The tornado touched down just southside Dodson and moved across|the south side of town before moving across open fields to the|Oklahoma border. The tornado was relatively wide and exhibited|some signs of being multi vortex on storm chaser video, but|estimated wind speeds were only high end EF0. Along the path,|there were numerous large tree limbs snapped and a few uprooted|trees. There was damage to roofs and porches of several homes and|some weak out buildings were destroyed. One unanchored travel|trailer was rolled 40 feet and destroyed as well. There were a|few isolated power poles broken, but most remained standing along|the tornado path. The tornado did cross the county line and continued into Harmon County Oklahoma for a short distance.
