A wide swath of damaging wind accompanied a brief tornado that touched down 7 SW Philbrook.  The NWS damage survey, however, determined that the vast majority of the damage in northeastern Todd County was due to the strong wind associated with this tornadic storm.  The swath of damaging wind was about six miles wide and 9 miles long in Todd County (it continued for another three miles in Morrison County - see corresponding entry).  Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of trees were downed by the winds that blew from northeast to southwest.  Some trees fell on houses, outbuildings, and vehicles.  Many trees were felled in the community of Philbrook.
