Events
This tornado began on Roger Miller Road as it snapped the tops of several hardwood trees. It continued to trek northeast across Big Creek Road where multiple hardwood trees were uprooted and several large limbs were snapped. A one-story residence lost the majority of its shingles on the backside of the residence, whilst it also snapped two wooden power poles. It continued to uproot and snap hardwood trees on JL Taylor Road in addition to peeling off some of metal roof from a metal outdoor shed. The tornado gained strength as it pushed northeast across Ballard Road, pushing a mobile home off of its cinder blocks and moving the Union Chapel Church four-feet from its original position, all the while snapping and uprooting multiple hardwood trees. The worst destruction along the aforementioned road occurred with a larger mobile home where it rolled several feet and was completely demolished. It crossed US Highway 425 uprooting trees and when it moved northeast of US Highway 425 across Hemphill Road, it rolled and destroyed a small mobile home where one injury and one fatality were reported.
