The tornado began along highway 14 just east of Claud and ended along highway 229 in Burlington. Damage consisted of downed trees and some structural damage caused by fallen trees. A few homes also had damage caused directly by wind, such as missing shingles, soffit, and fascia. A carport was also blown off a home.
