            EF1, max wind speed 90 mph, path length 6.3 

            miles. The tornado touched down just 

            southwest of Powerton Lake, and moved along 

            the south side of the lake, before curving 

            northeast. North of the prison, it began to 

            track more eastward south of Koch St. before 

            dissipating over Arlan Lake. A number of 

            tree trunks were snapped along the west-east 

            portion of the track, and an industrial 

            building near the railroad tracks sustained 

            some roof damage.
