Near and just south of |Amity road, the tornado moved east-northeast producing primarily |tree damage with sporadic damage to outbuildings through Thunder |Road. Near Thunder Road, the tornado damaged several mobile homes,|overturning one, and pushing several off of their blocks. As the |tornado continued its east-northeast track, it began to damage |more buildings, some commercial, industrial, and residential as it|moved towards Central Ave in the Lake Hamilton area. Most of the |damage to buildings was done to siding, doors, windows, and roofs.|The tornado moved over the lake, damaging some of the floating |docks and continued on alternatively over water and hitting |structures on the many peninsulas that jut out into the lake. A |couple of large condos on the lakefront sustained the most severe |damage, removing large portions of the roofing structure amongst |other damage. Many houses were severely damaged by large trees |falling onto the homes. Many roofs were damaged by tornado winds |directly. On the east side of the lake, another community was |damaged by the tornado until the tornado moved east, crossing |Shady Grove Road, where no more damage was found. This tornado |was rated an EF2 with maximum estimated winds up to 120 mph. |
