All of the roof blew in the same general direction. The east wall of the pole barn, which is one of the short sides of the barn, blew out falling towards State Road 111. The base of the wall remained near it original location. ||An approximate 90 to 95 mph out of the north-northwest wind got under the roof's overhang and was able to peel the roof off, and push the east side wall out. The only other damage in the area was minor tree damage. |
