Northwest parts of the county were struck hardest by very strong winds associated with the comma head of a bow echo. Widespread tree and power line damage occurred. The most intense destruction was in the Wolf Lake and Alto Pass areas. About 25 homes sustained damage in the county. Power outages were widespread. Numerous trees were snapped along Illinois Route 127, mainly north of Anna. The highway was closed while fire and highway personnel worked to clear it. A large tree fell in Anna, taking down power lines and a couple utility poles.
