| Episode Narrative | Thunderstorms developed during the evening hours along a warm front lifting slowly north across the region. Many of the thunderstorms produced tornadoes, including a few strong to violent tornadoes. |
| Event Narrative | The tornado appears to have touched down very close to Kettlersville Road, just south of the intersection with County Road 33A. Extensive damage occurred here to a barn, grain silo, trees, and a 19th century residence. The north end of the barn was destroyed and the grain silo was lifted and rolled approximately 150 yards to the northeast. A swirl pattern was evident as well in vegetation along the shore of a pond near where the grain silo fragment came to rest. The back room and associated roof of the 19th century residence was pulled from the main structure, along with the plumbing fixtures and a portion of the concrete sub-floor. The structure and contents of the room and barn were scattered to the northeast along a path approximately 50 yards wide. Several pine trees with trunks approximately 8-10 inches wide were also snapped near the residence. This damage and its dispersal pattern was consistent with 100 to 110 mph winds of an EF1 tornado. The tornado next crossed County Road 33A between Kettlersville Road and Kohler Lane, damaging power poles along County Road 33A. Two barns and another outbuilding on a property just north of the road were also destroyed. Only small segments of the barns were still standing, suggesting 100 to 110 mph (EF1) winds along this portion of the track. The debris from these structures was scattered over a large area of the adjoining field to the north, northeast and east near the intersection of County Road 33A and Woodland Drive. The tornado likely didn't track directly over this entire area, but instead debris was probably lofted and thrown free of the circulation in many directions, before falling back to the ground nearby. An absence of damage for approximately 150 yards to the east of the field suggests the tornado briefly lifted, then descended again to strike two more barns and the north side of a house. Both barns lost their roofs and at least half of their exterior walls. Some roof damage also occurred to the house. Debris from these structures was lofted and then dropped to the east in an adjacent field and on both sides of US Route 33. As the tornado continued east-northeast, it left visible striations in field vegetation and destroyed an outbuilding just west of the County Road 33A overpass across US Route 33. A large portion of the outbuilding was lifted and carried approximately 150 yards to the area just west of the overpass and dropped on the road, where a semi truck crashed into it. The semi driver was injured in the crash. The degree and pattern of damage both here and at the adjacent property to the west are indicative of 100 to 110 mph winds of an EF1 tornado. No further damage was noted on the north side of US Route 33 or east of the overpass, so dissipation of the tornado likely occurred at this point. |
