| 16:50Z | EF1 | KDVN | IL | Knox | Hermon | A tornado touched down 3.5 miles east-southeast of Abingdon at 11:50 PM CDT. The tornado tracked southeastward, flattening crops and knocking down numerous trees along its path. Significant damage occurred to several farm outbuildings along County Road 850 East north of County Highway 39, with debris being strewn southeastward for over a half mile. The tornado lifted about 0.5 miles west of Rapatee just north of the Fulton County line at 12:05 AM CDT. |
| 19:50Z | EF2 | KIWX | IN | Jay | Westchester | A tornado developed approximately 3 miles southeast of Bryant Indiana around 350 PM EDT and rapidly strengthened to EF-2 category as the tornado tracked east-southeast, damaging or destroying several rural homes and farmsteads and felled a 100 foot communications tower. The tornado then weakened briefly as the parent storm turned hard right and reintensified into a multi-vortex, 500 yard wide EF-2 tornado as it tracked south-southeast, hitting several more farmsteads with damaged homes and destroyed farm buildings and killing several cattle. The parent storm and tornado both weakened thereafter with the tornado finally lifting/dissipating in an open field approximately 8 miles southeast of Bryant Indiana. Estimated peak winds of 130 mph. |
| 20:12Z | EF2 | KIWX | OH | Mercer | Ft Recovery | The first sign of tornadic damage was observed just east of the Indiana/Ohio state line. Trees were snapped along Park Road, indicative of EF0 tornado damage. The tornado then moved southeast and may have briefly lifted, before touching back down and leaving a noticeable swirl in a wheat field between St Joe Road and Wabash Road. The tornado intensified as it moved across Wabash Road, impacting the Fort Recovery Lumber Yard. Multiple roofs were completely lifted off several outbuildings. Additionally, a collapsed cinder block wall was observed at the Fort Recovery Lumber Yard. This was consistent with EF1 damage.||The tornado then continued moving southeast through wooded areas between Wabash Road and Fort Recovery-Minster Road. Hardwood tree damage was noted in the wooded areas. After crossing Fort Recovery-Minster Road, partial removal of an outbuilding roof was noted along with tree damage. More significant damage then became apparent as the tornado continued southeast impacting the Burrville Road/Hart Road area. Multiple homes along Burrville Road sustained substantial roof damage, including total removal of over half the roof of a single family home. The survey team also noted completely destroyed outbuildings, the removal of attached garages, substantial tree damage, and projectiles embedded within an exterior wall.||Several wood power poles along Burrville Road were also completely broken. Debris from Burrville Road was thrown approximately a half mile toward Wourms Road. In addition, the tornado produced damage along Wourms Road, which included more broken wood power poles. The wooded area along Wourms Road also exhibited the most significant tree damage, where numerous hardwood trees were snapped or knocked over. Damage along Burrville Road and Wourms Road was consistent with low end EF2 damage, with maximum winds of around 115 mph.||The tornado seemed to rapidly weaken as it moved southeast to Fox Road and Meiring Road. The only damage seen was minor damage to an outbuilding and partial removal of the top of a silo. No additional damage was observed to the southeast of this area. |
| 00:38Z | EF1 | KILN | OH | Montgomery | Browns Chapel | The tornado initially touched down on the west side of Puddenbag Road, south of Barlow Road and damaged several groves of trees before crossing Puddenbag Road and snapping and uprooting several more groves of trees on the east side of Puddenbag Road. The tornado crossed in front of a farmstead and snapped and uprooted a number of trees in front of the residence. It was at this location where tree damage was estimated to be caused by winds in the 90-95 mph range. The tornado continued southeast to Oxford Road where roofing material was lifted from a home on the north side of the road and a barn on the south side of the road, while also continuing to cause considerable tree damage. The tornado then continued southeast and moved into Butler County about 0.8 miles south southwest of Browns Chapel. The tornado continued to move southeast across far northern Butler County before lifting 1 mile northeast of Astoria at 19:43 EST. |
| 00:41Z | EF0 | KILN | OH | Butler | Astoria | The tornado initially touched down in Preble County, about 1.6 miles northwest of Browns Chapel at 19:38 EST. The tornado moved southeast, crossing into Butler County at 19:41 EST, about 0.8 miles south southwest of Browns Chapel. The tornado then continued southeast across Elk Creek Road toward No Mans Road where some tree damage was found. In this location the damage was found to be considerably more broad and of lesser intensity, suggesting the tornado was lifting as it moved south along Elk Creek Road and No Mans Road. |
| 00:51Z | EF1 | KIND | IN | Ripley | Lookout | The first evidence of tornadic damage was observed along East Prattsburg Road, just east of State Route 129, where several trees were knocked down. Additional damage was noted further southeast along East Prattsburg Road, where several additional trees were downed and a carport was destroyed. Tree damage continued along East Prattsburg Road to where it intersected with Old Mill Road and E County Road 475 N. One residence on East Prattsburg Road also experienced minor damage to the home, with some gutters and shingles removed. In a wooded area to the south of East County Road 475 N, the tree damage was more extensive, with numerous hardwood trees snapped.||The tornado moved into the town of Milan and produced sporadic damage, mainly along Josephine Street, Ellsworth Street, and West Ellis Street, where a few large tree limbs were knocked down and siding was also removed from a one story home. Winds in the town of Milan were estimated to be 80 mph, or EF0 in nature.||The tornado then strengthened as it moved just southeast of downtown Milan. Along Woolery Street and Rose Street, the most significant damage from this tornado was observed. The tree damage was much more extensive, with numerous hardwood trees snapped or completely knocked down. Significant tree damage continued southeast onto a residence on North County Road 750 E, where a garage was also destroyed. Damage in this area was consistent with winds of up to 110 mph, or reaching EF1 intensity.||The tornado then weakened and dissipated, with the only remaining damage to the southeast of this area on East 200 N, where one tree was blown down onto a house. |
