Survey Summary:
This tornado started in Marquand (NWS St. Louis`s area) where
several tree limbs were broken. The tornado then traveled
southeast into Bollinger County near County Road 846, causing
uprooted trees and large broken branches. It crossed County Road
844 and then went on to cause a swath of substantial tree damage
(snapped and uprooted trees) near Crooked Creek. The tornado then
moved in a more easterly direction south of the Hawn Creek Access
area, before crossing County Road 848. A home had part of its
porch lifted up and damaged in this location along with large
tree limbs broken. The tornado then caused a fairly decent swath
of  tree damage in some forested areas north of County Road
846/Highway OO. At the end of the tornado track, the roof of a
barn was destroyed and the debris was tossed onto the adjacent
home, causing roof damage.
