Along Steel Tram Ridge Lane, the tornado completely ripped a porch off the front of a house and caused a camper to roll on its side.

| 00:53Z | EF2 | KOHX | TN | Fentress | Highland Jct | This tornado touched down northwest of Clarkrange along Baldwin Gulf Road in Fentress County where it caused roofing damage to a residence.

The tornado continued its east-southeast track towards the Fentress and Morgan County border, and once it crossed Ernest Hall Road, it destroyed a chicken barn. The tornado then crossed into Morgan County at Brodio Road. Damage found in Fentress County was rated EF-1 tornado damage with maximum estimated winds of 95 mph, but the tornado strengthened to EF-2 after crossing into Morgan County. Damages are a rough estimate. |
| 01:04Z | EF2 | KMRX | TN | Morgan | Adkins Mill | This tornado first formed in Fentress County before tracking into heavily forested and rugged areas of Morgan County. Aerial imagery from Tennessee Highway Patrol indicated the tornado produced tree damage as it moved through the forests of Morgan County. The tornado continued to moved southeast where it produced EF-2 damage by destroying two manufactured homes, and damaged multiple barns and outbuildings near the intersection of Twin Bridge Rd and Thurman Lavender Rd. At this location is where the two fatalities and two injuries occurred, both fatalities were inside a manufactured house that was completely destroyed by the tornado. At a separate family residence, a dozen chickens were reported killed along with their coop, a tool shed, and a barn destroyed. Thousands of trees were felled within the debris path, with shredded housing strewn amongst the trees. As the tornado continued southeast, it snapped the top of trees consistent with EF-1 damage near the convergence of Highway 62 and Deer Lodge Highway. At this location at least 35 acres of trees were blown down in a fairly straight and non-convergent pattern facing north relative to the damage swath. Minor roof damage was also noted at this intersection, with small outbuildings destroyed. The tornado continued southeast into forested areas before dissipating prior to Highway 27. |
| 02:26Z | EF1 | KMRX | TN | Grainger | Thorn Hill | The tornado began near McAnally Rd and Campground Rd before moving east along Highway 131. Tree damage began sporadically at first, with a few cedar trees split or blown over, tree damage then began to intensify towards the heart of the damage path. There were several barns and outbuildings with roof damage along 131, and numerous snapped trees. A small chicken coop was lofted up and over the pen around the coop, and left upside down in a ditch but with no scratches or visible damage to the coop. The most significant damage was to a large barn on Highway 131 that was completely destroyed. The tornado continued to Clinch River Hardwoods and Thorn Hill Church. At that location a large tanker trailer was overturned, and the church had some light damage to siding and windows. The tornado lifted where trees were snapped on the side of Clinch Mountain near US Highway 25E. |
