into northeastern Lincoln County and caused a 20 mile length of damage consistent with 80 to 110 mph wind

replaced within the past two years. Tree limbs were downed, a few trees uprooted or snapped at the trunk. 
Several buildings sustained roof damage, some metal sheds lost large sections of siding and one shed destroyed.
