crossing agricultural fields and flipping numerous center pivots, eventually crossing 252nd Street. The tornado caused EF-2 damage as it approached Highway 92, damaging numerous homes and striking an acreage northwest of the Highway 92 (West Center street) and Highway 275 intersection. Several center pivots were overturned as the tornado continued northeast crossing east of Highway 275, causing EF-2 damage to several acreages, homes, and outbuildings along Highway 275/240th Street. Continuing northeast, the tornado crossed 234th Street near Harney Street where it damaged a horse farm and an acreage as well as a home along Dodge Street/Highway 6 before crossing Dodge Street causing roof and outbuilding damage at the Junkstock Farm. The tornado crossed the Elkhorn River, damaging trees and flipping center pivots in an acreage along Blondo Street just south of the railroad tracks. The tornado continued into the western part of Elkhorn approximately one-half mile south-southwest of the intersection of West Maple Road and 216th Street. One home sustained high-end EF-2 damage losing large sections of its roofs. Another home just to the north had total destruction of the structure, resulting in EF-4 damage. The tornado moved across Prospect Hills Cemetery, damaging headstones, and moved across West Maple Avenue severely damaging a landscape business before entering the Ramblewood subdivision. Numerous homes in the subdivision received EF-3 damage with only small interior rooms standing. EF-3 damage persisted as the tornado continued north-northeastward damaging homes between 212th Street and Kestrel Parkway, again leaving only interior rooms standing. Two homes at the intersection of North 212th Street and Larimor Avenue were completely destroyed, resulting in a second instance of EF-4 damage. The tornado then crossed Fort Street about one-third of a mile east of 216th Street, causing the collapse of new development homes. This damage was also consistent with that of an EF-3 tornado. The tornado then veered to the northeast across mainly rural areas of northwestern Douglas County, between Fort Street and Military Road. By the time the tornado crossed Highway 31, it reached its peak width of 1 mile wide. EF-1 damage was noted in this area with several power poles and trees snapped. The tornado narrowed to about one-half mile wide and moved into residential development just northwest of the intersection of 180th Street and Military Road, where EF-1 damage was observed due to loss of roofs. The tornado then moved into Bennington���s Newport Landing neighborhood, causing high-end EF-2 damage by removing large sections of several home's roofs and collapsing some exterior walls. The tornado then moved across Bennington Lake, crossing just west of the intersection of Highway 36 and 168th Street, snapping the tops off of numerous trees. It then moved across agricultural land, damaging farm outbuildings southeast of the intersection of 168th Street and Dutch Hall Road, before crossing into Washington County. All walls of this home were collapsed. However, the walls were not attached to the foundation in a way that would discriminate between EF-3 and EF-4 damage. Thus, high-end EF-3 damage was determined. Peak estimated winds for this segment of the tornado's track were at 170 miles per hour. The maximum width of the tornado in this segment was 1450 yards, with an average width of approximately 900 yards. |
| 20:32Z | EF0 | KINX | KS | Elk | Longton | Law enforcement officer sent in pictures of tree damage that occurred in eastern Elk County. |
| 20:34Z | EF0 | KTWX | KS | Wilson | Coyville | Rural fire department found the tornado track starting in Wilson County with most of the damage occurring in Woodson County. |
| 20:37Z | EF2 | KINX | KS | Wilson | Buxton | The damage was mainly to trees and outbuildings, but a two story home sustained roof damage when it was mostly torn off. |
| 20:39Z | EF2 | KTWX | KS | Woodson | Batesville | Rural fire department surveyed the damage to a farmstead which had four outbuildings destroyed. A trailer, which was attached to a pickup, was tossed a quarter of a mile. There was some damage to the windows on the house and hardwood trees on the property had broken limbs. The rest of the damage in the county was to trees with branches broken. |
| 20:42Z | EFU | KUEX | NE | Boone | Albion | The Boone County Emergency Manager reported a tornado just northeast of Albion, Nebraska. This was confirmed by a video taken by a storm chaser. No damage was observed following the tornado, hence was given an EF-U rating. Maximum estimated width was 100 yards with an average width estimated at 50 yards. |
