The tornado began to increase in intensity, producing EF-3 damage, as it approached McClain county. Although the damage was confined to trees, the severity of the damage became more intense. Trees were snapped at the bases, or debarked altogether. The tornado was several hundred yards wide as it neared the county line. Luckily, very few structures were in the path. This tornado continued into McClain County. Monetary damage estimates were not available.
