| Episode Narrative | Numerous showers and thunderstorms, many of which were strong to severe and included a few supercells, moved across Middle Tennessee during the afternoon and evening hours on Monday, March 27. Several reports of large hail up to 3 inches in diameter and wind damage to trees and buildings were received across the area, and one EF1 tornado was confirmed to touch down in Perry and Lewis Counties. |
| Event Narrative | This EF-1 tornado touched down in a forested area in extreme eastern Perry County north of Stanley Hinson Road then moved northeast, blowing down numerous trees before crossing Highway 412 into Lewis County. The tornado strengthened as it continued northeast, snapping and uprooting hundreds of hardwood and softwood trees and causing some minor roof and outbuilding damage on McCord Hollow Road. Continuing northeast across Goodman Branch Road, the tornado blew down more trees and passed within a mile of the tornado that occurred almost exactly one year prior on March 31, 2016. The tornado weakened as it turned more eastward, but continued to blow down dozens of trees as it crossed Darbytown Road and Coble Road. A barn was damaged on Keeton Drive and many more trees were blown down on both sides of Highway 48. Scattered trees continued to be blown down further to the east across rural forested areas before the tornado finally lifted just west of Indian Creek Road. The total path length across Perry and Lewis Counties was 9.75 miles. The damage summary, beginning and ending times, path length, and path width of this tornado were updated in July 2019 based on newly available high resolution satellite imagery in Google Earth. |
