Along Rock Church Road the tornado reached a width of at least a quarter of a mile, blowing over trees along the road and damaging multiple manufactured homes. As the tornado continued along Stalling Lane large areas of pine trees were snapped and a mid-sized barn was flattened. The tornado continued to increase in strength, causing EF-2 damage about 1.5 miles north of Junction City where hundreds of trees were snapped at their bases and very few trees, if any, were left standing.
