End Location:           4 NNE Dieterich / Jasper County / IL
End Lat/Lon:            39.1111 / -88.3308

Survey Summary:
Originating in Beecher City within Effingham County, the tornado
first touched down along E State Highway 33. The storm's initial
path spanned approximately one-quarter mile in width, resulting
in EF0 and EF1 level damage. This impact was characterized by the
snapping and uprooting of large trees, alongside sporadic damage
to grain silos and farm out-buildings, with notable effects
observed near N 300th St on the outskirts of Beecher City.

Moving eastward through Shumway, the tornado crossed State 
Highway 32 and proceeded parallel to E 1800th Ave. Although the 
path width constricted to just over one-tenth of a mile, the storm
intensified, producing EF-2 level damage. The increased strength 
resulted in hardwood and softwood tree trunks being snapped 
approximately two-thirds of the way up. Additionally, the tornado 
caused significant structural destruction, including the removal 
of a roof from a single-family home and the collapse of several 
farm outbuildings.

Upon reaching the northern outskirts of rural Effingham, the 
tornado intensified to EF-3 status as it traveled along E 1800th 
Ave. During this stage, the storm produced peak wind speeds 
estimated at 145 mph, leading to severe tree damage and the total 
destruction of one single-family home, which suffered complete 
exterior wall collapses.

Continuing its path along Effingham's northern perimeter, the 
EF-3 tornado maintained a width of one- tenth to one-quarter mile.
Substantial structural damage occurred at a farmstead on E 1680th
Ave, where several large outbuildings were demolished and a 
single-family home suffered a total roof uplift alongside partial 
exterior wall failure. Upon entering Effingham city limits and 
crossing US HWY 45, the storm destroyed a substantial metal 
building system after an X-brace failed on its eastern side. 
Nearby properties sustained further structural and severe tree 
damage, and the force of the winds threw a delivery van 
approximately 150 yards to the east.

After departing Effingham, the tornado tracked southeastward and 
broadened to a width of approximately one-third of a mile. As the 
storm crossed Interstate 70, it inflicted major damage to trees 
and caused total roof uplift at multiple single- family homes. The
tornado then proceeded across the northern and eastern parts of 
Teutopolis, where it caused extensive structural destruction to a 
farmstead located near the HWY 40 and N 1950th St intersection. 
Impacts at this location included the complete destruction of 
several large barns and outbuildings, as well as the total uplift 
of a single- residence roof. The tornadic storm maintained its 
EF-3 intensity as it moved eastward into rural Teutopolis, though 
its path narrowed to roughly one-tenth of a mile. Near the 
intersection of N 2100th St and E 1500th Ave, the storm produced 
peak wind speeds of 140 mph, resulting in the destruction of two 
single-family homes and significant damage to trees and 
outbuildings. Multiple non-life-threatening injuries were reported
in this area.

As the tornado moved across the Effingham-Jasper county line, it 
continued on a southeastward trajectory while weakening to EF-2 
intensity. With estimated wind speeds of approximately 120 mph, 
the storm caused moderate damage to outbuildings and trees, along 
with minor structural impacts to single-family residences.The 
tornadic path eventually concluded as the storm lifted along N 
200th St, just north of Island Grove.

A special thanks is extended to Effingham County EMA for their 
assistance in supplying geo- referenced data for severely damaged 
buildings. We also wish to recognize the local agricultural 
community along E 1800th Ave in rural Effingham; their willingness
to provide transportation was essential for navigating a section 
of the path obstructed by active utility restoration efforts.
