“The tornado knocked over a few trees on the west side of Hwy 155 before crossing the highway and ripping off the roof to a large barn. Two people were asleep in a camping trailer near the barn when the tornado hit. They claimed the camper lifted off the ground and slammed down, breaking the jacks supporting the front end of the camper,” the NWS said.
The survey process is still ongoing to determine if more tornadoes touched down across the region.
