This tornado tracked southeastward for nearly three miles to around three miles northwest of Mapleton. The tornado took down three sets of wooden high voltage double power poles. It continued into a farmyard and completely removed the roof from one farmhouse and blew apart the attached garage. A semi tractor and trailer in the yard were rolled. Numerous trees were snapped or uprooted and smaller sheds were destroyed. Peak winds were estimated at 130 mph.
