Survey Summary:
A rare and unique anticyclonic landspout tornado touched down in southern
Bedford County off a left splitting supercell and an anticyclonic rear flank
downdraft coupled with strong southwesterly surface flow. The damage path
started off of Charlie Russell Road consisting of uprooted and snapped trees
as well as a barn sustaining significant damage from rear flank downdraft
winds.  The path continued northeast uprooting and snapping dozens of
hardwood and softwood trees. Off of Highway 412, several homes sustained
roof damage as well as loss of underpinning off of a couple of mobile homes.
Additional barn damage was observed on Womack Road along with several more
trees uprooted and snapped. Significant tree damage occurred off of Narrows
Lane including a 4ft wide oak tree snapped at the base.  The tornado then
weakened and continued northeast lifting near Tennessee Highway 130.
