What the National Weather Service wrote
A small and narrow tornado touched down on the 600 block of Plum Creek Road in far western Spencer County. The 30 yard wide tornado caused extensive roof damage. Insulation was thrown from the northeast to the southeasterly direction and blown into trees. A large older satellite dish was thrown 20 yards and wedged in between 2 trees. The homeowner described a frightening tale of intense wind and a roaring sound. Doppler weather radar showed a nub on the squall line reflectivity, which corresponded well with where the twister touched down.
The next house up the street had some minor roof damage and there were several trees down in different directions.
