The Certified Auto Glass building was destroyed, there was widespread roof and sign damage, storage building and garage doors were damaged, windows were blown out, and numerous reports of fences, trees, and utility poles blown down.
Thunderstorm winds damaged trees around and to the west of the A&E Ranch entrance near CR 102 and Highway 180. In addition, a salt water storage tank was tipped over near the entrance of the ranch. Radar evidence suggests the tornadic development process may have been in progress at the time, resulting in the localized high winds, but a tornado did not develop.
