| Episode Narrative | Numerous thunderstorms developed across the area leading to multiple hail reports, with the largest being 2 inches in diameter located in Wheeler and 5 S of St. Francis. Severe wind gusts were also reported as well, with the strongest being 63 mph 9 NNW of McDonald. Multiple tornadoes also occurred as well in Sherman, Cheyenne, and Gove counties.

The worst damage was broken bolts and metal brackets of a metal frame that was bolted into concrete. The tornado also removed the roof from a barn nearby, as well as leveling a cinderblock garage and removing/destroying wooden and metal grain bins. The tornado started just northwest of CR 110 S and 40W based on Sentinel satellite data, crossed CR 90 S and 80 S, then lifted just northwest of County Road 406 and CR 20 W intersection based on the same Sentinel data as well. |
