Event narrative (NOAA)
This strong but brief tornado touched down shortly before destroying a home around 715pm CDT a few miles south of Munden, KS. The tree damage suggested EF3 intensity while some debarking was also noted downwind or to the NE of the home. The structure itself was pull from the sill plate which had bolts every 6 feet per code. however it appears that an initial failure point was the garage door which faced south and the roof was attached to both the garage and main structure so it appears that a catastrophic failure caused the entire structure to be lifted off its foundation and deposited 50-150 yards to the NE of the foundation. Two cars in the garage were moved only slightly which indicates below EF4 type intensity in this event. The tornado must have weakened rapidly since only EF0-1 da
