Survey Summary:

This tornado began just to the southwest of Jessieville, causing
tree damage around an Arkansas Forestry Commission building. The
tornado then quickly moved northeast into Jessieville, and caused
damaged to a few homes in town. Most notably, damage was noted to
several buildings on the campus of Jessieville High School, and
three out of four fixed light poles for the football field were
bent over. The tornado continued to move northeast, doing damage
to a pole barn just north of town, before finally dissipating.
