            An EF1 tornado with estimated maximum wind
            speeds of 80 to 90 mph occurred near Bangor.
            The first damage was noted at a Public Works
            Barn. Damage in this area was consistent
            with maximum wind speeds of 70 to 80 mph. A
            small tree was felled and several tiles were
            blown off the roof. Of note, some of the
            tiles from the roof were found approximately
            one quarter mile away near a school. For the
            next approximate mile, discontinuous tree
            damage occurred in a wooded area. The
            highest degree of damage was noted behind a
            residence on Washington Boulevard. At that
            location, several softwood trees were
            uprooted and a few were snapped. Maximum
            wind speed in this area were estimated to be
            80 to 90 mph. This is also the location
            where the estimated maximum width was
            observed, approximately 100 yards. Further
            tree damage was noted where the tornado
            crossed the train tracks near the
            intersection of Mill Street and Murray
            Street. The final damage was noted with some
            tiles blown off a historic commercial
            building at the intersection of Murray
            Street and W Messinger Street.
