A downburst produced intermittent wind damage across eastern Washington County. The damage began, and was most widespread around Wingett Run where one barn was destroyed and a house had minor roof damage and the glass broken out of a storm door. The damage then extended eastward to the Ohio River in New Matamoras. Hundreds of trees were uprooted or snapped and numerous power lines were taken down along the roughly 9 mile path.
