Trees were snapped and uprooted in Salem. Large trees were downed with multiple power and telephone lines down. Trained spotter estimated the wind speed at 75 mph.

A large metal business building also suffered damage, with part of a wall blown out and the roof peeled back. A metal shop lost part of a roof as well. A few sheds were destroyed, with a carport thrown across a road. Power lines and power poles were downed, with dozens of trees snapped or uprooted. The tornado dissipated about 3 miles north of Saddle. |
