A tornado left about a two mile path of damage across York Road, south of Hereford, east toward the town of Monkton. At one farm 15 trees of various types were snapped and uprooted. One spruce fell into the living room of the farmhouse and separated the wrap-around porch from the main house. At the next farm, a tree fell on a car with a woman inside. It smashed the windshield but she was unharmed. Fences were blown down like toothpicks and an estimated 50 trees were lost. Across York Road, a tree fell on a house damaging the attic and a bedroom. Rain caused some additional damage inside the home. Another home closer to Monkton had heavy tree damage around it. About 800 homes lost power in the Monkton area.
