The small short-lived EF-1 tornado developed just south of Tank Road, quickly moving northeast. The tornado snapped a few trees and a power pole on the south side of the road. It also destroyed a shed and ripped some shingles off of a nearby home. As the tornado moved across the street, it ripped the porch covering and part of a roof off of a home. Several large limbs were snapped. A second home on the north side of the street lost a large section of roofing off of a shed and a carport awning. Winds peaked around 95 mph. A weak tornadic debris signature was noted on radar with this storm.
