What the National Weather Service wrote
A microburst hit an egg facility causing the collapse of three large barns and damaging another. This resulted in the fatalities of two men working in one of the collapsed structures. A large rooftop air conditioning unit was also pushed off the roof of an adjacent administrative building. Around the area there were several trees down and numerous broken limbs. In addition to the fatalities, four injuries were also reported.
The wider storm
A very unstable air mass was in place with temperatures in the 90s and dew points in the upper 70s. While forcing was weak, there was enough lift ahead of a mid-level impulse to spark widespread convection in the form of a mesoscale convective system.
Began near Johnstown (40.1880, -82.6960).
