This tornado was partially rain wrapped along its track. The tornado broke down large branches and snapped a few tree trunks in shelterbelts along its path. Peak winds were estimated at 90 mph.
This rain wrapped QLCS tornado developed about 4 miles east of the community of Kempton or 5.5 miles northeast of Northwood where it initially caused crop damage, seen via high resolution satellite. As it tracked east, it tipped over an irrigation pivot system, and caused EF-1 damage to trees along shelterbelts. It also caused EF1 tree damage and minor damage to a property as it turned northeast. It then finally produced more crop damage based on high resolution satellite before lifting. Peak wind speed is estimated at 100 mph.
This QLCS tornado was very brief with damage confined to one field producing EF-0 damage. The sunflowers were flattened in a very short concentric and convergent path. TDS observed on radar. Time estimated from KMVX radar. Max wind speed estimated at 70 mph.
Numerous trees were blown down in shelter belts and homesteads in Arvilla and Avon Townships. A small greenhouse was destroyed. Several trees fell on a home, severely damaging the roof. Report and photos received via social media, with time based on radar.
A brief tornado initiated to the north of a bowing section of squall line as it moved into Avon Township. Extreme tree damage was noted along its path and three cattle trailers were overthrown at a farmstead. Peak winds were estimated at 95 mph.
This tornado tracked intermittently for about eight miles before ending about two miles south-southeast of Arvilla. The tornado snarled trees in shelterbelts and broke down numerous large tree branches, limbs, and whole tree trunks along its path. A few rural residences and farm buildings had shingles torn off, quonset doors ripped off, and outbuildings damaged. Peak winds were estimated at 90 mph.
This long, thin, and rope like tornado lasted for just a couple of minutes. It tracked eastward for about one mile, nearly to the Avon and Pleasant View township line. Numerous large branches were knocked down in a farmstead shelterbelt and a couple of large tree limbs were snapped off in a field shelterbelt. Peak winds were estimated at 70 mph.
This tornado tracked eastward for about a seven mile intermittent path. The tornado was viewed by aircraft and ground based observers from multiple directions. A few large tree limbs were downed in shelterbelts though the tornado was mostly over open fields. Peak winds were estimated at 80 mph.
