Wind:
A widespread area of enhanced wind damage occurred in a 10 to 15 mile wide corridor, from northeast McLean County into southern Ford County. The strongest wind gusts were around 100 mph between Lexington and the Livingston County border, with 75-90 mph winds in the Colfax and Anchor areas. Over 30 high-tension electrical transmission towers were severely damaged by the wind. The downburst became more focused as it moved into Ford County.

This sequence of radar images is focused over northeast McLean County, with reflectivity on the left half of the image, and storm relative velocity on the right half. Green velocity colors represent motion toward the radar (which is off to the lower left), and red colors show motion away from the radar.
At 8:25 pm, an east-west line of heavier showers had formed, and was feeding into the storms coming in from the west. It is believed this helped enhanced the incoming storms, and caused them to bring stronger winds to the surface. Some circulations began to appear, along with enhanced wind speeds. As the storms approached, no significant rotation was noted, and it is felt the damage in this area was caused by straight-line winds. However, by the time the storms passed Anchor (8:47 pm image), a tornadiccirculation had developed, and persisted into Ford County.
