A tornado formed in a field southwest of Allen and spun in a two-mile area, first moving west, then south, and finally north. It damaged a house and barn, blew over a couple of grain bins, snapped large trees and two power poles. It also ripped corn from the fields, killed several deer, and picked up some grain bags and carried them along its track before dropping them as it dissipated.
