The tornado continued east-northeast and crossed Paul Lee Parkway and State Docks Road, where more trees were uprooted, the side of a metal building structure was removed, and three units of an apartment complex sustained partial roof damage. The tornado then caused another area of significant tree damage between Cypress Cove Drive and Inlet Road.