| 20:52Z | EF0 | KINX | KS | Wilson | Fredonia | Parts of metal roofs to outdoor buildings at the fairgrounds sustained damage. |
| 20:57Z | EF4 | KOAX | NE | Washington | Washington | This segment of the tornado is a continuation of the EF-4 tornado that tracked through western Douglas County. After crossing Dutch Hall road into southern Washington County, the tornado damaged homes and farm outbuildings between County Road 29 and County Road 31 from Dutch Hall Road to County Road 36. The width of the tornado at this time ranged from one-third to one-half mile wide. The most significant damage was sustained to a home, machine shop and horse barn, one-third of a mile southeast of the intersection of County Road 40 and County Road 29. Trees were snapped and debarked, the house was moved from its foundation, flat-bed and horse-trailers rolled or lofted, and the machine shop and horse barns destroyed. The storm damage survey following this tornado determined high-end EF-3 damage occurred here. At least one horse was killed, and several others were injured. After this, the tornado crossed the intersection of County Road 36 and County Road 31, producing EF-0 to EF-1 damage in the form of partial roof and siding loss to farm buildings and manufactured homes, plus the snapping of large tree limbs. As it approached State Highway 133, several homes and farm outbuildings sustained EF-2 damage due to the loss of roofs or exterior walls. Crossing Highway 133, the tornado was just less than one-half mile wide, and moved into residential areas generally between County Road 32 and US Highway 75. The most significant damage of the whole tornado track occurred near the intersections of County Road P30 and County Road 33 with the destruction of multiple homes. Several houses were rated with high-end EF-3 damage, and one house was rated as receiving EF-4 damage. Peak winds in this area were estimated to be 170 miles per hour. The tornado then crossed US Highway 75 about 2 miles southeast of Blair moving across the very southern portion of the Cargill plant. The tornado weakened and narrowed, but snapped power poles and derailed several empty rail container cars from the tracks, resulting in EF-1 damage. The peak width of the tornado during this segment of its track was 1900 yards wide, with an average width of around 1000 yards. The tornado continued into southwestern Harrison county in Iowa where it dissipated shortly after crossing US Highway 30. |
| 21:07Z | EF1 | KOAX | NE | Platte | Creston | Trained spotters reported that the tornado initially touched down just northwest of the intersection of 370th Street and 175th Avenue. It tracked north-northeast where it flipped a center pivot irrigation system. The tornado was intermittent as it tracked across 175th Avenue and toward Loseke Creek, becoming more persistent again as it reached and crossed Loseke Creek. At this point, it impacted a homestead where it snapped trees, blew windows out of a home, and caused significant damage to a barn roof. The tornado continued north where there was minor damage to fencing and an electrical pole at a feedlot, and continued to weaken and become intermittent to where the trained spotters reported that the ground circulation ended, just southwest of 160th Avenue and 445th Street. Peak winds in this tornado were estimated to be 100 miles per hour, with an average width of 35 yards. |
| 21:13Z | EF1 | KINX | KS | Wilson | Benedict | There was damage to trees, outbuildings and part of about a third of the metal roof on a home. A horse trailer was knocked on its side. |
| 21:18Z | EF1 | KOAX | IA | Harrison | Modale | This segment is a continuation of the EF-4 tornado that went through western Douglas and Washington Counties. Upon entering far southwestern Harrison County, the tornado moved across the Missouri River, crossing Highway 30 and the Union Pacific Rail line about one mile east of the Iowa-Nebraska state line. Several trees were snapped and broken, producing EF-0 damage. The tornado then moved across bottomland and agricultural areas, snapping or uprooting several trees and tipping center pivots, producing EF-0 to EF-1 damage. The tornado dissipated approximately 2 miles southwest of Modale, Iowa at 4:29 pm CDT. Peak estimated winds during this segment of the tornado track were estimated at 90 miles per hour. The peak width of the tornado during its track in Harrison County was estimated to be around 350 yards, with an average width of 100 yards. |
