The tornado strengthened as it progressed through Slater, producing widespread tree damage, with several residential properties and vehicles damaged from fallen trees or limbs. A set of grain bins was heavily damaged north of Industrial Boulevard, and several houses to the north of the grain bins suffered minor roof and shingle damage. The tornado then progressed northeastward near Route 240 to the town of Gilliam. Severe tree and power pole damage was observed near and just to the east of Gilliam. One property in Gilliam was heavily damaged from a large, uprooted tree that fell onto vehicles and the home. Dozens of power poles were downed or snapped along Route 240 east of Gilliam, with the snapped poles confirming EF-2 damage. Just to the south of Route 240, hog barns and outbuildings near the damaged power poles were heavily damaged or destroyed. A newly constructed barn just to the north of Route 240 east of Gilliam was severely damaged, with walls caved in on multiple sides. Debris from the barn was lofted over 200 yards to the northeast. Irrigation pivots near the barn were overturned as well. As the tornado approached the Missouri River west of Glasgow, a long series of power poles was snapped or downed. The tornado then moved into the north side of Glasgow, producing significant tree, power line, and shingle damage. The tornado weakened as it moved northeast of Glasgow, producing primarily tree damage for the rest of its path as it moved east- northeast to south of Armstrong and eventually Route A south- southeast of Higbee. A couple of properties between Glasgow and Higbee were damaged from fallen trees. The last visible signs of damage were east of Route A and north of County Road 136 in far northeast Howard County, where several trees were snapped at their tops west of Moniteau Creek. Maximum winds of the tornado were approximately 115 mph (EF2) with a path length of nearly 36.5 miles and an approximate maximum width of 350 yards. NWS Kansas City would like to thank Brad Hinz, emergency manager for Saline County, for his help surveying much of the damage path. && EF Scale: The Enhanced Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes into the following categories: EF0.....65 to 85 mph EF1.....86 to 110 mph EF2.....111 to 135 mph EF3.....136 to 165 mph EF4.....166 to 200 mph EF5.....>200 mph NOTE: The information in this statement is preliminary and subject to change pending final review of the events and publication in NWS Storm Data. $$ Curtis/CMS/Pittman/Macko
