            This EF1 tornado began just south of Route
            18 east of Passaic. Some of the worst damage
            of the tornado affected a farm property,
            where one outbuilding collapsed, another had
            a garage door blown off, and multiple trees
            were damaged or uprooted. Large debris from
            the damaged property was blown well
            northeast, in some cases over 100 yards. The
            tornado tracked northeast, damaging a grove
            of trees to the south of SH 18 and producing
            minor damage to an outbuilding and mobile
            home on the north side of the highway. The
            tornado then tracked northeast to Route T,
            producing sporadic tree damage and some
            minor property damage. The damage track
            continued east-northeast along County Road
            13004, with more sporadic tree damage. One
            of the larger trees fell onto a residence,
            damaging the property as well as power
            lines. Intermittent tree damage continued
            northeast to Route BB and County Road 13003,
            with more significant tree damage eastward
            along Sunset Drive just west of the Henry
            County line. Damage became more intermittent
            eastward into Henry County, with no damage
            observed a half mile past the county line.
            However, much of this area north of 400 Road
            in Henry County is inaccessible, so it is
            possible the tornado continued a short
            distance longer to the north or northeast of
            the end of the preliminary track.
