Initial damage was to a stand of trees near 5009 Shortsville Road. The tornado then traveled east southeast to the buildings at 4941 Shortsville Road. There, in addition to tree damage, a garage and barn were destroyed. A silo from this location was lifted and sent flying about 200 yards to the South Farmington Cemetery. The tornado downed several large trees at the cemetery. The silo landed in the cemetery and caused damage to a fence and couple of dozen headstones.
