The tornado touched down in a field about one quarter mile west of
the southern end of Hymans Ferry Road where it damaged the roof of
an outbuilding. The tornado intensified as it tracked to the east
and completely destroyed an open building. In addition, debris
from that building damaged a van and trailer, snapped trees, and
partially tore off the roof of another open building in that same 
area. Additional debris was thrown into a field to the east of the
southern end of Hymans Ferry Road. The tornado snapped several 
trees after tracking east across a field before lifting.

NWS Wakefield would like to extend thanks to Bertie County
Emergency Services for their assistance with the tornado survey.
