causing roof damage to a home as well as some tree damage on a

few properties. As it was passing northwest of the intersection

pole barn with debris being carried roughly 350 yards to the

east. The final damage was noted at 2 animal barns on S 600 W

where roof lost was noted, the most extensive being on the west
