The roof of a residence was lifted and dropped back onto the frame of the house. A large antenna that was cemented into the ground was blown over, which tore the cement block from the ground. Windows were blown out on the southern and northern sides of the house. Debris from the residence was carried approximately 100 yards away. A large, three car garage was partially destroyed just before the tornado lifted. A piece of the roof of the garage fell onto and damaged the motor home inside.
