The tornado began along a wooded area west of Holland Road and

convergent swirls within crops along the wooded area. The tornado
continued northeast, remaining west of Holland Road. A property
near the intersection of Holland Road and Oxford Pike received
minor damage. An outbuilding sustained roof panel loss and the
residence had minor roof damage along with blown out windows.
Tree damage observed around the property was also convergent. The