| 21:52Z | EF1 | KOAX | IA | Mills | Pacific Jct | A tornado damage path began approximately 1 mile north of Pacific Junction, where the tornado was also reported by a trained spotter. The tornado crossed Highway 34 one mile east of Interstate 29 where it snapped trees. It then moved up and into the bluffs, where a home took a direct hit and lost large portions of the roof. A large camper was flipped on its side and trees were also snapped at this location. The tornado progressed north-northeast through a forested area where many tree trunks were snapped. The end of the damage path appeared to be near Pony Creek Park, just to the east of the Pony Creek Lake dam. Peak winds in this tornado were estimated at 100 miles per hour. The maximum measured width was 80 yards, with an estimated average width of 30 yards for this tornado track. |
| 21:52Z | EF1 | KOAX | IA | Harrison | Magnolia | A tornado developed in woodlands about 4 NNW of Magnolia, IA. Road maintenance workers noted damage to the trees south of 174th Trail Road on the south side of Steer Creek. The tornado crossed 174th Trail breaking power poles and damaging a farmstead. The tornado moved generally north moving across agricultural fields and skirting the eastern periphery of the Loess Hills State Forest west of Juneau road, damaging a house and trees. The tornado veered to the NNE, crossing 154th Trail Road, where it moved across an impassable area of Loess Hills State Forest west of Kelsey Avenue. It crossed just south of the intersection of Kelsey Avenue and Easton Trail Road, causing damage to a farmstead and power poles. It continued to move NNE, snapping trunks and large branches of trees and destroying barns and outbuildings along 110th Street, as well as along Laredo Avenue north of 112th Trail Road. The tornado began to weaken as it approached the Harrison-Monona county line, producing only very minor damage as it moved into Monona County east of Peach Avenue. The peak estimated winds in this tornado for this segment of its track were 110 miles per hour. The maximum width achieved by the tornado was 766 yards, with an average width during this segment estimated at 450 yards. |
| 21:54Z | EF1 | KOAX | IA | Pottawattamie | Council Bluffs | The ground-level tornado circulation developed near 35th and Broadway in Council Bluffs, producing an intermittent track as it progressed north-northeast through a neighborhood, damaging trees, roofs, and apartment buildings. Peak winds were estimated to be at 110 miles per hour, with a peak width in this segment of the track of 75 yards, and an estimated average width of 50 yards. This tornado continued into Douglas County where it caused EF-2 damage at Eppley Airfield, then moved back into Pottawattamie County shortly after. |
| 21:57Z | EF2 | KOAX | NE | Douglas | (oma)eppley Fld Omah | This is a continuation of the first Pottawattamie County segment of this EF-3 tornado. In the prior segment, this tornado produced EF-0 and EF-1 damage to a neighborhood in western Council Bluffs, Iowa. This tornado crossed the Missouri River into Douglas County at the start of this segment of its track. This is where the first video evidence of a complete funnel in contact with the ground occurred. This video was taken at the Eppley Airport as the tornado did damage on the southeast side of the Eppley Airfield runway system. The tornado destroyed several aircraft hangars and flipped several untethered executive aircraft, producing EF-2 damage. The tornado continued northeast where it crossed the Missouri River for a second time and moved back into Pottawattamie County. Peak winds during this segment of the tornado track were estimated at 118 miles per hour. The maximum width while the tornado was in Douglas County was measured at 200 yards, with an average width during this track segment estimated at 100 yards. |
| 21:59Z | EF0 | KOAX | IA | Harrison | Pisgah | This tornado was based on an eyewitness observation of two simultaneous tornadoes passing east and west of a farmstead. There was little damage observed with this tornado, with only minor tree damage being reported. The peak estimated winds in this tornado were 70 mph, with a peak width of 200 yards and an average width of 100 yards. |
