Along Brunty Hollow Road, a porch was ripped off a house along with a portion of its roof. There was sporadic tree damage and a couple power poles were snapped off at the top. At least one vehicle was hit by a fallen tree. On Saxon Road near Shiloh, a pole barn had part of its roofing taken off. At one point, downed trees blocked many local roads. Most of the damage occurred in clearings within valleys, where trees on the edge of the forested land took the burnt of the force. Due to channeling down the valleys, wind speeds could have reached 70 mph.
