Counties:  Madison
F-scale:  F1
Deaths:  0
Injuries:  2
Path width:  800 yards

Time:  3:45am
Grazulis Narrative:  Moved northeast near Eastern State College in Richmond.  Homes were unroofed in the student housing area.  Hundreds of trees were uprooted.
Noted discrepancies:   Grazulis lists this tornado as having occurred at 3:00am...Storm Data lists it at 3:45am...SPC lists it at 3:45pm.  Storm Data also mentions it lifted at 4:00am.  Would tend to believe Storm Data here.  Storm Data says most damage was in and around Eastern State College in Richmond.  Grazulis lists this tornado as an F2.
