What the National Weather Service wrote
This tornado which began in Johnson County continued into southern Newton County. Radar velocity showed this tornado being short-lived, and spotters confirmed no damage crossing Arkansas Highway 21, even though the TDS continued a little while longer. As result, the tornado likely lifted just west of Arkansas Highway 21, and was given a rating of EF-U due to area impacted being inaccessible by roads. This tornado tracked through two different counties and was rated EF-U with unknown estimated winds.
