Eaton Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
Several trees and power lines were downed in the Eaton area.
Trees and power lines were blown down across portions of State Route 503 near Gratis Road and in other locations across the county. An unofficial gust to 70 mph was measured near Lewisburg, and a roof was partially peeled from a structure in Eaton.
State Route 177 was closed due to downed power lines just northwest of Fairhaven.
The beginning of the observed damage was at a property on the east side of Toby Road. Numerous trees were snapped or uprooted at this location, with facade damage to a house, likely caused at least in part by impact from the falling trees. Minor tree damage was also observed northeast of this location along Miller Williams Road.||Extensive tree damage was noted at a property on Washington Jackson Road, about a half mile west of U.S. 35. The most significant structural damage at this location was the complete removal of the west-facing portion of the roof over the smaller section of the house. There was also significant damage to siding on the east-facing side of the same house, with mud and dirt splatter noted against the south and east facing walls. Significant shingle loss was also noted on the roof of the larger section of the house. Further to the northeast, one power pole was downed on U.S. 35.||Damage at a property on Eaton New Hope Road was among the more significant observed from this tornado. A barn was heavily damaged, with the collapse of the western side of the structure, including a masonry wall. Much of the material from this section of the barn was carried northeast, with a large amount of sheet metal carried over 600 feet in distance, and a few pieces of sheet metal carried as far as 2000 feet away. Tree damage was extensive at this property as well. At the next property to the northeast, a house suffered siding loss on multiple sides, with a few trees and large limbs also snapped.||A few trees were downed along both sides of Eaton Gettysburg Road, about a half mile north of the intersection with Eaton New Hope Road. The end of the observed damage was to several trees to the east of the intersection of U.S. 127 and State Route 726.||Based on the damage to the home on Washington Jackson Road and to the barn on Eaton New Hope Road, an EF1 rating was assigned, with an estimated maximum wind speed of 90 mph.
