A weak EF0 tornado touched down in far northern Humphreys County
4.6 miles northwest of McEwen, then moved northeast before lifting
just south of the Houston County line. Damage began on Dry Hollow
Road near Mt Zion Road where a shed was overturned and several
trees were snapped and uprooted in a convergent pattern, with a
few trees falling onto a home. More trees were blown down on HWY
231 and Peach Creek Road. A home lost several shingles, the door
was blown off an outbuilding, and more trees were snapped on Tom
Brown Road before the tornado lifted east of Smith Branch Road.

This is the first tornado on record in Humphreys County in the
month of July since official NWS records began in 1950.

Special thanks to Humphreys County Emergency Management and David
Drobny of NashSevereWx for their help with the storm survey.
