A tornado touched down southwest of Jerry City and then moved northeast for approximately four and a half miles before dissipating. Seven homes sustained varying degrees of roof damage and three garages were destroyed on the southwest side of Jerry City. To the northeast a few hundred yards, the city maintenance garage was leveled. As the tornado exited Jerry City, it knocked a house off of it's foundation. From Jerry City, the tornado moved northeast across open farmland and destroyed a large barn as it crossed Huffman Road. A home on Bloomdale Road was slightly damaged with the tornado finally lifting near Reynolds Road just north of State Route 281. Several vehicles were destroyed by this tornado and hundreds of trees downed along the damage path which was no more than 50 yards in width.
