Survey Summary:
The small short-lived EF-1 tornado developed just south of Tank Road,
quickly moving northeast. The tornado snapped a few trees and a power
pole on the south side of the road. It also destroyed a shed and
ripped some shingles off of a nearby home. As the tornado moved
across the street, it ripped the porch covering and part of the roof
off of a home. Several large limbs were snapped. A second home on
the north side of the street lost a large section of roofing off
of a shed and a carport awning. Winds peaked around 95 mph. The
storm was about 50 yards at the widest and about a tenth of a
