A very large wedge tornado accompanied by multiple satellite vortices completely destroyed a metal building and scattered remnant debris hundreds of feet downwind, including large pieces of metal framing. Several homes were damaged, one of which had its attached garage destroyed and lost a large section of its roof. Numerous power poles were snapped, some of which were splintered into pieces. Irrigation pivots were damaged as well.
