An EF1 tornado began just to the west of W Jefferson Ave and south of Gibraltar Road. The tornado remained at EF1 strength up to the Navarre Street and Young Drive area, before weakening to EF0 strength for the remainder of the path. The tornado then crossed the Detroit River before dissipating at the north end of Elba Island in Grosse Ile Township. Damage included multiple large limbs and trees downed, a roof partially blown off and power lines downed.
The weak tornado touched down to the southwest of Gibraltar Road and West Jefferson Avenue in the Brownstown Creek area. The tornado traveled southeast across West Jefferson Avenue and south Gibralter Road where multiple trees were topped, large tree limbs snapped and uprooted trees. The tornado crossed the northern portion of Edmond Island before continuing southeast to Horse Island where it eventually dissipated. Damage across the islands included large tree limbs downed, snapped trees, and a large tree downed on a trailer. Maximum winds were estimated to be 90 mph.
