At the time of tornadogenesis, sheet metal from a farm on the north side of 130th Street was strewn into a nearby field. The tornado then tracked northeast across mainly open fields, breaking off tree branches and snapping tree trunks. There was one farm outbuilding on M Avenue that was completely destroyed by the tornado. This tornado continued into Montgomery and Adams Counties, where it caused EF-2 and EF-3 damage respectively. The peak estimated winds for the Page County segment of this track were 110 miles per hour. |
