A large swath of wind gusts estimated to be between 70 and 85 MPH, with localized gusts near 95 MPH, swept across far southeastern Clay County into southern Fillmore County. Along and near this path, widespread tree damage and power outages occurred, with emergency management reporting at least 250 pivots overturned. Numerous power poles were snapped, several grain bins were destroyed, and a few outbuildings were destroyed. The strongest of these gusts concentrated in an area from near the Clay-Fillmore County line west of Shickley to approximately three miles northeast of Shickley. This area had the majority of the power pole, grain bin, and outbuilding damage. Mesonets in this area measured the following gusts: 78 MPH four miles northeast of Shickley; 77 MPH four miles south of Geneva; 76 MPH three miles east of Shickley; 68 MPH three miles south-southeast of Geneva.
