Event narrative (NOAA)

The tornado touched down roughly 1/4 mile northeast of the intersection of Doty Road and Roberts Road in a crop field. The tornado tracked generally in a northeasterly direction causing extensive structural damage to homes, barns, trees, and crops throughout the entirety of the path. A poorly anchored home was wiped off its foundation (DI: FR12 DOD: 9). A two-story barn, anchored with re-bar bolts, was leveled and the debris carried upwards of a quarter mile northeast of the original location. One vehicle in the barn was pulled out and severely damaged with two others parked nearby suffering damage from debris. A combine was mangled on the property, with a small dump truck thrown and bent as well as a Lincoln Town Car carried over a quarter mile and dropped into a field. Drone footage sho
