Tornado. The tornado spun up two miles northeast of Bronson along 190th Street, around one mile west of the intersection with Emmett Ave, where it ripped a portion of the roof off a single family home and damaged an outbuilding, with debris sent 100 yards to the north into a field. The tornado continued northeast across open fields until it hit two large metal utility transmission towers, and deposited the electric lines across U.S. Highway 20, resulting in the closure of U.S. Highway 20 east of Lawton for two days. The tornado crossed U.S. Highway 20 less than a mile east of Lawton, then made a more northward turn. As the tornado approached Fayette Avenue, it impacted multiple farmsteads with damage to a few barns and sheds, as well as broken and snapped tree limbs. A machine shed at one farmstead was completely destroyed along with a concrete silo and lean-to shed. Multiple power poles were snapped along 140th Street. Minor damage was also noted to shingles on a couple single family homes.|The tornado eventually lifted near the intersection of 110th Street and Fayette Avenue. The average path width was 75 yards and the maximum estimated wind speed was 130 mph. Property damage costs are a rough estimate.

Ice Storm. Freezing rain overnight and through the morning resulted in ice accumulation of a quarter to half inch, especially on elevated surfaces, including powerlines. Brief power outages were reported. Snowfall developed later morning and through the afternoon, and accumulated to 3.0 inches at Sioux City. Slick roadways resulted in several accidents. An (indirect) fatality occurred on eastbound U.S. Highway 20 west of Moville shortly after 1200CST, when the driver and sole occupant of the vehicle left the road and rolled several times. Around the onset time of the freezing rain during the evening of November 9, more than 200 ducks were killed when they confused wet and ice-covered Highway 20 for wetlands and were hit by passing vehicles. Property damage costs are rough estimates.
