Winds in excess of 70 mph tore the shingles off roofs and downed numerous tree limbs and power lines closing roads around Crab Orchard. Two grain bins were blown off their foundation and 2 vehicles were damaged when trees were toppled onto them. The wind was accompanied by small hail which accumulated up to 2 inches deep and many corn and soybean fields received extensive damage. The Johnson County Farm Service Agency reported that approximately 32,000 acres of row crop were affected by the storm.