| 22:01Z | EF3 | KOAX | IA | Pottawattamie | Carter Lake | This is a continuation of the Douglas County segment of this EF-3 tornado. This is also the second time the tornado moved through portions of western Pottawattamie County. At the start of this segment, the tornado moved northeast across the Missouri River and crossed Interstate 29 near mile marker 58. It widened to about one-quarter mile, damaging numerous homes and businesses between the interstate and Little Kiln Road. The most intense damage was sustained to a residence along Little Kiln Road due to the collapse of most of the exterior and interior walls except for a few interior rooms. A storm damage survey the following day found this to be EF-3 damage, with peak winds estimated at 152 miles per hour. This damage point was when the tornado was at its strongest. The tornado then continued northeast, moving across Old Lincoln Highway about 1.5 miles south of Crescent. EF-2 damage to several homes occurred due to the major loss of the roof and exterior walls. A vehicle detail shop was also destroyed in this area. The tornado then moved across mainly woodland areas before impacting a home and farm outbuildings near the intersection of Badger and Jefferson Avenues, where EF-2 damage was sustained to the home due to major roof damage. After this, the tornado moved across agricultural and woodland areas between 195th Street and Cougar Avenue, producing EF-1 damage to several manufactured homes and farm outbuildings. Further to the northeast, the tornado produced EF-0 damage to farm outbuildings by removing large portions of their roofs and snapping large tree limbs. This tornado weakened near the intersection of 210th Street and Teakwood Road, producing intermittent damage to tree limbs. It crossed Interstate 880 about 7 miles west of the I-29 and I-880 interchange, or about 7 miles southeast of Missouri Valley. Shortly after crossing Interstate 880, the tornado briefly moved into far southern Harrison County where it dissipated half a mile north of the county line just to the east of Overton Avenue. The peak width of the tornado during this segment of its track was measured at 550 yards, with an average width estimated at 300 yards. |
| 22:02Z | EFU | KEAX | KS | Allen | Elsmore | A chaser video showed a brief touchdown in open country. No damage was found. |
| 22:05Z | EF0 | KOAX | IA | Monona | Preparation | This is a continuation of the EF-1 tornado that touched down in Harrison County to the north-northwest of Magnolia, IA. The tornado was already weakening as it entered Monona County, only producing low-end EF-0 damage to trees as it crossed the county line. The tornado dissipated less than a quarter mile ENE of the intersection of Peach Avenue and 330th Street. |
| 22:08Z | EF3 | KOAX | IA | Pottawattamie | Dumfries | A tornado damage path began near Aspen Road, just west of 240th Street. The tornado tracked toward the north-northeast, snapping trees and electrical poles as it went. A home was impacted along Chestnut Road with substantial roof damage. Two additional homes were directly impacted when the tornado crossed Highway 92. One of these sustained major roof damage while the other home had most external walls collapse while interior walls remained standing. Numerous trees were snapped and a large shed was completely destroyed at this location while a large steel horse trailer was thrown more than a quarter mile. The tornado continued to Cottonwood Road where it damaged a home and an outbuilding. The most significant damage along the track occurred at Dogwood Road where a home was completely destroyed, and only the basement remained. Tree damage here was substantial as well with numerous snapped trunks. Residents of this home survived by seeking shelter in the basement bathroom, which was one of the few locations in the home not directly impacted by major flying debris. The tornado crossed Elmtree Road and Highway 6, and appears to have been at its widest near Highway 6 where it was approximately 800 yards wide. Another home was damaged near 270th and Hickory Road. The tornado continued northeast, damaging electrical poles, trees, and outbuildings all the way to where it ended near 295th and Juniper Road. The ending location is based on photo evidence of spotters located southeast of the storm. Peak winds in this tornado were estimated at 145 miles per hour. This tornado had a max width of 900 yards with an estimated average width of 500 yards. |
| 22:10Z | EFU | KTWX | NE | Richardson | Verdon | The Emergency Manager called reporting a tornado touchdown approximately two miles north of Salem, Nebraska. No damage was found nor video evidence taken by those in the area. |
