One tornado that moved just west of Dodge City was observed by a research team using "Doppler On Wheels." This team measured wind speeds of just over 200 mph with brief spin-ups in the tornado vortex. Dodge City was extremely fortunate in that many of these potentially violent tornadoes skirted the city to the west and north. Despite this fact, there was still significant damage in the area with two injuries reported. In addition, an unusual anticyclonic tornado occurred during this outbreak and was rated EF2 in Edwards County. The anticyclonic tornado tracked over five miles.
