Widespread damage occurred in and around the Rush Springs area during the pre-dawn hours. Two areas of rotation occurred along the gust front, one moving through northern Rush Springs, and another moving across the south. The heaviest damage, with wind gusts estimated at 90-100 mph, occurred over the south side of town. In total, four unanchored mobile homes were destroyed. The former diner (Blue's Diner) located on Highway 81b was mostly destroyed, and the walk-in freezer was thrown approximately 40 yards. Several other structures were heavily damaged or destroyed and several large trees were uprooted. Seven distribution poles and nine transmission poles were downed. Numerous other power lines were also downed across Highway 81. The power lines and debris caused the closure of Highway 81 for several hours. Much of the town was without power for several hours. In addition to the structures, several automobiles were heavily damaged from the flying debris. Monetary damages were estimated.
