Event narrative

This tornado developed south of W 13th Avenue to the southeast of Spearman, producing its first signs of damage once it crossed CR Y just east of CR 27. EF-1 damage occurred in the area including two small pinyon trees being uprooted with others having branches snapped, as well as metal barns having lost several side and

roofing panels. The tornado continued tracking to the south-southeast, pulling roofing and siding off multiple metal barns near CR AA and CR 28. The strongest damage occurred when it crossed CR 28 to the southeast, snapping several wooden power

poles. This is where the tornado achieved peak intensity and earned the EF-2 rating. In the later stages of its life, the tornado flipped single sections of irrigation pivots just north of FM 281, and again as it crossed into far northeast Hutchinson county before eventually lifting. Along the western edge of the track, there were several instances of damage due to strong winds associated with the rear flank downdraft of the supercell. This included snapped wooden power lines and flipped irrigation pivots. The maximum estimated winds of the tornado was 115mph, which occurred in Hansford County. Winds were around 70mph in Hutchinson County. The max width of the tornado was 150 yards also in Hansford County. Total track length was around 9.5 miles.
