A tornado touched down three miles west of Ontario just north of Flowers Road and about a mile west of State Route 314. The tornado traveled northeast and leveled a cinder block building and caused extensive structural damage to a house. A car parked near the house was punctured in several spots by debris and hand tools blown from the cinder block building. Many trees were downed along the damage path which was nearly one mile in length and about 25 yards in width. The tornado lifted just before crossing State Route 314.
