Additional notes
In this photo, it is
difficult to tell if this damage was caused from a
tornado or
straight-line winds. However, there are subtle signs of rotation.
Notice the piece of debris wrapped around the tree toward the middle of
the photo. It appears this chunk of metal had been blown toward
the house, while the general debris pattern is moving away from the
house. This tornado was weak, and was designated an
EF0 with estimated winds of 80 to 85 mph.
NWS product to cover this event:
Tornado Warning
Safety Note: As seen here, even a weak tornado can do damage to
the exterior of a house, including sending airborne debris into windows.
When a tornado warning is issued, always move into an interior room and
away from windows.
