The initial touchdown occurred east of County Road 21 about half way between Township Road 138 and County Road 38. A few trees were snapped or uprooted near the initial touchdown. The tornado then continued east as it rapidly strengthened to EF2 intensity. The tornado leveled a large barn as it approached State Route 18. Debris from the barn was found scattered across a large area including wrapped around utility poles and trees. The tornado crossed State Route 18 and lifted before reaching Township Road 183. This tornado was on the ground for just over a half mile. |
