A damage survey conducted across west central Martin County concluded that there was a tornado that tracked northeastward for approximately 7 miles, doing minor damage on the way. The first signs of damage were observed at a residence where a 10'X6'X6' wooden storage structure was blown to the east northeast about 60 feet. According to radar imagery, this was near 2055 PM CST. In addition, minor roof damage was done to the home by west winds and the family's trampoline was wrapped around a nearby tree in the backyard. The tornado then continued northeastward where it passed just to the north of two power poles that were snapped at the ground by damaging west winds sometime around 2112 PM CST.
