An old barn was peeled open and sections of its walls and roof were flung to the north. Timbers from the barn penetrated into a home located 80 yards to the north. A Davis wind sensor located just west of the main tornado path registered a 68 mph south wind followed by a rapid shift to a 66 mph west wind. One older power pole located a half mile north-northeast of the farmstead was also cracked. Peak winds were estimated at 105 mph.
