No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
Storms caused sporadic straight-line wind damage over a path roughly one mile long and about one-half mile wide. The estimated 65 mph peak winds uprooted trees and broke off large limbs. One tree fell on a mobile home while the owner was sitting nearby and caused a fire to break out in the kitchen when it landed on a stove. Fallen trees caused damage to other houses and totaled at least one vehicle. In addition a portion of the roof of the county road commission garage was tore off.
