A brief weak EF0 tornado touched down in vicinity of the Brinkleyville Hunt Club, a couple hundred yards west of highway 48, then traveled in a northeasterly direction, crossing highway 48 near December Lane. The tornado traveled through an open field then entered a wooded area where it lifted. A building at the Brinkleyville Hunt Club received minor roof damage when part of a tin roof was peeled off and a grain bin received visible damage. After departing the hunt club property, the tornado traveled through an open field, then approached the intersection of highway 48 and December Lane. Near this site, one residence sustained minor roof damage, while the residence near the highway suffered major damage to its roof as well as partial damage to a couple of its exterior walls. The roofing and wall material from this structure was carried across the highway and into the field immediately east of the highway. Several trees in the vicinity of December Lane, the Brinkleyville Hunt Club, and in the woods east of highway 48 received significant damage. This narrative will likely be updated on Tuesday with additional details. The NWS Raleigh would like to thank the Halifax County Emergency Management Office for their assistance in the storm survey.
