A National Weather Service storm survey team determined a tornado touched down just west of CR 234 and north of CR 239. The tornado moved southeastward producing EF-0 damage to trees and a barn and knocked down a two-story home that was still under construction near CR 310 and CR 237. As the tornado crossed this intersection it turned east and strengthened and widened. High end EF-0 damage was observed to trees and some homes just to the west of I-35. The tornado crossed I-35 south of CR 314 and north of Ronald Reagan Blvd. and strengthened further. A semi-trailer was flipped on I-35 and the driver sustained minor injuries. Nine wooden power poles were brought down on the north bound side of I-35, including one that was snapped in half. As the tornado continued east of I-35 and west of Little Road EF-1 damage was observed. Additional power poles were damaged and snapped. A home sustained roof damage and many large tree branches were snapped. A barn had a portion of the roof removed. A small, enclosed cargo trailer on the property was lofted roughly 100 yards downwind. Maximum winds were estimated at 100 mph just east of I-35. The tornado dissipated east of Little Road.
