What the National Weather Service wrote
This tornado originally began 3 miles west of Hillsdale in Garfield county and crossed into Grant county 5 miles SSE of Nash. This tornado continued for one mile before lifting. Most of the damage was found around a farm 4 miles SSE of Nash, with the majority of the damage to trees. Two trees in a farm field were uprooted. A large portion of a roof to an outbuilding was found approximately 500 feet from the most probable origin (the home owner did not want pictures of the house/around the house to be taken and the survey complied). Other debris from outbuildings was found in the same area, including two feeders (troughs) with one hanging from a tree. An aluminum/vinyl barn was also damaged. Part of the vinyl covering was found approximately 1/4 mile from the barn. This portion of the tornado also produced EF0 damage, with estimated costs of $15 thousand.
