Multiple intense downbursts, on the scale of microbursts, occurred just north of downtown Weston.  The damage first occurred along Geelick Road, but increased as the wind descended into the West Fork River Valley in the Smith Village section of Weston.  The included such roads as Cody Lane, Butchers Lane, and Garton Avenue.    The worst damage was in the river valley, after crossing the river, in Deanville.  The damage path fanned out to as wide as 250 yards.  The highest wind gust of around 100 mph was estimated here.  Homes were damaged or destroyed along such streets as Forinash Road and Dovenor Street.  Sheets of the corrugated metal roof to the Deanville stockyard were twisted and ripped off.  Trees were snapped and fell onto power lines.  As a result, the adjacent power poles snapped.  One manufactured home was moved off its foundation, even though it had anchor bolts.   A garage roof was lifted off.  Sections of its cinderblock walls collapsed.  Severe damage occurred to many roofs.
Winds from the microbursts also channeled up the hollow along Lynn Avenue.  Further east, scattered tree damage occurred along Smith Run Road.
Luckily, nobody was injured.  The initial damage assessments had between 2 to 4 homes destroyed.  Major damage occurred to another 5 to 6 homes.
Lewis County was added to the existing FEMA disaster number 1918.
