The tornado first touched down just south of Owl Branch Road west of the intersection with Cherry Lane. Several large tree branches were snapped off in this location and several tree tops were broken. The tornado travelled to the southeast. On the west side of Cherry Lane, a wall of a garage on the north side of the home was pushed in about 6 inches and some shingles were removed. Also, several large tree limbs were snapped off. The tornado crossed Cherry Lane and damaged a few more trees before lifting and dissipating. The tornado was rated EF0. It was on the ground for 1.44 miles and the max path width was 30 yards.
Several inches of rain fell in a short amount of time on frozen ground causing flash flooding. About 3 miles east of Jerseyville, Illinois Route 16 was flooded.
A line of severe storms moved across Jersey county blowing down numerous trees, tree limbs and power lines. In Jerseyville, a microburst caused extensive damage to two businesses. One business sustained roof and window damage and the other just had its windows blown out. Several of the large trees that fell, fell onto unoccupied vehicles causing severe damage. One tree fell onto a patio roof collapsing it. Several witnesses from Jerseyville indicated that winds of 60 mph and greater occurred for approximately 3 to 5 minutes with the strongest gusts occurring near the early stages of heavy rainfall.
A tornado touched down near the intersection of Woodlawn Park Drive and Lakeview Drive in the Crystal Lake Subdivision. Numerous trees and tree limbs were blown down in the subdivision. Also, one home sustained minor soffit and siding damage. The tornado continued to the northeast, blowing down additional tree limbs and a couple of acres of corn on the south side of Sunderland Road as well as tree limbs on the north side of the road before lifting and dissipating.
