The tornado tracked northeast across the Des Moines River where more limbs were downed into the river near 290th Avenue. As the tornado took a slightly more north-northeast turn for about one-third mile, the most significant damage occurred at a farmstead where one silo was toppled and another damaged, along with numerous downed tree limbs. The tornado continued more northeastward for around one mile where it damaged the north end of a barn and spread debris around one-quarter mile to the northeast into Cottonwood County. The tornado continued in Cottonwood County for less than one-third mile before dissipating at 1637CST. The tornado was rated EF1 while in Murray County, and EFU in Cottonwood County. The estimated maximum wind speed was 90 mph and the average path width in Murray County was 50 yards. |
