Thunderstorm downburst winds gusted to as much as 85 mph and caused extensive damage across the southern tier of townships in Geauga County. Sporadic damage was also reported further north in the county. The damage began west of Bainbridge at the county line and continued east to the Parkman area. The damage was most concentrated in the Bainbridge area. Hundreds of trees were snapped or uprooted and many utility poles were damaged. Many homes lost roofing or siding and several others were damaged by fallen trees. There were reports of road closures because of fallen trees and lines. A tower at the Auburn Township Fire Department was toppled by the strong winds. Just to the east in Troy Township, a moving vehicle was struck by a falling tree trapping the occupant. No serious injuries were reported. Power outages were widespread and in some cases took several days to be restored. Some of the school districts in Geauga County closed on November 6th because of power outages.
