            A brief EF-1 tornado touched down in
            southwestern Monroe County near Route M and
            Highway 151. The primary damage caused by
            this tornado was a farm just south of
            Highway 151. Numerous large tree limbs were
            broken on the property with one tree limb
            pointed to the west. One farm building was
            collapsed on the western side of the barn.
            The eastern facing part of the building
            which was attached to the cement slab was
            still standing, while the western facing
            part of the building had completely
            collapsed. Due to this, we estimated
            slightly below the expected wind speed which
            also matched the surrounding tree damage. On
            the south side of the tornado, a rear inflow
            jet formed producing multiple straight-line
            wind damage reports. Damage was primarily
            across the southwest portion of Monroe
            County from Highway NN to just north of
            County Road 95. Damage was primarily to
            trees which were blown down facing easterly.
            However, damage did occur to two farms in
            which partial or near total collapses
            occurred to farm outbuildings. Winds likely
            reached up to 95 mph in the southern
            straight-line area.
