A National Weather Service storm survey confirmed that an EF2 tornado on the Enhanced Fujita Scale touched down eight miles south-southwest of Elgin, then moved northeast before lifting 3 miles south-southeast of Elgin. No fewer than four farmsteads were damaged along the path of the tornado. The worst damage occurred six miles south-southwest of Elgin, where the tornado was nearly one half of a mile wide, damaging every building on a farmstead and completely destroying the smaller buildings. Damage also occurred to trees, vehicles, and power poles. The damage surveyed corresponded to EF2 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale. From that it was determined that wind speeds were on the order of around 120 miles per hour.||Farther north-northeast, three other farmsteads sustained tornado damage. Damage on the first two farmsteads north-northeast of the worst damage was consistent with an EF1 tornado. The farthest north farmstead had damage consistent with an EF0 tornado. ||There were no injuries or fatalities with this tornado.
