            This tornado occurred on the northeast side
            of the Spearman. It initially touched down
            near Brandt Street and Kenneth Avenue(FM 759
            760). Here it snapped some tree branches,
            lifted some carports and caused minor fence
            damage. It then traveled north along County
            Road 25, where it snapped a few power poles
            and this is where it was given its highest
            rating. As it neared Highway 15, it
            collapsed an empty grain silo and caused
            some minor shingle damage to a few roofs
            along County Road 25. The tornado turned
            east, crossing Highway 15 and caused
            additional minor roof damage and snapped
            branches to hardwood trees. It finally
            lifted just to the east of Highway 15. Max
            estimated winds were 98 mph. Rating was EF1.
            Estimated length was 1.51 miles, width was
            75 yards.
