It then crossed North Union Shelby Road, moved across the Big Woods Reserve, and then moved across the far southeast portions of the town of Fletcher. The tornado lifted about 2 miles northeast of Fletcher in an open field after it removed a portion of a barn roof on Snyder Road.||Damage consisted mainly of broken and snapped off trees and roof damage to barns and outbuildings. Snapped electrical poles were assessed on the east side of Fletcher. Residential structures were impacted either with shingle and soffit removal, or with trees having fallen on them. |
