Large wedge tornado, nearly a mile wide, with winds estimated at 140 mph (230 km/h). One home sustained significant damage, with its roof completely removed, and several other homes suffered mostly minor damage. At least one shed was destroyed. Many trees were downed and vehicles were damaged as well. One person was injured. The second model of the tornado intercept vehicle, designed by Sean Casey, intercepted the tornado. Instruments on the vehicle measured a gust of 175 mph (282 km/h) before the measuring equipment was destroyed, indicating possible EF4 intensity.
