The tornado moved eastward and toppled several large trees shortly after touchdown, then turned to more of a east-southeast direction. After tracking about one-quarter mile, the tornado did the greatest damage along its track at the Beaver Valley Lutheran Church, where a large portion of the roof was removed. The tornado continued another couple tenths of a mile across open fields before it dissipated. The estimated maximum wind speed was 105 mph and the average path width was 50 yards.
