Tornado. This EF-0 tornado touched just west of the intersection of North Richmond Street and Highway 59 Business along the north side of town and continued east for about a mile. A broad swath of uprooted and damaged trees and downed power lines around 200 yards in width continued to near County Road 135. Tree fall damage was mostly towards the west-northwest with a few along the left portion of the track falling towards the southeast in a convergent pattern. Nearly all the damage was along the right side of the track which is consistent with a fast moving, weak tornado. Separate swath of damage to homes and trees about 1 to 2 miles away near the Junior High School seemed more consistent with a microburst to the right of the tornado track. Estimated peak winds were 75 mph.
