Another microburst occurred at the intersection of West Washington and North Smith Street.  A grocery store lost much of its roof and was displaced into the parking lot south of the store.  A fatality occurred in the parking lot where debris from the roof shattered the front window of a car killing the 28 year old woman who was in the vehicle at the time.  A person in a nearby car sustained minor injuries from the flying debris as well.  Additional minor roof damage occurred at the Cuba post office where some of the roofing material was peeled off.
