Event narrative (NOAA)
The second of three tornadoes associated with a fast moving QLCS. The particularly strong tornado moved across rural Warren county producing mainly crop and tree damage. However, the tornado encountered the several large steel buildings with I-beam construction. Significant damage occurred to these buildings with some being totally destroyed producing the EF3 damage. The tornado continued to the southeast beyond this area remaining in rural crop and woodland areas.
