Just west of Hot Springs, thunderstorm winds damaged two businesses in a strip mall. At a dollar store, winds blew in through a roll-up garage door in the back, traveled through the store and rearranged some of the merchandise, then blew out the front doors. Part of the ceiling and ceiling tiles were left sagging in the front of the store. A consignment shop next door also had ceiling tiles fall. At the same intersection, a second dollar store had a window blown out, part of the roof damaged, and sagging ceiling tiles. Also at the same intersection, a portable storage building was blown off its concrete blocks and destroyed. In nearby areas, numerous trees and power lines were blown down, and a number of power poles were snapped off. Several of the trees fell on houses. A billboard was partially destroyed. A small barn was destroyed. On Rock Creek Bay, part of the western end of Lake Hamilton, a boat dock and party barge were overturned.
