Event narrative (NOAA)
This tornado developed and intensified very rapidly. It was witnessed by an off duty NWS employee along with numerous chasers, law enforcement personnel and storm spotters. It developed just southwest of the county landfill and destroyed the landfills office and shop, producing EF3 damage at point. Fortunately no one was at the facility at the time as it had closed for the day.
