Event narrative

This EF1 tornado began near or just west of U.S. Highway 169 south of Gentry, where a tractor trailer was blown over. Little damage was observed as the tornado moved northeast to 558 Road. A residence at this location featured roof damage to the home, damage to multiple grain bins, and complete destruction of a small barn. Multiple tree limbs were downed in the area, and debris from inside the barn was strewn around the property. The tornado continued northeast from this location, but little damaged was observed beyond this point. The end point is estimated based on spotter reports of the tornado crossing into Harrison County before lifting, though it is possible the tornado ended before this.
