This tornado touched down on the Renous side of the Miramichi River. It crossed the river and destroyed a barn located in White Rapids(Route 118). People from the area said they thought it was raining when the tornado hit but come to find out later it was actually river water that was being thrown about 300ft in the air as it crossed the the river from Renous to White Rapids.
