A National Weather Service damage survey determined that a microburst with peak winds near 90 mph struck the St. Joseph and West Louisville area. The most significant structural damage occurred less than a mile north of St. Joseph, where a storage shed sustained extensive damage. The west-facing wall collapsed inward, despite the presence of hurricane straps. Roofing and roof trusses were blown to the east across County Road 500. A pull-behind covered trailer weighing over 2,000 pounds was pushed about 30 feet. At a house adjacent to the trailer and metal shed, there was partial loss of shingles, along with minor damage to windows, decking, and gutters. Some of the damage appeared to be associated with a short, brief gustnado. Elsewhere across the affected area, most of the damage consisted of scattered snapped and uprooted trees, some of which were several feet in diameter. Several old wooden barns were damaged or destroyed, and a few outbuildings were damaged. A mobile home was unroofed. Over 100 trees were down at a campground on Diamond Lake near West Louisville. A few of the trees landed on campers or vehicles. There were some downed power poles and lines. The total length of the damage area was three miles, and the width was about 2.2 miles.
