What the National Weather Service wrote
The first instance of damage was found along East Jackson Road,
where one tree was snapped. Damage continued along East Jackson
Road with an awning lifted off a house and lifted into a tree
behind the house. In addition, the gutter was pulled off the house
and was found lying over the roof. Approximately 200 yards to the
northeast of this damage, a barn was destroyed, with metal
roofing blown in multiple directions. Another larger barn lost a
wall due to wind damage.
Damage was also found to the northeast on Selma Pike where the
Pitchin Fire Department experienced minor roof damage exhibited by
numerous roof shingles blown off to the southeast of the
structure. An eyewitness at an adjacent residence stated he saw a
tornado cross over Selma Pike. Further northeast, damage was also
found along Old Springfield Road where two uprooted evergreen
trees were noted, and several large limbs had been tossed in
multiple directions.
On Limerick Road, one uprooted deciduous tree was observed. Then,
on East Pitchin Road between Ridge Road and Craig Road, a large
tree was snapped off.
Along Craig Road, a two story home lost multiple shingles, which
were found scattered across an adjacent field. In addition,
multiple second story soffit boards had been blown off. Further
down Craig Road, another residence had siding removed from the
storm and a large tree was blown down. Near where Craig Road
intersects with Old 70 Road, a barn was blown over, and metal
roofing was found scattered into neighboring property, including
one six foot piece found impaled into the siding of a house.
On Old 70 Road, multiple trees were blown down, and multiple roofing
shingles from a house were blown off. One of these shingles
was wedged into the window framing on the northeast-facing side of
the house. Along Fletcher Pike, a few trees were also observed to
be blown down.
The last damage seen along the track was on Newlove Road. Here, a
metal barn roof was lifted and thrown into an adjacent field. This
was the apparent end of the tornado.
