Details from NWS Storm Survey: This thunderstorm event was mainly driven by daytime heating. Once the sun began to set, numerous outflow boundaries provided additional lift. The rains, though, were much needed. Two outflow boundaries collided, which formed the landspout type tornado near the Ohio River. The damage path started just west of Letart near Route 15 and extended about a mile toward Letart Island. One garage was destroyed. Telephone poles were snapped along Route 33. Numerous trees were down along the path. Wind speed was estimated by the survey team at 90 to 100 mph.
