Meteorologist Joe Sullivan, his survey team, Breeding Fire Department and Adair County Emergency Management were in the Breeding Community on July 13, 2015, conducting a damage survey. The National Weather Service Survey Team determined that the Breeding Community had an EF-0 tornado.



This tornado was part of the severe storm that passed through Monday evening. An EF-0 tornado is considered a weak tornado on the enhanced fujita scale with 65 to 85 MPH winds. I would like to thank the Breeding Fire Department for their help in yesterday's survey and debris removal the night of the incident.

Included below is Joe Sullivan's preliminary NWS Report.
