What the National Weather Service wrote

NWS storm survey determined straight line wind damage near Millington Road with estimated maximum wind speeds of 80 to 90 mph. Along Coleman Road, the start of significant wind damage occurred as multiple trees were uprooted and large tree branches were snapped. A farm outbuilding also experienced removal of metal roofing that was scattered to the east into an open field. As the swath of wind damage continued, there was additional farm outbuilding damage near Mud Ford Lane as the roof of an outbuilding was removed with the debris being scattered to the east up to half a mile away. It was at this point that the damage path width was at its widest, with about one mile from the damage on Coleman Road to the damage on Mud Ford Lane. The damage continued towards Millington Road where multiple power poles were snapped, large tree branches were snapped, and additional metal roofing was peeled off a farm outbuilding. Significant wind damage was estimated to have ended near Higman Mill Road as the last point of damage was metal roofing removed from another farm outbuilding.
