What the National Weather Service wrote
This tornado is believed to have begun west of Old Almyra Way south of Almyra where debris was noted in a field roughly 100-200 yards to the east of the first Almyra tornado which occurred nearly 25 minutes prior. This tornado then tracked northeast crossing near the intersection of Moss Road and Vos Road where several wooden power poles were snapped. There was a clear delineation in damage between the first Almyra tornado and the second. No additional damage could be found farther northeast, so this is likely where the tornado dissipated. This tornado was rated an EF1 with maximum estimated winds of 110 mph. The path length was 0.9 miles.
The wider storm
Severe weather, including widespread flash flooding occurred over a five day period across the entire state. This multiday event featured tornadoes, damaging winds, and very large hail. But by far and large, flash flooding and river flooding were the biggest impacts taken away from this unsettled period of weather due to total rainfall amounts between half a foot to over one foot in many locations.
