Extensive straight-line wind damage was found in and around the town of Marenisco with estimated wind speeds up to 90 mph. Some structural damage was found, but most of the damage was uprooted or snapped trees. The main structural damage was significant roof damage to a newly-built garage at the corner of Hall and Mill Streets in Marenisco where over a quarter of the metal roof and decking was stripped back and torn from the roof trusses. A continuous swath of straight-line wind damage started approximately five miles west of town to six miles southeast of town and continued into the Ottawa National Forest. Campers were trapped at Bobcat Lake Campground due to fallen trees, but no injuries were reported. Many roads were closed due to fallen trees in the area, and numerous power outages were reported. The time of the report was estimated from radar.
