Description
An early morning and early season strong tornado. A few witnesses claimed to have seen the early morning tornado and said it was a fast moving funnel-like cloud with a terrible roaring noise. One man just north of Glencoe was likely spared his life by inches when a metal pole flew from his barn into his bedroom and impaled the mattress he was asleep on.
