The storm initially caused damage at the Phillipsburg airport to the windsock and supporting bracket. It then moved NNW resulting in damage to the western parts of the town. It is believed that the initial damage was due to straight-line winds from the airport to just east of the swimming pool (West H Street and West Park Street). At that point, evidence of a tornado was ascertained with damage continuing for approximately one-quarter mile. The width of the tornado damage was narrow, ranging from 30 to 75 yards. The tornado was rated EF-0 at the initial point of touchdown, and then increased to EF-1 near the intersection of Oak and West E Streets. The tornado damaged a few rooftops, a children���s outdoor play set, fencing, and broke a few windows. A few trees were uprooted near the Robinson Greenhouse.
