            DELAEYD REPORT. NWS meteorologists on a
            storm survey team confirmed an EF1 tornado
            with estimated peak winds of 100 mph and a
            path length of 3.25 miles. The tornado began
            0.5 miles south southeast of the
            intersection between E Valencia Rd. and S
            Kolb Rd. near a commercial fulfillment
            center. It moved southeast and then east
            along E Valencia Rd. The tornado then
            crossed E Old Vail Rd. and entered the north
            end of the Rita Ranch neighborhood. The
            tornado then weakened before eventually
            dissipating 0.1 miles west of S Frost Dr.
            The tornado was on the ground for
            approximately 10 minutes and uprooted
            multiple large trees... tossed and
            overturned a metal shipping container... and
            caused other minor tree and roof damage. The
            strongest winds occurred as the tornado was
            immediately west of and as it crossed E Old
            Vail Rd. where EF1 damage was located. EF0
            damage was observed elsewhere along the
            path.
