A brief tornado was confirmed using videos from social media, broadcast media, and local officials. The tornado was contained within heavily forested areas, limiting access to ground surveys. This resulted in no confirmed damage. The exact location and duration of the tornado was approximated based on radar, geo-location techniques, and video evidence.
