Survey Summary:
A small tornado associated with Tropical Storm Debby's rainbands
started near Ash Little River Road NW, where it caused a
concentrated area of damage at a large property. Several Bradford
Pear trees were uprooted or snapped along the property's
driveway. Large limbs were also snapped in a stand of trees
northwest of the driveway and minor damage to fencing and the
removal of one panel of flashing near the home's roof was also
found. The tornado likely continued northwestward into a dense
forest based on the persistence of a tornado debris signature
detected by a weather radar located approximately 10 miles east
of the tornado.
