THE TORNADO OCCURRED AT A PROPERTY ALONG ROSELAND RD EAST OF JOE
BROWN HWY SOUTH. SEVERAL OPEN FARM BUILDINGS WERE DESTROYED DUE
TO ROOF UPLIFT AND SUBSEQUENT WALL FAILURE. DEBRIS WAS SCATTERED
ALONG A NARROW PATH. AN EMPTY GRAIN BIN WAS ALSO LIFTED OFF ITS
FOUNDATION AND SHIFTED. SHEET METAL ROOFING AND WOODEN BUILDING
MATERIALS WERE SCATTERED ALONG THE PATH INCLUDING HIGH INTO TREE
