What the National Weather Service wrote
A brief area of significant wind damage occurred along Saathoff Road. The start of the path of wind damage involved the complete roof removal of a farm outbuilding with one wall collapsed inward. Metal roofing material was then scattered downstream to the east into an open field. Beyond the open field, there was some tree damage including one softwood tree snapped at the trunk. Additional damage beyond this tree line along Saathoff Road quickly lessened showing the end of the path of significant wind damage. This damage was separate but approximately 1.3 miles west of the starting point of the Ridgely tornado.
