The National Weather Service confirmed straight-line wind damage off of State Route 772 in Buchanan.  Three mobile homes were knocked off their foundation, picked up, lifted 20 yards, and were completely destroyed.  The roof of one mobile home was carried approximately 50 yards in the same direction.  Two additional mobile homes remained on their foundation and sustained minor damage.  Approximately five trees were also uprooted.  Damage in this case was determined to be straight-line because there were indications that all of the structures were blown consistently to the southeast.  The mobile homes were subject to high winds because they were located at the summit of a hill in an open field.  This allowed severe thunderstorm winds to lift the mobile homes off their foundations.  Five people in mobile homes were injured when their mobile homes were knocked off of their foundations.  The five people were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
