The tornado continued to snap and uproot trees as it paralleled CR-3555 and crossed CR-3551 and CR-3554. The tornado strengthened to EF-2 intensity as it crossed CR-3659 and produced more widespread snapping of trees. As the tornado continued on, its most intense damage was at a two-story industrial facility along US-59. The tornado tore off the roof and damaged walls of the facility, bending and breaking parts of metal frame of its roof structure. ||After crossing US-59 and tossing vehicles, the tornado snapped more trees on the other side of the road. The tornado weakened some with more uprooting and sporadic tree snaps as it crossed FM-2327, CR-3781, CR-3778, FM-3129, and CR-3886.
