The tornado touched down near Fireside Drive in Disputanta causing 
some downed trees and a car port to be blown over, consistent with 
EF0 damage. The tornado continued moving north northeast across Webb 
Road and then Lebanon Road, Cedar Lane and Pole Run Road. Many trees 
were snapped or uprooted and numerous sheds and outbuildings 
received significant damage or were destroyed between Lebanon Road 
and Pole Run Road. This area was where the EF-1 damage occurred. The 
tornado lifted north of Pole Run Road before Route 10. 

There was additional tree damage along Hines Road just north of 
Newville. It is possible there was a brief spin up tornado 
associated with this damage, although the exact cause cannot be 
determined due to the limited nature of damage.
