Hurricane Ian's slow movement and large wind field led to a long period of tropical storm force winds in Lake County. Scattered reports of trees and power lines downed, as well as generally minor damage to roofs, awnings, fences, and pool enclosures due to strong winds, which surface observations indicated peaked between 60 and 70 mph.
Video provided by FOX 35 showed at least a dozen power poles snapped along the west side of US 27 from Riddick Grove Rd extending southward for a few hundred yards. At least 11 poles snapped or knocked down.
A NWS storm survey revealed an EF-1 tornado with estimated wind speeds between 95 and 100 mph developed near East 8th Avenue in Umatilla, uprooting and snapping several trees in an open field. The tornado moved toward a residential neighborhood between East 8th Avenue and East Collins Street and peeled back the roofs from several homes and uprooted numerous trees. Damage continued into North Lake Community Park where a scoreboard was toppled and three power poles were snapped. The tornado moved across Lake Pearl and into the Olde Mill RV resort where it destroyed approximately ten recreational vehicles and damaged at least 25 others. The tornado continued west toward downtown Umatilla and damaged the roofs of the Umatilla Inn, an elementary school, and a home on Babb Road. DI24, DOD4, LB-EXP; DI28, DOD4, LB-EXP; DI3, DOD7, LB.
