Survey Summary:
The tornado started just southeast of US67/62 southwest of
Biggers, destroying a metal farm building and snapping trees
along Lutrell Cemetery Road. The tornado continued northwest
blowing in some garage doors on some large metal buildings, along
with snapping limbs off of multiple trees along Gas Plant and
Biggers-Reyno roads. The tornado continued northwest for several
miles, causing mainly damage to trees, from broken limbs, to
uprooting or snapping those tree trunks. The worst damage was
observed at a site built home off of State Hwy 328 and Jerrett
Loop Road southwest of Maynard, where large sections of the roof
were torn off allowing a couple walls to fall inward. At the same
residence, a large metal outbuilding or barn was destroyed. Many
mature trees were snapped or uprooted around this location. The
tornado finally lifted further northwest along State Hwy 251
south of Palestine Road.
