Tornado. The tornado began in the hills and rough terrain near Pease Rd and Quigg Ave, and traveled quickly northeast along the 10 mile track, lasting approximately 9 minutes. The first few miles of the tornado track were intermittent, with occasional evidence of a narrow track of damage and some substantial damage to outbuildings and trees. The damage became much more consistent as the tornado approached US Highway 275 where it damaged several outbuildings, including destruction of a well-constructed metal buildings with wooden frame. Security camera footage at this location supported the likelihood of this being caused by a tornado due to sudden directional and vertical shifts in wind which the removal of the roof and walls was completed in only 1 to 2 seconds. The tornado track continued northeast where it caused substantial tree damage, destroyed two sheds, caused minor damage to homes and snapped numerous power poles. Even at this location where the damage footprint was relatively wide, the individual tornado vortices were small, with a significant swath of wind along its eastern flank. The tornado continued north with gradually decreasing damage intensity and sporadic nature of damage.
