An NWS Storm Survey found a low-end EF1 tornado struck the eastern part of Nome. The tornado began southwest of Rodeo Drive in the southeast part of Nome and moved north-northeast, causing minor damage to a rodeo arena. Several outbuildings were then damaged or destroyed on the west side of FM 365 with debris thrown up to 200 yards to the north-northeast. The tornado then entered the Silver Spur Mobile Home Park, where one mobile home had its side sheared off and a nearby RV was flipped over onto a vehicle. The occupants inside were not injured. Another mobile home lost much of its roof, while several other mobile homes suffered various degrees of siding, window, and awning damage. Two homes at the intersection of Kotz Road and FM 365 received roof and siding damage along with broken windows. Crossing FM 365, the tornado then caused minor roof damage and broken windows to several homes on the east side of the highway, and destroyed two barns. 2X4s from one of these barns were carried up to 100 yards to the west and driven several feet into the ground. The tornado crossed Highway 90 just east of the FM 365 intersection with damaged trees and embedded sheet metal noted north of the railroad tracks. Entering open farm fields, the tornado deposited sheet metal from one of the previously destroyed barns up to 1/2 mile north of Highway 90 before it dissipated.||In total, a Red Cross survey found up to 30 homes suffered some degree of damage, and of those 2 were considered destroyed and 3 had major damage. Dozens of trees and power lines were blown down all along the path in all different directions. No injuries were reported. Numerous local residents witnessed the tornado.
