Survey Summary:
A tornado began to the west of Ivanhoe along CR 1120. Minor house
damage and notable tree damage was observed. The tornado was
tracked by tree damage to the east across SH 78. The tornado did 
additional damage to homes, metal structures and trees between SH 
78 and FM 273. The tornado intensified as it approached FM 273 in 
Ivanhoe. To the west of the road, a brick home lost its roof, and 
a double wide was rolled and destroyed. This is where the one 
injury occurred. Farther west of this location, along CR 2210, 
another home sustained roof damage and damage to a large metal 
shop. From this point, the tornado tracked in mostly open land, 
but could be tracked in the trees before dissipating just west of 
CR 2275. This tornado was rated an EF-2 because of the damage to 
the trees and homes in the Ivanhoe area. Maximum winds were around
120 mph.

following categories:
