Narrative:

The tornado began as an EF-0 with 80 mph winds as it snapped and
uprooted multiple trees and caused minor siding damage.

It then traveled eastward causing damage to multiple structures.
There was minor damage to the roofs of two houses and significant
damage to the roof of another house. EF-1 damage occurred here. Two
outbuildings were also destroyed.

The tornado lifted after a small outbuilding was destroyed and the
roof of a residence was damaged. The tornado lifted just east of
Graves Road.

The NWS is deeply grateful to private pilot Joe Evanson (704WH) and 
photographer Courtney Clements who took detailed aerial photos. 
Their aerial survey confirmed the damage path that had been ground 
surveyed, and no additional damage was found.
