Survey Summary:
The tornado is assumed to have begun around 1/2 mile north of
Fullerton Lake, in a heavily wooded, inaccessible area. The
tornado then continued southeast, cross Fullerton Lake Road where
it snapped around 40 to 50 trees near the entrance to the
Fullerton Lake Rec Complex. From there, the tornado is assumed to
have continued southeast into to more heavily wooded areas,
eventually lifting before it crossed any other roads.
