A tornado touched down near Sibley Road about 1/4 mile east of Woodhaven Road, uprooting two hardwood trees. The track continued north-northwest with damage increasing significantly once the tornado reached Joel McDonald Road. On the far east and south side of the road, two houses had damage to their metal roofs with several sections missing. Barns and sheds in the yards of those homes were no longer intact. A metal roof from one of the sheds was found in a tree just above power line height. Across the street from these two homes were two mobile homes, both parallel to Joel McDonald Road. One mobile home was rolled onto its roof and the other was pushed off its blocks. Both were strapped down, with some straps snapping while others remained attached to the anchors which were uprooted. The tornado continued north-northwest toward Gene McDonald Road. Several trees were uprooted near homes on that road. Front and back porches on two mobile homes were lifted and thrown approximately 30 yards. One mobile home had a 3 foot by 6 foot hole in an exterior wall blown from the inside out. Two sheds were destroyed. The tornado lifted after uprooting two trees near Miller Lane Road. One was on the west side, the other on the east side of the road. One of those trees hit a pickup truck. Maximum wind speed was estimated at 110 mph.
