The next evidence of the tornado was found in a field to the west

of the field. The tornado moved east-northeast across Shawhan

A few residences along Shawhan Road sustained minor roof damage,

and structural damage to homes along Browning Lane. As the tornado
moved back across Shawhan Road, additional tree and minor
structural damage to residences was noted between Shawhan and
