“Throughout the path, numerous large tree limbs and hardwood trees were knocked down, may pointing in opposing directions,” NWS officials said in the statement. “Shingles were also removed from multiple sides of several residences.”
Farther east from the Westwood neighborhood, tree damage and some structural damage occurred at an apartment complex, where the roof was removed from both buildings.
NWS officials said that earlier in the day on Thursday, “Damage in this area had already been determined to be a result of straight-line winds… with maximum winds between 90 and 100 mph.”
Hamilton County Emergency Management officials and affected homeowners assisted weather service investigators with the damage survey, according to the NWS statement.