| 22:16Z | EF0 | KOAX | NE | Madison | (ofk)stefan Fld Norf | This tornado began just southwest of the East Sherwood Road and 558th Avenue intersection. A few branches were noted to have been broken just south of East Sherwood Road before the tornado crossed 558th Avenue into Stanton County. The tornado continued for another half a mile on the east side of 558th Avenue in Stanton County producing EF-1 damage to trees and a warehouse building. The peak windspeeds from the tornado in Madison County were estimated to be at 60 miles per hour, with the average width of the tornado being at 25 yards. |
| 22:17Z | EF0 | KOAX | IA | Monona | Moorhead | A short-lived tornado developed in an agricultural field and moved generally northeast across fields and pastureland, damaging outbuildings of farmsteads near the intersection of 280th and Poplar Roads. The tornado appeared to dissipate in pastureland before reaching State Highway 183. Peak winds were estimated at 85 miles per hour. The tornado reached a maximum width of 100 yards, with an average width estimated at 50 yards. |
| 22:17Z | EF1 | KOAX | NE | Stanton | Stanton | This tornado touched down just on the Madison side of the Madison-Stanton County line before crossing into Stanton County less than a mile north of the East Sherwood Road and 558th Avenue intersection. Right as it crossed the county line, it hit a warehouse, blowing off the majority of its roof and blowing in a garage door. Nearby trees just to the south of the warehouse were snapped near the base of their trunks. This tornado continued north-northeast for another half a mile before dissipating. The maximum estimated wind speed from this tornado in Stanton County was 103 miles per hour, and the average width was estimated to be 50 yards. |
| 22:23Z | EF1 | KOAX | IA | Monona | Soldier | A tornado developed near the intersection of 260th and 270th Streets. It produced damage to outbuildings at a farmstead near this intersection and tossed some fiberglass boats. The tornado moved across agricultural fields generally northeast paralleling State Highway 183 to the west. It produced damage to trees along Redwood Avenue and snapped a power pole at the intersection of State Highway 37 and Redwood Avenue. The tornado moved just west of the community of Soldier, producing no discernable damage to any homes or businesses on the west side of town. Radar signatures indicate the tornado continued to move northeast across agricultural lands, moving north of 245th Street, damaging trees and outbuildings, before dissipating just east of Spruce Avenue. Peak winds in this tornado were estimated at 98 miles per hour. The maximum width was measured at 250 yards, with the average width estimated at 100 yards. |
| 22:25Z | EF3 | KOAX | IA | Pottawattamie | Mc Clelland | A tornado developed approximately 3 miles east of McClelland, and developed prior to the dissipation of the EF-3 tornado that tracked near Treynor. This was confirmed by photo and video evidence of storm spotters. This tornado moved toward the north-northeast, damaging mainly trees, outbuildings and barns as it tracked towards Sumac Road and 330th Street. At this point, according to radar and storm damage indicators, the tornado rapidly intensified. An outbuilding was totally destroyed near Sycamore Road, and the tornado caused extensive tree damage east of 330th Road, south of Minden. The tornado intensified further, and widened to approximately 1200 yards as it impacted the town of Minden. Video and spotter reports indicate that there were multiple vortices within the tornado near Minden and points northeast, and there was evidence of narrow zones of the most intense damage which lines up very well with the multiple vortex tornado concept. In fact, there were damage indicators of EF-1 damage and high-end EF-3 damage within only 100 yards of each other. The most intense damage was on the far east side of Minden. Numerous homes were uninhabitable and several homes were completely destroyed. There were also several sizeable metal buildings southeast of Main Street that were completely destroyed. The construction of these metal structures and the homes that were most impacted, in conjunction with the tree damage and damage to cars with few if any cars being lofted and thrown indicated that this was a very strong EF-3 tornado, near the top of the damage range for an EF-3. The damage to the