One very large, healthy limb fell across the roof of a house causing significant damage. Many smaller buildings were destroyed. The tornado then continued northeast, shearing off more tree limbs, before reaching interstate 88. An eyewitness there backed up his pickup to get out of the way of the tornado. After crossing I-88, more tree damage was evident for about 200 yards. The damage path became more diffuse before it crossed state route 206, where it quickly dissipated.

The maximum width of the damage was about 300 yards, with the core damage from the tornado around 75 yards.
