 * ’’’29 deaths’’’ Tornado began south of Jason City, rapidly intensifying to F5 strength as it neared Johannes. The tornado tore a swath of damage at the southern end of Johannes, sweeping rows of homes clean off of their foundations, and killing 28 of its 29 victims there. After passing through Johannes, the tornado suddenly constricted, becoming thin and rope-like, but it was still just as powerful. The tornado swept 3 barns clean in the rural countryside, debris being found 21 miles away. The tornado continued through Jordan, passing into District 7 before rapidly weakening. The tornado lifted directly east of Charlton Hills.
