NWS confirms weak tornado touched down in Thurston County

A brief, weak tornado touched down Friday afternoon in Thurston County.

The National Weather Service said video sent to them by residents showed the cloud touchdown in a field southeast of Grand Mound, south of the Tenino Grand Mound Road.

It happened at about 2 p.m.

There were no reports of injuries or damage as a result of the tornado, so The National Weather Service did not send out a survey crew.
The tornado was ranked as an "EF-U" by The National Weather Service.

An EF-U rating means that a tornado was given a rating of unknown strength. That's because tornados are rated based on the damage they cause, but in this case, there was no damage reported.
