20:52Z EF3 KDMX IA Calhoun Lake City This was the first and strongest tornado of the day. It developed west southwest of Lake City and produced tree and power line damage. The tornado moved into and across the southern portion of Lake City. Imagery from UAV's and chasers show that the tornado was multi-vortex as it passed through the city. Up to EF2 damage occurred as it passed through town. As the tornado moved east of the town, it began to consolidate into a larger funnel and strengthen. It passed through a farmstead producing considerable damage to the farmhouse and out buildings with EF3 damage noted on the house. The tornado continued for a few more miles and impacted a confinement facility before lifting to the northwest of Lohrville. Fortunately, no injuries or deaths occurred with this tornado.
21:05Z EF0 KDMX IA Hamilton Stratford Tornado developed just northeast of Stratford and moved east northeast for duration of the event. Tornado remained almost entirely in agricultural fields. It did encounter a farmstead near the end of the path and produced some tree damage. As this tornado began to rope out, another tornado developed in close proximity and continued for some distance. Track was enhanced using hi-resolution satellite imagery.
21:21Z EF1 KDMX IA Hamilton Stanhope This tornado developed northeast of Stanhope and tracked across mostly open agricultural fields. It did interact with two farmsteads early in it's track, producing EF1 damage to trees. The tornado lifted before reaching Interstate 35 north of Ellsworth.
21:46Z EFU KDMX IA Webster Farnhamville Brief tornado observed by storm chasers with path determined through use of high resolution satellite imagery. Path was entirely in agricultural fields.
21:57Z EFU KDMX IA Butler Butler Center Storm Chaser report of a tornado southeast of Allison. Track was determined through use of high resolution satellite imagery. No damage indicators were impacted, therefore the EFU rating.
22:11Z EFU KDMX IA Sac Nemaha Tornado captured on video by a storm chaser. This brief tornado remained in open agricultural fields and did not impact any damage indicators, hence the EFU rating.
22:16Z EF1 KDMX IA Butler Shell Rock Tornado developed southwest of Shell Rock and moved along 250th Street. The tornado impacted several farmsteads along 250th producing EF1 damage to buildings and trees at many of the locations. The tornado was also quite wide with the the max width extending over 600 yards. The tornado continued into Bremer county.
22:21Z EF2 KDMX IA Bremer Babcock The tornado moved into Bremer county from Butler county. The tornado impacted a couple of acreages just east of the county line producing EF0 and EF1 damage before weakening and becoming an intermittent funnel. The tornado destroyed 2 barns just north of the 4th street SW exit off of Highway 218. It then crossed the Cedar River just southwest Waverly doing damage to houses on both sides of the river, mostly EF0 and EF1 damage. After crossing Hilton Avenue, it intensified and produced EF2 damage with extensive tree damage along with toppling a high voltage power line. The tornado continued farther east and slowly weakened, staying mostly in open rural land. The tornado eventually lifted to the northwest of Denver.
22:34Z EF1 KDMX IA Floyd Rudd An EF1 tornado developed between Rudd and Rockford and moved east before dissipating northwest of Charles City. The roof of a home near Rockford sustained some damage. Near the end of the path, a hog confinement building was heavily damaged, trees were downed and windows blown out of a house. Otherwise, the damage was limited to crops.
22:35Z EFU KDMX IA Sac Lytton Storm chaser captured the tornado with a UAV. The footage was used to determine the path of the tornado which remained in rural agricultural fields, hence the EFU rating.
22:52Z EF0 KDMX IA Cerro Gordo Rockwell Tornado was reported by a trained spotter northeast of Rockwell. Tornado path was determined using high resolution satellite imagery. The tornado developed and moved to the east, mostly across open agricultural fields. It did blow down a grain bin on a farmstead and with some minor tree damage as well. The tornado then began to move southeast continuing to remain in open cropland. One final farmstead was impacted with some tree damage before the tornado lifted.
23:12Z EF0 KARX IA Bremer Buck Creek Emergency manager reported a tornado east of the Readlyn area. Video and high resolution satellite imagery was used to determine the path of the tornado in eastern Bremer county. The tornado remained mostly in rural agricultural land, but did produce some minor tree damage at a farmstead.
23:15Z EFU KMTX UT Emery Huntington LANDSPOUT. A video and photos of a landspout tornado near Hungtington was sent to local broadcast media near Huntington.
23:43Z EF0 KARX IA Buchanan Hazleton Brief tornado touchdown in Buchanan County, which crossed into Fayette County at 17:44 LST, and then into Oelwein.
23:44Z EF0 KARX IA Fayette Oelwein Muni Arpt An EF0 tornado developed southwest of Oelwein and moved northeast into the city before dissipating. The tornado damaged the ticket booth, fencing and ripped metal siding off of stands at the high school football field. The tornado also blew out the sides of a greenhouse, tipped over the FFA's chicken coop and lifted but did not remove the roof on the main portion of the high school. At a restaurant, an air handler unit was ripped off and windows broken. Some crop and tree damage was noted southwest of the city as well.
00:05Z EF1 KDMX IA Tama Dysart Tornado developed near the southwest corner of Dysart and moved east southeast. The tornado had a very broad circulation with smaller vorticies embedded within the larger circulation. The tornado produced mostly EF0 damage with some EF1 damage to houses on the far southwest side of town. The remainder of the path was in agricultural fields to the south of town. The tornado then moved from Tama county into Benton county.
00:08Z EF1 KDMX IA Benton Garrison A tornado began in Tama County and crossed into Benton County, just south of Dysart, around 6:08 pm CST. As the tornado entered Benton County, the max width was around 560 yards. This includes the main tornado and satellite vortices, which are supported by video evidence. The tornado caused damage to trees and farm outbuildings at a farmstead just over the county line. This damage was rated EF-1, with maximum winds around 100 mph. The tornado then followed an intermittent path to the east-northeast for about 4.5 miles through rural areas, before dissipating.

02:40Z EFU KDVN IA Delaware Buck Creek Photos from a trained spotter and high resolution satellite data confirm a brief tornado in a corn field southwest of Hopkinton. The tornado did not cause any damage that could be used to assign an EF-scale rating. Time estimated by radar.
02:44Z EF1 KDVN IA Jones Langworthy An EF-1 tornado touched down southwest of Monticello damaging outbuildings and snapping large trees on two farmsteads.
