From the record
What the reports say
Written by National Weather Service staff at the time of the event · public domain
The Evans county Emergency Manager conducted a damage survey and found an old barn was blown over and several 3 to 4 inch diameter tree limbs from pecan trees were knocked down. All the damage was positioned lying in the same direction, and as a result it was determined that the damage was due to straight line winds from a thunderstorm downburst. The damage observed was consistent with wind speeds near 65 mph. Several trees were also reported down in sporadic locations within 1 mile of this location.
