The first damage occurred along Subtle Road, where a carport was overturned and a large part of a metal outbuilding’s roof torn off, in addition to snapping numerous trees. The tornado then moved east-northeast at tree-top level over wooded areas and farm fields, doing its next major damage a mile away, where it pushed a double-wide mobile home to the northwest off its blocks, breaking windows, and ripping off shingles from the roof. The tornado continued on for another mile, causing occasional tree damage, and dropping debris before lifting near the east end of Groce Road, where it peeled roofing material from a metal out building. The NWS thanks Metcalfe County Emergency Management for their assistance in this survey.
