The storm chase logs of this tornado led by our experts

National Centers for Environmental Information reports:

The tornado touched down in Goodland causing several large grain bins to cave in on themselves with some of the surrounding scaffolding collapsing. This portion of the storm was consistent with high-end EF-0 damage with estimated winds to 85 mph. The tornado continued into Jasper County around 1:29 PM CST where it further intensified to EF-1.

The tornado mainly passed over open fields; however, near the end of the path an outbuilding was destroyed and small farm equipment moved, including one piece that was rolled into a grain storage bin. Debris was noted as far as a mile downstream. The highest winds were estimated to around 100 mph.
