Near the intersection of Highways 147 and 145, the roof of a house was heavily damaged. A large portion of the shingles were stripped off, and seven large trees were snapped off or uprooted. One of the largest trees landed on the house. A machine shed used to store a camper was destroyed, along with a smaller shed. A few other houses in the area sustained relatively minor siding and shingle damage. There were numerous reports of downed tree limbs and power lines.
