Storm Survey: An EF-1 tornado touched down just inside the Coffee County line west of Tullahoma. This tornado tracked through the northside of Tullahoma crossing over State Route 16/Jackson Street damaging several businesses with mostly roof damage observed. The tornado then moved across the Lakewood Golf and Country Club and Lake Tullahoma Estates neighborhoods where several hundred trees were uprooted and snapped. Almost all of the structural damage in these neighborhoods were due to downed trees. One person sustained a minor injury when a tree fell on their car. Once the tornado crossed the lake, it lifted just before Cherry Springs Road.

Storm Survey: A new circulation formed east southeast of the the Tullahoma tornado and touched down just southeast of Manchester. Although not on the ground for long, several dozen trees were snapped and uprooted and several barns and outbuildings were heavily damaged along the path. A one story log cabin style house was picked up off of the foundation and moved 6-8 feet off of center with most of the house still fully intact. Unfortunately, this house was not properly attached to the foundation hence the EF-1 rating.
