The tornado began just west of Highway 136 in extreme eastern Potter County. Storm chasers witnessed the tornado form and cross the highway. One power pole was snapped along Highway 136 which was consistent with EF1 Damage. The tornado then continued into Carson County and produced damage just across the county line which was consistent with EF-2 on the Fujita Tornado Damage Scale. This damage occurred along County Road 1342 where a well anchored double wide mobile home was completely rolled and damaged. A nearby home had portions of the metal roof removed and the chimney crumbled over. A concrete block garage was also destroyed. Trees near the homes were snapped at the trunk. The tornado continued east and moved to near County Road C before dissipating.
