A tornado and strong winds battered the island, leading to the evacuation of 40 people from their homes. High tide swells caused road closures, school closures, and canceled flights and ferries.

Medical supplies were assured to remain available, although concerns arose about potential shortages due to the island being effectively cut off. Residents described the storm as a "scene from a disaster movie," with marble-sized hailstones and significant structural damage reported.
