Our first high-day! Also the start of an outbreak.

Mizpah-Starbuck EF4

The tornado near the start

This tornado was the first of the day, it started near Keysota Lake, then traveled through the Keysota State Forest, then continued to go through rural area and eventually go off the radar. Had this tornado hit either Mizpah or Starbuck, it wouldve been disastorous due to its sheer power and size.
