The tornado continued northeast across open fields, crossing I-80 and eventually Salt Creek. There was substantial tree damage along the path and along Salt Creek as well as deposited roof debris from the manufacturing plant.||Satellite and video analysis indicate that this tornado ended almost due west of Waverly, with another separate tornado developing less than a mile to the west-northwest. |
