Microburst winds tore a roof off a barn. One man injured, sustaining fractured right elbow and head injury that required ten stitches. Large branches stripped from a maple tree fell onto the porch of a duplex collapsing part of it's roof. Horse shelter didn't exactly live up it's billing when it was lifted off the ground and blown over the tops of about 15 parked cars at a neighboring towing company.
