The tornado continued southeast towards homes on a family`s property. Trees were downed here with some outfieldings` roofs damaged. Residents of one home said a set of 2nd story windows popped out and fell to the ground. Another nearby resident said all the interior doors of their home opened up as the tornado passed by. A security camera video showed a white intense area of rainfall moving across the property in an area where a row of trees ended up getting snapped.The tornado continued east southeastward toward a home near the intersection of Jones Nursery Rd and Combs Ferry Rd. The resident was in a nearby attached garage when it went through. He witnessed the rains going in one direction before the tornado hit and then switch quickly to a different direction behind it. One section of the main home`s roof was completely taken off and thrown east southeast. The wind hit the west-facing garage doors flush, causing both doors to buckle but not collapse. The brick work in between the doors was buckled as well. No further damage was noted southeast of this property, so the tornado appeared to have lifted by this point.There were several trees downed on the south side of the tornado, likely with strong inflow winds. Jones Nursery Rd had trees down all along the road, but most of the damage had been cleaned up before the survey occurred.Thanks to the multiple family residents of Combs Ferry Rd who gave us a tour of their property, and thanks to Clark County Emergency Management for giving us the details of where the damage occurred. && 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. $$ RJS
