The tornado then crossed Route 145 and moved in to Tony's Marina. Three metal outbuildings were damaged or destroyed. One of the buildings had its doors blown in...another had its metal roof peeled back...and the third was leveled and blown 300 yards downwind. Trees were uprooted in a convergent pattern. Some trees fell on power poles, causing the poles to snap. A pontoon boat was flipped over. |
