Tornadoes (Surveyed by NWS Goodland):

Tornado - 5 S Scott State Lake to 5 NE Monument Rocks, KS GOVE COUNTY Date October 2, 2017 Time (Local) 7:09-7:33 PM CDT EF Rating EF-1 Est. Peak Winds 100 MPH Path Length 9.74 miles in Gove County, 16.29 miles total Max Width 450 yards Injuries/Deaths 0/0 Summary: This longer track tornado started in Scott County and continued into adjacent Gove County. As estimated by radar, the tornado continued well to the northeast. Little to no damage was indicated on this path due to a lack of vegetation and structures to damage. In addition, power companies and local emergency management did not report any damage so this estimated track is largely based on radar data.
