Roosevelt County dispatch reported a tree and a power line blown down.
The tornado was first spotted about 19 miles north of Wolf Point and the NWS Storm Damage Team found downed tree limbs and a de-barked tree trunk. As it moved eastward, the tornado rolled heavy hay bails, snapped a road-sign post and flipped a loose yard shed. A few miles west of the Poplar River and just north of County Road 2042, the Beck Farm sustained the most damage involving roofs peeled away and blown off of several farm and storage buildings. Winds here were estimated at 115 to 120 mph. After crossing over the Poplar River, the tornado downed a large cottonwood tree, lifted and moved irrigation pipes, and snapped 9 power poles, then dissipated near the intersection of County Roads 2041 and 1041, about 17 miles north of Poplar.
