A National Weather Service team surveyed damage in Zephyr. They found evidence of tornado damage consistent with an EF1 tornado, with estimated wind speeds from 86 to 110 mph. Along its path, the tornado overturned a small residence and threw it 50 feet from its foundation. Thankfully, the resident of the home was uninjured. The tornado tore off several roofs. It destroyed awnings and power lines, snapped power poles and trees and damaged a grandstand. The tornado wrapped the metal of a roof tightly around a tree as it blew out the wall of a store.
