Wooden utility poles were snapped in this area, indicating winds around 115 mph (EF-2) at the onset of the tornado. Extensive tree damage consistent with an EF-2 was observed as the tornado moved northeastward into Hot Springs Village with an impressive number of snapped trunks and uprooted trees. Through this area, many homes sustained damage primarily from falling trees as opposed to direct tornado winds. As the tornado approached Montanoso Circle, the roof of a building along the bluff was blown off and thrown approximately 80 yards to the northeast. The tornado appeared to weaken after this with mainly EF-1 tree damage noted before the funnel lifted near the intersection of Danville Road and Road 23100. && EF Scale: The Enhanced Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes into the following categories: EF0.....65 to 85 mph EF1.....86 to 110 mph EF2.....111 to 135 mph EF3.....136 to 165 mph EF4.....166 to 200 mph EF5.....>200 mph NOTE: The information in this statement is preliminary and subject to change pending final review of the event and publication in NWS Storm Data. $$ 69/67/66
