Based on aerial footage and photos, the tornado appeared to have initially touched down in a field just northwest of Dick Road. It then crossed Dick Road and produced damage on a farm. Some roof damage was noted on a single story residence on Dick Road, while a large outbuilding was also destroyed. Aerial footage confirmed evidence of the tornado in the grass and field between Dick Road and Mouser Road. Debris from the outbuilding was also scattered throughout the field between Dick Road and Mouser Road. Additional damage occurred on a property on Mouser Road, where two barns were completely destroyed. The tornado is believed to have then lifted shortly after it destroyed the barns. While the tornado ended before reaching U.S. 22, debris from the destroyed Mouser Road barns was thrown about one quarter of a mile and was noted on the other side of U.S. 22.
Based on the evaluation of the damage, winds associated with this brief tornado were around 85 mph.
