Summary: A supercell damaged a vehicle service building and
showroom. Three garage doors on the upwind side were blown
inward, which likely allowed the wind into the building. This
allowed the wind to lift and remove part of the roof of the
service area, which caused the collapse of a brick facade wall on
the downwind side. The wind blowing through the building also
blew out a few large glass windows in the showroom. Debris was
blown across the street and damaged several cars in the Choctaw
Village and Choctaw Casino parking lot downwind to the north.The
vehicle service building is located on a significantly elevated
hill compared to the shopping center to the north, which likely
exposed it to more wind. No additional structural damage could be
found around this point. Only one tree on the back lot from the
service building was damaged, with the debris facing downwind. Based
on the above, this damage will be rated as straight-line thunderstorm
winds estimated at 90 mph. However, the rating could change pending
further data analysis.
