Several dozens trees downed. Seven homes suffered minor roof and structural damage from fallen trees. An additional home suffered major structural damage when a twelve ton tree fell on the roof of an upstairs bedroom. The roof over the bedroom was destroyed and one of the exterior walls was split by the tree. The split in the wall allowed heavy thunderstorms rains to spill into the ground level of the house causing significant water damage. The remaining walls of the home were bowed by the weight of the tree. Two barns and seven cars were also damaged by fallen trees.
