A tornado moved from Marion county into Morris county and touched down southwest of Burdick and moved northeast 5 miles before lifting. It struck a farm destroying part of the roof on a house and damaging a garage, two cars, a barn and some fenses.
Law Enforcement reported a short narrow damage path to hedge row trees relayed by Emergency Manager. Corroborated with radar data and time estimated based off of radar and track from tornado that moved from Marion County.
The tornado touched down 1 mile SW of Burdick and travelled north for 3 miles and dissipated 2 miles NW of Burdick while causing no damage. It was rated F0. The parent thunderstorm was a mini-supercell.
