A NWS storm survey confirmed an EF1 tornado touched down in far
southern Smith County southwest of the town of Hickman just north
of Potter Road. The tornado completely destroyed a 1930s era home
being used as a storage building to the west of Kyle Hollow Lane,
with contents blown up to 150 yards away. Numerous trees were
also snapped and uprooted around the building and a nearby mobile
home sustained minor exterior damage. Two homes on Jenkins Hill
Road suffered minor damage and a barn was completely destroyed.
Another barn was damaged on Temperance Hall Highway and more
trees were snapped and uprooted on Nabors Hollow Lane before the
tornado lifted southeast of Hickman.

Special thanks to Smith County Emergency Management and
@SmithCountyWx for their assistance with this storm survey.
