It appears the roof was removed due to a garage door failure leading to almost complete removal. An exterior wall in the garage was bowed out; however, a lower wind speed was assigned due to the failure mode being the garage door and absolute lack of any other damage surrounding the house. The tornado then crossed northwest across Brighton Dr and dissipated near Brandy Ct while snapping some large hardwood branches and a fence blown inward resulting in a convergent path. && EF Scale: The Enhanced Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes into the following categories: EF0.....65 to 85 mph EF1.....86 to 110 mph EF2.....111 to 135 mph EF3.....136 to 165 mph EF4.....166 to 200 mph EF5.....>200 mph NOTE: The information in this statement is preliminary and subject to change pending final review of the event and publication in NWS Storm Data. $$