town of Minden was extensive, with three injuries. A fourth person succumbed to their injuries after the event, resulting in the only direct fatality of this tornado outbreak in the OAX area. The tornado continued northeast of Minden where it produced EF-3 damage at two homes along 345th Street. One of the homes was somewhat intact but was removed from its foundation and slid approximately 10 yards to the northeast. The other home had only small interior rooms remaining. It is worth noting that these two homes were 700 yards apart along the north-south street. EF-2 damage occurred along Whippoorwill Road. The tornado crossed Interstate 80 near 355th Street, flipping a semi, and produced damage of a mile wide along York Road just north of Interstate 80. This tornado continued briefly into Harrison County and then into Shelby County. EF-1 damage was noted in Harrison County and EF-3 damage was found in Shelby County 2 miles west of Harlan, Iowa. Peak estimated winds in Pottawattamie County from this tornado were estimated at 160 miles per hour. Maximum width was estimated at 1900 yards, with an average width of 850 yards. |
| 22:26Z | EF0 | KOAX | IA | Harrison | Beebeetown | This is the final segment for the EF-3 tornado that impacted Eppley Airfield and portions of western Pottawattamie County. The tornado crossed into far southern Harrison County less than a quarter mile from the York Road and Overton Avenue intersection. For the short time the tornado was in the county, it produced EF-0 damage to trees along a half-mile stretch of Overton Avenue. The tornado dissipated half a mile north of the county line just to the east of Overton Avenue. The peak width of the tornado in this segment of its track was measured at 75 yards with an average width estimated at 30 yards. Maximum estimated winds while this tornado was in Harrison County were 75 miles per hour. |
| 22:29Z | EF0 | KEAX | KS | Bourbon | Uniontown | A NWS storm survey determined that a weak EF-0 tornado occurred, with a path length of 3.12 miles and a width of 75 yards. Maximum wind speeds of 85 mph led to siding damage on a home, five outbuildings damaged or destroyed, and a number of trees either uprooted or having large limbs snapped. |
| 22:40Z | EF1 | KOAX | IA | Harrison | Hard Scratch | A tornado touched down just southwest of Reading Trail, impacting a home along Reading Trail by removing a porch, snapping tree limbs, and destroying a large camper. The tornado proceeded northeast where some trees were damaged along Redwood Avenue. This tornado was rated EF-1 with peak winds estimated at 100 miles per hour. The tornado achieved a peak width of 30 yards, with an average width estimated at 20 yards. |
| 22:45Z | EFU | KTWX | NE | Richardson | Rulo | Report received of a tornado touchdown a mile to the south-southwest of Rulo, Nebraska over NAWAS. No damage was observed after the fact, so a rating could not be assigned. |
| 22:46Z | EF1 | KOAX | IA | Harrison | Yorkshire | This is a continuation of the Minden, Iowa EF-3 tornado. This tornado briefly crossed into the far southeast corner of Harrison County. The tornado entered the county on York Road between the county line and Yates Avenue. It was less than a mile before the tornado crossed into Shelby County between York Road and 335th Street. Along York Road, EF-1 damage was noted with several tree trunks snapped and farm outbuildings with exterior walls collapsed. The peak winds in this segment of the tornado track were estimated at 97 miles per hour, with a peak width measured at 1000 yards and an average width also at 1000 yards. |
| 22:47Z | EF3 | KOAX | IA | Shelby | Shelby | This is a continuation of the Minden, Iowa EF-3 tornado. Prior to this segment, the tornado had tracked through Pottawattamie County and a small portion of extreme southeast Harrison County. After crossing into Shelby County between York Road and 335th Street, tree and powerline damage continued to the northeast, with a home having its roof blown off near County Road M16 and 450th Street. Trees in the area were uprooted or snapped at the base of the trunk. A home was badly damaged, and a barn was destroyed less than one mile southeast of Tennant. The tornado appears to have been widest near 750th Street and Hackberry Road, at approximately 1900 yards in width based on tree and powerline damage. At Highway 44, a home was destroyed along with substantial tree damage. Most walls of the home were standing, but a large automobile was thrown or rolled