This is part 1 of the tornado, Part 2 continues into Burt County. The tornado touched down just south of Highway 275, damaging a home, power poles and numerous trees as it entered the Elkhorn River valley. it caused EF-2 damage to a home just south of the Elkhorn River where a porch was ripped off and large trees damaged. The tornado crossed the Elkhorn River where significant tree damage was noted and several center pivots were flipped over. The tornado became wider and impacted additional farmsteads with EF-2 damage, especially as it approached County Road F up to the Dodge and Burt county line. At these farmsteads, several hog barns, machine sheds, and well-built outbuildings were destroyed. Farm equipment was significantly damaged. Windows were broken out of homes, roofs damaged, porches ripped off, and garage doors sucked out. Several people noted that their ears still hurt a day later due to the pressure drop during the tornado. Numerous livestock were injured or killed. The maximum width of this tornado approached one mile as it moved between County Road F and County Road B. A large cattle feedlot was impacted in extreme northeast Dodge county where very large grain bins and well built barns were destroyed. This tornado exhibited multiple vortex damage patterns at times. The tornado appears to have dissipated just north of County Road F in Burt County before developing a new tornado just to the north. Additionally, a satellite tornado was reported near the end of this tornado's life cycle.
