Event narrative (NOAA)
Storm damage to the east of Moody was found to be consistent with straight-line winds, with peak wind gusts estimated between 80 and 100 mph. A broad swath of enhanced damage was found in a largely wooded area a couple miles northeast of the Brompton community. In this area, numerous trees were snapped off and uprooted. One tree fell onto a mobile home, fatally injuring one of its occupants. Several other buildings received varying degrees of damage, both directly from the wind and as a result of trees being blown on top of them.
