What the National Weather Service wrote
The National Weather Service surveyed in southwestern Lee County and found the damage was consistent with an EF0 tornado. The tornado initially touched down along County Road 30 where several trees were uprooted and a single family residence sustained minor damage. The tornado continued east-northeast crossing County Road 29 where additional trees were uprooted and a home had roof damage. It was also noted that a car window was blown out. The tornado then crossed County Road 11 just before lifting north of County Road 39. Additional soft and hard wood trees were damaged and uprooted along these two roads. It should be noted that this damage was adjacent to the EF4 tornado that impacted Lee County in 2019.
