A short-lived tornado began along the Union County line, just southwest of Cypress, and tracked east along a rural road before dissipating at State Route 37. A small barn, about 150 square feet in area, was blown across the road. Some pieces of wood were stuck in the ground at an angle up to 200 feet away. One house sustained siding damage. Another house had a portion of its roof lifted up and placed back down again. A bedroom in the house was damaged. In addition, very minor damage occurred to a greenhouse, an abandoned house, and a couple of mobile homes. Trees, power lines, and power poles were down along the path of the tornado. Large trees, two feet in diameter, were blown down in between two mobile homes. Along Route 37, six power poles were snapped off about two feet above the ground. A female motorist was injured when her moving vehicle was struck by a falling tree. She was treated and released from a local hospital for minor injuries. Just north of Cypress, several large trees were down, but this damage was likely due to straight-line thunderstorm winds.
