Thunderstorm Wind. Tennessee Valley Weather and Facebook reports, along with radar and satellite data, indicate a swath of wind damage occurred between Collinwood and Waynesboro. Numerous trees and power lines were blown down with power outages along Waterfall Creek Road, Chalk Creek Road, Sunny Acres Drive, and Johnson Hollow Road. A lumber yard on Chalk Creek Road also suffered minor damage. In addition, NASA satellite imagery indicates a 200 yard wide swath of trees was blown down in rural forests from Waterfall Creek Road to Chalk Creek Road, suggesting this may have been a weak QLCS tornado. However, the damage along with satellite and radar data are too inconclusive at this time.

Tornado. A strong EF-2 tornado touched down just northeast of the city of Waynesboro between Highway 64 and Highway 99. The tornado increased in intensity rapidly as it tracked through neighborhoods along Highway 99. A few trees and outbuildings were blown down and destroyed at the beginning of the track before the tornado moved across Steele Street, Hassell Drive, High Street, and Natural Bridge Road, taking the roofs off several homes and causing one minor injury. Five high power TVA electrical steel poles were bent to the ground in this area, knocking out power to all of Wayne County. Continuing northeastward, the tornado destroyed a barn on York Road and damaged several homes on Fortyeight Creek Road. The tornado then moved through rural, forested and hilly terrain with few roads for a total of 22.2 miles across northeast Wayne, extreme southern Lewis, and extreme northwestern Lawrence Counties, blowing down hundreds of trees before finally lifting around 4 miles northwest of Summertown.
