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 across SH 78. The tornado did additional
damage to homes, structures and trees between SH 78 and FM 273.
The tornado intensified as it approached FM 273 in Ivanhoe. To the
east 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 east 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.
