Event narrative (NOAA)
A brief EF1 tornado caused damage, mainly to trees. However, one of these trees killed a 33 year-old man when it fell on his car. He was driving on Main St./Arkansas 291 in Tull on his way to work. This was the first tornado fatality in Grant County in more than 60 years. A few houses had minor roof damage.
