On the tornadoes short track, it caused an approximately 40-yard-wide swath of tree damage visible via both Sentinel 2 satellite imagery and broadcast media supplied damage photos. Most the damage was in the form of tree uproots and snaps, with only minor roofing damage to one of the homes on Hall Road. It is possible the tornado tracked further northeast; however additional clearer high resolution satellite imagery will be needed for any further track adjustments.",
