Episode Narrative A large upper level trough of low pressure combined with a northward moving warm front to spawn numerous supercells and tornadoes across the southeastern US from the afternoon hours on November 29, 2016 through the night and into the next day on November 30. Numerous tornado touched down in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Middle and Eastern Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina, resulting in 5 deaths and dozens of injuries. Across Middle Tennessee, two tornadoes touched down in Coffee County in Tullahoma and near Manchester, damaging many homes and causing one minor injury.
Event Narrative An EF-1 tornado touched down just inside the Coffee County line west of Tullahoma. This tornado tracked through the northside of Tullahoma crossing over State Route 16/Jackson Street damaging several businesses with mostly roof damage observed. The tornado then moved across the Lakewood Golf and Country Club and Lake Tullahoma Estates neighborhoods where several hundred trees were uprooted and snapped. Almost all of the structural damage in these neighborhoods were due to downed trees. One person sustained a minor injury when a tree fell on their car. Once the tornado crossed the lake, it lifted just before Cherry Springs Road.
