Survey Summary:
A weak tornado impacted mostly wooded areas north of 
Fayetteville. The tornado began southwest of Old Farm Road where 
an old shed was destroyed along with some minor barn roof damage. 
The tornado skipped around causing sporadic damage between Old 
Farm Road and Tipton Pike before ending just south of Indiana 
Creek Camp Road. There was clear evidence of trees blown to the 
southwest along the northern portion of Old Farm road, but 
otherwise it was often difficult to differentiate the straight 
line wind and tornadic damage. The tornado also likely skipped 
around and may have been just off the ground for some of the path.
