Info
The tornado touched down in an open field and lifted an aluminum shed off its foundation, wrapping it around a tree. Hardwood and softwood trees were snapped and scattered. Potatoes and onions were pulled out of a garden. The tornado moved through a wooded area and struck a farm where a barn roof was torn off, a grain silo was shifted slightly off its foundation, and a quonset hut wall was blown out in the opposite direction of the tornados movement. The tornado continued through more woods, knocking down several more trees before dissipating.
