One home was heavily damaged with most of the roof gone. The home was an older structure with lath roofing and no bracing in the rafters. Major tree blown down occurred in two locations. One location was near Tharpe Road, north of Arabia Bay. The second area was near Keaton Farm Road and the Guest Millpond area off of U.S. Highway 441. The tornado weakened near Cogdell and Sandy Bottom in Atkinson County.
