[td]The tornado first produced damage on Falnud Street, almost immediately becoming intense as it moved to the northeast, where homes were shifted off their foundations and porches suffered damage. As the tornado moved through the downtown and industrial portions of Rockford it killed numerous people, collapsing several factory buildings. One factory building, the Rockford Chair and Furniture Factory, saw the loss of 8 workers with many more injuries. The tornado continued moving to the northeast as it entered central [[Boone County, Illinois|Boone County]], damaging rural properties and farms. It retained EF0 and EF1 intensity before lifting near North Boone School Road.[/td] [td][/td]
