Widespread damage was noted to several homes, businesses, and trees along the tornadoes path.

Several homes sustained damage due to garage doors collapsing in the wind and ultimately lifting the roofs off of the homes. One home sustained slightly more damage than the rest, as two exterior walls were also blown out.
