Survey Summary:
An EF-2 tornado began on the east side Dexter. Moving east-
northeast the tornado downed numerous trees along its path.
Northeast of Essex, the tornado downed a few large wooden power
transmission lines. The tornado then turned to the northeast and
eventually north-northeast. As it approached Crowder, the tornado
destroyed a newer, well-built barn. In Crowder, numerous trees
were uprooted and lost large limbs. Just east of Vanduser, the
tornado removed most of a newer metal roof from a house. The
tornado finally veered more to the northeast, snapping tree limbs
and overturning irrigation equipment before lifting just east of
the community of Morley.
