| 04:27Z | EF1 | KOAX | NE | Cass | Murdock | A tornado developed near Church Road west of 298th Street and immediately damaged a home. One of the roof peaks was torn off and garage doors blown in. The damage here was very focused as nearby trees were not damaged, but insulation from the home was stuck to 3 different sides of the home, indicating this was likely a tornado. Farther east, there was an area of focused tree damage approximately 150 yards wide embedded within a several mile wide area of more minor tree damage. The tornado continued east where it snapped several power poles and caused minor damage to a church. Additional damage to grain bins and trees was noted along Church road just west of 322nd street, which appears to be the end of the focused damage most likely caused by the tornado. This tornado occurred within a several mile wide area of intense straight-line wind damage which was caused by winds at times greater than 80 mph. |
| 05:16Z | EF2 | KUEX | NE | York | Lushton | Amongst the widespread damage from wind and hail, it was determined an EF2 tornado occurred. The tornado formed about two miles west-southwest of Lushton and immediately damaged three farmsteads. Damage included, but was not limited to the following: a garage being torn from a home; several outbuildings destroyed; extensive tree damage; irrigation pivots overturned; grain bins destroyed. Signs of leaf and mud splatter, lofted debris, and a multi-directional/convergent damage pattern was noted. Two minor injuries occurred. ||The tornado wind field may have been as wide as 400 yards at times. The tornado climbed out of the Big Blue River Valley and moved northeast toward the northwest side of Lushton. A farmstead just northwest of town was damaged, including a completely destroyed wood frame outbuilding, uprooted trees and some structural damage to the home. The structural damage was most likely caused by a large portion of the outbuilding hitting the home. In Lushton, there was widespread tree damage. A very large grain bin was destroyed, along with a smaller one.||The rating of EF2 and maximum wind speed estimate of 115 MPH was given based on power poles snapped north-northeast of Lushton. The tornado continued east-northeast and upset more pivots, destroyed grain bins, snapped power poles and caused tree damage. The tornado lifted about two miles west of McCool Junction. |
