EF1 tornado in Overton County, Tennessee

This is a continuation of the tornado that began in Putnam County. This EF-1 tornado then uprooted and snapped trees along Duncans Chapel Road as well as caused minor roof damage and downed trees on Ben Mason Road. Further east along Tommy Dodson Highway, several trees were uprooted and two barns had roof damage, and a barn was destroyed. On Highway 111, there was damage to a gas station and retail

building and more trees damaged near Rickman. Minor roof damage to a barn and some branches found along Okalona Road east of Rickman before the tornado dissipated. This tornado was responsible for one injury in Overton County. Damages are a rough estimate.

Warm air and moisture advection into Middle Tennessee on February 6, 2025, helped to set the stage for thunderstorms to develop across the area during the afternoon and evening hours. These thunderstorms tended to track eastward along a boundary that had set up near the Tennessee and Kentucky border. One particular thunderstorm intensified rapidly as it tracked eastward towards the Cumberland Plateau. The thunderstorm interacting with the boundary combined with the terrain of the Cumberland Plateau likely allowed it to begin rotating and become tornadic. This one thunderstorm cycled several times and produced four tornadoes across Middle Tennessee.
