PRESCOTT – An F-1 tornado was confirmed to have struck Nevada County Saturday.

According to Nevada County Judge Mark Glass, there was some storm damage in the county with the tornado confirmed. Glass said the twister went over NC-2 and may have damaged the Jack Daniels Farm in Bodcaw. However, he added, this could have been from straight line winds.

Overall, though, there wasn’t much damage from Saturday’s storm.

Prescott Mayor Terry Oliver said the city got lucky as well, though there were reports of a couple of trees being down  and the roof to the hanger at the airport was damaged. Oliver said the storm mostly went around Prescott.
