            DELAYED REPORT: A likely tornado tracked
            from the north side of the Columbus airport,
            across open fields to the east. Several
            wooden power poles were snapped along 3rd
            Avenue. Winds north of the track were out of
            the NW and winds at the Columbus AWOS, south
            of the track, were out of the SSW,
            supporting the likelihood of this being a
            tornado embedded in a downburst.
