Soon after one tornado dissipated just south of Medford, another tornado developed just southeast of Medford. This tornado moved north-northeast damaging hundreds of power poles east of Medford toward Deer Creek and heavily damaging the Hohmann substation west of Deer Creek. When the tornado reached a point to the northwest of Deer Creek, the tornado began to curve to the east-southeast passing just north of Deer Creek and dissipating 2 or 3 miles east of Deer Creek. Near Deer Creek, the tornado damaged the valve of a 30000 gallon anhydrous ammonia tank causing a leak that could not be stopped for a few hours. Much of the path of this tornado is estimated since it moved primarily through farmland.
