15:45DE QUINCYCALCASIEUA tree was blown down onto Rigmaiden Cemetery Road.
16:05LAPINEOUACHITAAn intense bowing squall line of thunderstorms raced eastward at around 60 mph across the southern portion of Ouachita Parish Louisiana, producing widespread damaging wind gusts of 60 to 90+ mph with isolated peak gusts estimated to be up to 95 mph. An NWS survey team surveyed a majority of this huge wind damage swath with an estimated peak swath width of up to 10 miles. The survey team encountered nearly countless amounts of downed trees within this wind damage swath, but the team estimates the number of downed trees was easily at least 1000. Within this wind damage swath, many trees were downed onto structures, causing damage to scores|of outbuildings and residences. This assessment judges that the wind damage swath gradually widened to its estimated peak width as it approached the Ouachita River and|Highway 165 south of Richwood. ||It is important to note that the survey team found that an overwhelming majority of the downed trees were laid over to the east or northeast with a general lack of convergence in damage patterns. Those findings, in concert with the idealized radar representation of a bowing arc of thunderstorms capable of widespread straight line wind damage, led the survey team to estimate the damage was indeed caused by widespread straight |line wind damage and not tornadic. It is also important to note that the soils across the area were quite saturated from the recent high amounts of rainfall and thus would allow trees to uproot more easily than would otherwise be the case, thus one reason for the extremely high amounts of downed trees. Of course, some areas in the wind damage swath had more concentrated damage than others, which is relatively normal with this sort of weather phenomenon. One such area was along Howard Brown Road just north |of Highway 34 where an adult female was injured due to being in an outside shed that was demolished by a large uprooted tree.

15:58FISHS EDDYDELAWAREA thunderstorm moved through parts of the Town of Hancock. This storm produced a weak microburst, which resulted in uprooted trees and some snapped smaller trees along its path. Some of the uprooted trees may have also been aided by saturated soil conditions. The first visible tree damage was located in a wooded area, before the thunderstorm continued to move northward and crossed Bodoit Road, resulting in more uprooted trees along the road and at some residents' yards along the road. The storm then crossed the East Branch Delaware River and uprooted several more trees on |a small island in the middle of the river. More tree damage and damage to a power pole bracket was observed along Old Route 17 and along NY State Highway 17, before the storm tracked over hills north of NY State Highway 17. The last observed tree damage was located along Tar Hollow Road. Additional tree damage was observed via drone images.
