Survey Summary:
A short but intense EF-1 tornado touched down in far northern
Macon County near Green Valley Road and moved eastward across Oak
Knob Road and along Underwood Road before lifting. Hundreds of
trees were snapped and uprooted along the path, a few homes were
damaged by falling trees, and several barns and outbuildings were
damaged. The tornado damage was surrounded by a massive 8 mile
long by 1.5 mile wide downburst which caused more scattered
but severe wind damage over a much wider area.

following categories:

EF0...Weak......65 to 85 mph
