What happened
The episode as NWS SLC wrote it up.
Another severe thunderstorm in Weber County spawned a stronger F1 tornado. Experts estimated winds were between 73-112 mph (63-97 kts) based on the damage they inspected. The tornado touched down on the west side of Washington Boulevard at 2100 North. It then travelled east along the north side of Washington Blvd. for approximately 1.25 miles. Two homes sustained major damage from trees falling on them. Parked automobiles at the Health Spa on Washington Blvd. were pushed sideways and 1 car received major damage due to flying debris. Numerous mature trees were downed in the twister's wake. Amazingly only one person sustained slight injuries to her face when windows broke in on her. No other injuries were reported.
