What the National Weather Service wrote
A tornado which touched down in eastern Winnebago County, crossed into western Boone County and moved across largely open rural fields towards the town of Caledonia. Significant damage occurred to at least six buildings in Caledonia, with approximately 20 additional buildings sustaining minor damage. Several large trees were snapped or uprooted, and a grain bin partially collapsed. The tornado was again likely at EF2 intensity at this time. The tornado then continued northeast from Caledonia, downing several power poles and causing damage ranging from blown off roofs to completely destroying at least three farm outbuildings.
