Survey Summary: A tornado touched down south of Ball Road and just
east of McRay Drive. The tornado moved southeast, snapping and
uprooting numerous softwood and hardwood trees. The most extensive
damage was from southern Ball Loop Drive to Leah Street where
several houses and vehicles were damaged by uprooted trees. The
