A neighborhood State Officer supposedly recognized the twister that morning per a paper report.

Anyway his report of the twister reasonable prompted the Public Weather conditions Administration to give a cyclone cautioning that morning on the grounds that an admonition was given.
The cyclone thumped over a semi truck on I-81 close to Weyers Cavern. A chicken house was destroyed between Shrub Slope and Verona, and many trees were thumped down obstructing streets.
