  The white arrows highlighting the tornado scar in the image show how it moved south initially, then made a cyclonic loop, before eventually heading back to the northeast. According to the NWS, the path of the tornado was in mostly rural portions of Adams County and Adair County. It was rated EF1, leaving some damage to silos and farm buildings about 8 miles north-northeast of Prescott, Iowa.
