A tornado hit a farmstead northwest of Herndon. At the farmstead, damage consisted of numerous snapped and uprooted trees, several farm structures damaged including torn off metal roofing, broken windows, and even a few metal support beams bent in. Several grain silos were damaged or removed from their foundation. Windows were broken in vehicles. A house suffered damage to shingles, a few broken windows, and a tree falling onto it. The tornado then proceeded north on County Road 27, snapping power lines and damaging a refurbished farmstead schoolhouse. As the tornado moved north, it also damaged some oil storage tanks, spreading the oil to the northeast in a field as it turned. The tornado crossed the field, and a damage path was observed on County Road 29. From there, there was no observable damage so it was determined the tornado ended at this location.
