Survey Summary:
This tornado touched down near County Road K and FM 1058. It
caused damage to a property near this intersection, including
some minor roofing damage and a few snapped trees. As this
tornado crossed FM1058, seemingly tracking to the north to
northwest, it broke a couple of power poles. It looked to
continue along County Road K, where it deposited some debris and
partially overturned an irrigation pivot before lifting. Given
limited damage indicators, track of the tornado is also estimated
using radar data. Thank you to the Deaf Smith County Emergency
Management for their help in the completion of this tornado
survey.
