Continuing east the tornado strengthened to EF-1 intensity and

The tornado continued east through the Edgewood Farms

continued into the southern end of Buck Creek State Park. The

uprooted along the main drive. The tornado crossed the southern

a residence and barn on Mahar Road near its intersection with
Yeazall Road.  Additional tree damage could be seen across a
