22:24Z EF1 KHPX TN Benton Gismonda A tornado touched down several miles south of Camden in Benton County. The tornado track was intermittent, with two primary areas of damage. The first area was south of the Old Natchez Trace Trail, from Douglas Drive to Douglas Lane. Numerous trees were uprooted, with the tree fall pattern suggesting a circulation. The second area of damage was between Highway 641 and Old Highway 69. The tornado damaged the roof of a barn. Nearby, the tornado blew in the large door of a metal workshop and removed most of the workshop's door. Portions of the roof landed across old Highway 69. The estimated peak wind was 90 mph.
