Info
At the beginning of the path, a carport collapsed, while a barn and a deer processing business in the northeastern part of Johnston had metal roofing ripped off as a result of this large wedge tornado. Homes sustained shingle and siding damage at multiple points along path, including within the town of Ward, where trees were downed as well. Falling trees caused damage to homes and vehicles, outbuildings were damaged or destroyed, and the top of a concrete silo was destroyed. Many trees were snapped and uprooted along the path, a few of which sustained some low-end debarking.
