            This wind swath started on the west side of
            the airport and moved across the southern
            potion of the airport property, uprooting
            several trees and snapping trunks. It then
            moved across the Metro Parkway/El Dorado
            Road area, causing widespread tree damage
            and minor roof damage. One fatality occurred
            off of El Dorado Road. The swath ended in
            the Crossgates Subdivision, where the tree
            damage became more scattered to isolated.
            Peak winds estimated between 70-80 mph. The
            swath length was estimated to be 4.4 miles
            and width 1.5 miles. The event occurred
            between 10:37 - 10:45 pm.
