A National Weather Service Storm Survey Team confirmed a microburst with winds to 95 mph. The most significant structural damage occurred to a small three-bay auto garage on Juniper Street near Highway 9 in Clio. This brick and cinder block structure lost its sheet metal roof just before the exterior walls collapsed. Two people took shelter inside the building just before the storm hit and were not injured. The roof of the building was lifted and blown approximately 100 yards. A snapped power pole appeared to be the result of the airborne roof. Trees were also down. The damage pattern was indicative of a strong and narrow microburst. The microburst was estimated to be 20 yards wide and 100 yards long.
A strong thunderstorm moved through the town of Clio, with reports of trees down. Two homes sustained major damage due to the falling trees. Newspaper reports also indicated both corn and cotton crops sustaining damage. Northeast of the city, 911 reported large tree limbs down. A trained spotter also reported dime size hail on Highway 83.
