The Boone-Marion County tornado continued into Marion County from Boone County, paralleling just south of US Highway 62, near Pyatt.|Marion County EM reported three fatalities from this tornado.|Extensive tree damage was observed across several county roads,|and a few mobile homes were tossed and destroyed on Marion County|Road 4010. After crossing Marion County Road 4010, the tornado|path width increased to its widest point, and likely maintained a|maximum path width of around 2000 yards for a few miles, via|satellite imagery, as it moved through the Crooked Creek Valley.|Extensive tree damage was observed along and around Crooked|Creek, and moderate damage to the second level of a tin home was|found as well. The tornado kept moving northeast, snapping most|trees in its path as it crossed Crooked Creek multiple times and|eventually, Marion County Road 4006, where it moved over the Snow|Access Campground Area. The tornado then crossed US Highway|62 again near the small municipality of Snow, causing minor to|moderate damage to a few homes around the area. As the tornado|crossed US Highway 62, the path width began to decrease, and it|began moving more eastward. Mainly tree damage was observed to|the north of US Highway 62, and eventually it crossed State|Highway 125, and Marion County Road 3032, where more|extensive tree damage was observed, and another mobile home,|which was untethered, was lofted and completely destroyed. The|tornado continued to move east-northeast, causing mostly tree|damage, before eventually dissipating to the northwest of Summit.|This tornado tracked across two counties and was rated an EF3 with maximum estimated wind speeds|of up to 145 mph.
Thunderstorm winds damaged several structures and downed numerous trees near the town of Eros. Altogether, 5 barns were destroyed and a large tree fell onto a mobile home. Several other homes sustained roof damage and the back porch of one home was blown off.
The weak tornado moved from Newton County into Marion County about 2.6 miles west-northwest of Eros. The tornado traveled to the northeast for 3 miles before lifting 1.3 miles west-southwest of Pyatt. Since the tornado moved across a rural portion of the county, damage along the path consisted of some downed trees.