| 01:01Z | EF1 | KILN | IN | Dearborn | Chesterville | The tornado likely began in a wooded area behind Longbranch Road, where downed trees were first noted. The most significant damage occurred at two residences on Longbranch Road. Nearly half of the metal roof of one residence was lifted and thrown in multiple directions, with insulation splattered on the residence and even onto parked vehicles. Trees on both properties were knocked down or blown over in multiple directions and the tree damage exhibited a very convergent pattern. The tornado is believed to have lifted in another wooded area to the southeast of Longbranch Road, as no other damage was seen on any roads to the southeast. |
| 01:09Z | EF1 | KILN | KY | Boone | Idlewild | The tornado first touched down near a home on Stevens Road in northern Boone County, northwest of Idlewild, causing minor roof damage to the home and damaging trees on the property. About a mile downstream, the tornado struck a barn, removing the roof and collapsing the walls. Numerous trees were also uprooted in the vicinity of the barn. Roofing material was lifted and deposited a considerable distance downstream, with roofing material lying along I-275 almost a half of a mile downstream of the barn. The tornado continued east along I-275 causing sporadic but minor tree damage. Another barn was damaged with partial roof removal on the south side of I-275. Some of this material was carried across I-275 and deposited about a half mile downstream on a nearby golf course. The tornado appears to have lifted in the vicinity of I-275, about a mile west of Exit 8.||There were some gaps in the damage path, indicating the tornado was not in complete and constant contact with the ground. The vast majority of the tree damage indicated wind speeds between 60 and 75 mph, though indications of wind speeds around 90 mph were present with the heavily damaged barn on the south side of I-275. |
| 05:37Z | EF0 | KLIX | MS | Harrison | Pass Christian | Several buildings in Camille Village Apartments sustained minor damage to the siding and front awnings. Two buildings had their AC units blown over. One of the AC units was not found. An awning attached to the front of one of these building was completely destroyed. The roofing and awning material was lofted and found about 1,000 yards to the northwest past a fence and area of trees. |
| 07:31Z | EF0 | KLIX | MS | Harrison | Long Beach | A tornado touched down near Twin Lakes Boulevard where large tree limbs were snapped, a fence was blown over and siding torn off a house. Damage to numerous houses was observed along Periwinkle Lane, including roof (shingles peeled and a chimney toppled over) damage, downed fences, a bent garage door, and car windows that were blown out. ||The tornado continued to produce sporadic damage as it tracked north. The most concentrated damage occurred along Yuca Drive. On one property, a pergola was destroyed, a large oak tree was uprooted, back yard doors were blown in, siding ripped off, and a |camper was overturned. The tornado lifted just north of Mossy Oak Drive. |
| 08:16Z | EF0 | KMOB | AL | Mobile | Heron Bay | An EF-0 tornado, with maximum estimated winds of 85 mph, moved across Cedar Point Pier. The pier suffered damage to some railings and light poles. A large metal storage unit was lifted and moved ten feet, heavily damaging the structure. A utility pole was also knocked over. A 2x4 board was launched through the window of a pickup truck. The occupant of the truck suffered minor injuries. The end point is an estimation as the tornado could have continued to the north. However, given this area is marsh, the survey team was not able to find a definitive end point. |
| 10:08Z | EF0 | KMOB | MS | Jackson | Pascagoula | The EF0, 70 MPH tornado touched down near Dellwood Drive and Westwood Drive, where a 12 tree top was broken off the main trunk. The tornado moved northeast to Northwood Ave where it knocked an entire section of a wooden privacy fence down and broke a few 8-10 branches and damaged the roof of a detached garage. Continuing NNEward, there were small branches down along Woodhaven Ave and the final area of damage was a 16-18 tree top broken/twisted in the 1800th block of 22nd St, and a few additional smaller treetops behind these houses. Lastly, a large tree (base 28 inches x 22 inches) on the corner of 22nd St and Ingalls Ave was partially uprooted and was leaning toward the north at about a 20 degree angle. |
| 10:35Z | EF1 | KMOB | MS | Jackson | Arena | The short-lived tornado touched down just east of State Line Road south of State Highway 614. The tornado then crossed State Line Road snapping several softwood pine trees. There were a few|snapped/leaning power poles along State Line Road but may have been caused by trees falling on lines. Minor property damage was reported at the residence on the west side of State Line Road which included a bent front driveway gate and gutter damage the back of the home. The tornado damaged several small trees as it continued across a pond on the property before dissipating|near the adjacent property to the north. |
