This tornado formed southwest of Allerton and moved northeast snapping power poles along Idaho Road before clipping the southeast edge of Allerton. A manufactured house had its roof removed on the edge of town with the tornado snapping power poles and a back stop at a park on the east side of town. The tornado then remained in rural areas of central Wayne county with little damage noted. The circulation stayed just southeast of Corydon but did destroy a machine shed along Highway 2 east of town. The tornado continued northeast before dissipating north of Newton Road west of 180th Street.
