Location: CLEARWATER
Tornado F-scale: EF2
Reported by: Trained Spotter

A large tornado moved across rural areas in Sedgwick county causing damage to a few farmsteads.  None of the major structures took a direct hit from the tornado.  Most of the damage was limited to power poles, barns, silos, and farm equipment.  A horse trailer was thrown for approximately 220 yards by the tornado.  The Doppler on Wheels was also in the vicinity and recorded 155 mph winds at 70 meters above ground level.  This would be an EF3, however, based on damage it did not appear that wind speeds at that level reached the surface.  Hence the EF2 rating.