nearly a quarter mile. The tree and vehicle damage suggested that this location was a stronger section of the tornado, and was subsequently rated EF-3. The tornado tracked approximately 1.5 miles northwest of Harlan and began to turn more towards the north, significantly damaging at least 3 homes near Highway 59 as it crossed. It turned almost due north and traveled several miles along Linden Road, and missed the town of Defiance, Iowa by less than half a mile to the east. A second tornado developed just to the east of this one at this time, tracking along Oak Road and causing separate damage. Near Defiance the tornado also became rain-wrapped according to chaser video, and appears likely to have ended just south of the Crawford-Shelby county line. There is some potential based on radar data that this tornado tracked farther north into Crawford County, but damage surveys did not identify a track continuation. The peak estimated winds in this segment of the tornado track were 140 miles per hour. The maximum width of the tornado was measured at 1900 yards with an average width estimated at 1300 yards. |
| 23:07Z | EF1 | KEAX | MO | Vernon | Metz | A NWS storm survey determined that an EF-1 tornado occurred 3 miles ENE of Stotesbury in Vernon County, MO. The path length was 3.4 miles with a width of 95 yards. Maximum wind speeds of 95 mph destroyed two outbuildings and caused a number of trees to be either uprooted or have large limbs snapped. |
| 23:14Z | EFU | KEAX | MO | Holt | Maitland Knglwood Ar | A very brief tornado was reported just north of Maitland. No damage was reported, so officially goes down as an EF unknown with no path length or path width. |
| 23:28Z | EF1 | KOAX | IA | Shelby | Irwin | This tornado touched down in the V and W Petersen Wildlife Management Area, less than half a mile south of the Shelby-Crawford County border between Road M36 and Quince Road. This tornado quickly moved into Crawford County, but not before snapping several tree trunks on 2500th Street. Here, EF-1 damage was noted, with peak winds estimated at 107 miles per hour. The tornado continued into Crawford County where it completely destroyed a barn 1 mile northwest of Manilla, Iowa, resulting in a final EF-2 rating for the tornado. In Shelby County, the tornado reached a peak width of 100 yards, with an average width estimated at 50 yards. |
| 23:29Z | EF2 | KOAX | IA | Crawford | Astor | This tornado formed in Shelby County and passed into Crawford County shortly after developing. This tornado moved almost due north for much of its path and passed just west of Manilla. An farm building was completely destroyed just northwest of Manilla producing EF2 damage. The tornado then paralleled 320th street for much of the remainder of its path before lifting several miles southwest of Vail. |
| 23:30Z | EFU | KOAX | IA | Crawford | Astor | This was a brief tornado which stayed in open rural areas east of Federal Highway 59 in southern Crawford county. This tornado produce a weak TDS on radar and was rated EFU since there was no impact to any damage indicators. |
| 23:36Z | EF0 | KEAX | MO | Bates | Pleasant Gap | Storm survey found evidence of a brief, 0.8 mile EF-0 tornado in Bates County just southeast of the community of Pleasant Gap. |
| 23:47Z | EF0 | KEAX | MO | Bates | Pleasant Gap | Storm survey found evidence of a brief, 1.2 mile EF-0 tornado in Bates County just WSW of Appleton City Lake. |
| 23:49Z | EF1 | KOAX | IA | Shelby | Defiance | This tornado touched down less than a mile southeast of Defiance, Iowa just north of the Linden Road and Knotty Pine Road Intersection. Here, a roof was blown off a barn and several tree trunks in the area were snapped. The tornado moved to the northeast, skirting the town of Defiance by less than a mile to the east. A home at the intersection of Linden Road and 2300th Street received minor roof damage and had its car garage completely destroyed. This was the worst damage from this tornado in Shelby County, warranting an EF-1 rating with max wind speeds estimated at 105 miles per hour. Another large barn at the intersection of Street F16 and Mulberry Road had large sections of its roof damaged. At 1753 CST, the tornado crossed into Crawford County half a mile west of 300th Street. At this point in time, EF-1 damage was still being done with several tree trunks being snapped with the passage of the tornado. The peak width achieved by this tornado in Shelby County was 300 yards, with an average width of 200 yards.
