A National Weather Service survey team has given a preliminary estimate of a tornado Sunday night in Adams county as an EF-1, or “weak.” The 350-yard wide twister packed peak winds of 100 mph, with a path length of 4.2 miles. It began 9.1 miles north/northeast of Prescott at around 6:25-p.m. and headed south before turning east and ending 8.2-miles north/northeast of Prescott at around 6:50-p.m.
