Notes
This tornado completely swept away an anchor-bolted farmhouse
leaving very little debris behind.
Severe ground scouring occurred in the area
and nearby trees were completely debarked and denuded
some of which were ripped out of the ground and thrown long distances.
Five cars on the property were thrown and torn to pieces
with very few automobile parts recovered besides several scraps of metal and some engine blocks scattered throughout nearby fields.
Suspected by many to have been an F5
but was rated F4 due to the fact that the tornado was very slow-moving.
