The tornado started approximately 7 miles south-southwest of Wymore, NE, doing damage to trees just west of S 23 Rd between E Walnut Rd and Willow Rd. The tornado continued south-southeastward, damaging the roof of a residence and barn, as well as power poles along Willow Rd. The track then turned more southeast, crossing State Line Rd into Marshall County, KS, between 8th Rd and S 36 Rd where damage to farm outbuildings was noted. The tornado continued southeast and caused damage to power poles along US Highway 77 just south of Bison Rd before lifting shortly thereafter.
