In addition, a mobile home just north of these two buildings was completely destroyed and one resident was injured. Multiple trees were downed in this area as well. The tornado continued to track to the north northeast, crossing Smith Island Road and moving well into the marsh east of Smith Island Road. The tornado weakened some before reaching the north side of the island, but still severely damaged an outbuilding just west of the local post office. It also overturned a golf cart, which fell into Levering Creek. The tornado moved back into the Chesapeake Bay shortly after crossing Levering Creek.
