This weak tornado briefly touched down just northeast of Sandy Hook on Will Alexander Road and damaged one home taking a small portion of the roof off and downing several trees. An eye witness saw the funnel just above the tree tops, then shortly after it crossed Highway 43 debris began flying in the air. That was the time the funnel became a tornado and when damage occurred on Will Alexander Road.
