A BRIEF EF-1 TORNADO TOUCHED DOWN IN
SOUTHWESTERN MONROE COUNTY NEAR ROUTE M AND
HIGHWAY 151. THE PRIMARY DAMAGE CAUSED BY
THIS TORNADO WAS A FARM JUST SOUTH OF
HIGHWAY 151. NUMEROUS LARGE TREE LIMBS WERE
BROKEN ON THE PROPERTY WITH ONE TREE LIMB
POINTED TO THE WEST. ONE FARM BUILDING WAS
COLLAPSED ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE BARN.
THE EASTERN FACING PART OF THE BUILDING
WHICH WAS ATTACHED TO THE CEMENT SLAB WAS
STILL STANDING, WHILE THE WESTERN FACING
PART OF THE BUILDING HAD COMPLETELY
COLLAPSED. DUE TO THIS, WE ESTIMATED
SLIGHTLY BELOW THE EXPECTED WIND SPEED WHICH
ALSO MATCHED THE SURROUNDING TREE DAMAGE. ON
THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE TORNADO, A REAR INFLOW
JET FORMED PRODUCING MULTIPLE STRAIGHT-LINE
WIND DAMAGE REPORTS. DAMAGE WAS PRIMARILY
ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST PORTION OF MONROE
COUNTY FROM HIGHWAY NN TO JUST NORTH OF
COUNTY ROAD 95. DAMAGE WAS PRIMARILY TO
TREES WHICH WERE BLOWN DOWN FACING EASTERLY.
HOWEVER, DAMAGE DID OCCUR TO TWO FARMS IN

OCCURRED TO FARM OUTBUILDINGS. WINDS LIKELY
REACHED UP TO 95 MPH IN THE SOUTHERN
