A large, slow-moving, and long-lived tornado touched down over the Sheep Mountains in Carter County, Montana. Moving northeast the tornado obliterated a trailer home, twisting its frame and tossing debris over 1 mi (1.6 km) away. Nearby, a small, old-frame home was completely destroyed with only its basement left behind. Debris from this structure was thrown 100 yd (91 m) while nearby cars were found 200 yd (180 m) away. Twenty power poles were snapped along the track, one of which was pulled out of the ground. Additionally, hay bales weighing up to 1,500 lb (680 kg) were blown away and not recovered. The tornado continued into Custer National Forest and ultimately dissipated roughly an hour after touching down. This was the strongest tornado ever recorded in southeastern Montana.
