0420 PM     Tornado          Springfield             36.50N 86.88W
12/09/2023                   Robertson          TN   NWS Storm Survey

            This EF-2 tornado touched down near Fairway
            Trail and Kemper Court in Springfield. As it
            was snapping and uprooting hardwood trees in
            the area, the tornado encountered a home and
            collapsed its garage door. The tornado
            continued northeastward and as it approached
            Hwy 41 near the Kroger shopping center,
            began to increase in strength. Here, it
            encountered an oil change business,
            completely removing the roof. Additional
            businesses were significantly damaged with
            wind speeds around 110 mph (EF-1). The
            tornado then crossed the railroad tracks
            behind Kroger and entered into an industrial
            area where multiple metal siding structures
            sustained significant damage. With the
            majority of these metal building systems
            having Grade 5 bolts holding down the
            columns, it was estimated winds in this area
            topped out at 120 mph. The tornado then
            struck a fire department and strip mall
            before slightly weakening, but managed to
            bend a steel transmission pole (EF-2/110
            mph) on the east side of the industrial
            park. Just to the northeast of this area,
            the tornado weakened further, but still
            uprooted trees and caused minor roof damage
            to homes on Greystone Dr and Sloan Lane. By
            the time the tornado reached Roy Pitt Road,
            winds had backed off to 90 mph (EF-1) and
            rolled a trailer on its side. The tornado
            finally lifted near the intersection of
            Oakland Road and Hwy 76E.
