A tree had reportedly fallen across a power line at the intersection of Highway 87 and Elwell Ferry Road.
A team from the National Weather Service conducted a survey and found that a poorly constructed single wide trailer had three-quarters of its roof removed. Two people were inside the home at the time the damage occurred, but were not injured.There was a snapped pine tree and a snapped rotted hardwood tree nearby. A few ornamental trees, some of which were also rotted were snapped along Baltimore Road. Power lines were also reported down. The damage pattern was consistent with straight line winds up to 60 mph. Time of event was estimated based on radar data.
A National Weather Service Storm Survey Team concluded an EF0 tornado briefly touched down, moving across Elwell Ferry Road, south of Highway 211. Tree damage was observed. One of the trees snapped and fell across power lines and onto the road causing local power outages. Debris was strewn across a field on the east side of the road where the tornado quickly dissipated. The maximum wind speed was estimated to 60 mph. The path length was just over a tenth of a mile and the maximum path width was 20 yards.
Downed trees caused several power outages.
