Description
Tornado witnessed by many people. Low topped storm developed off LBC (and likely a trough?) Notes say 2 storms may have collided as well. Initial reports came in with estimated F2 damage, later EC confirmed as F1. Significant damage was done to one farm in particular, with missiles having been generated and impacting the farmhouse. Owners escaped to the basement just as the tornado struck. Dave Patrick may have additional info as he chased the storm.
