| 19:40Z | EF2 | KBIS | ND | Logan | Napoleon | A National Weather Service storm survey confirmed that an EF2 tornado on the Enhanced Fujita Scale touched down around seven miles south southwest of Napoleon, then moved east southeast before lifting four miles east of Burnstad. No fewer than three farmsteads were damaged along the path of the tornado. The worst damage occurred seven miles south southwest of Napoleon, where the tornado picked up and threw an 18 thousand bushel grain bin 250 yards, and also destroyed 1,800 feet of shelter belt trees near 100 feet tall. East southeast of this farmstead, the tornado lifted and rolled a ten ton grain bin three quarters of one mile to another farmstead, where it impacted and damaged a barn. The damage corresponded to EF2 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale. From that it was determined that wind speeds with this tornado were around 120 miles per hour. |
