EF1 tornado in Robertson County, Tennessee

An EF-1 tornado touched down east of Adams near Johnson Springs Road and moved northeast. Corn from a farm on the east side of Johnson Springs Road was blown over a quarter of a mile to the northeast. One home suffered minor roof damage on Sturgeon Creek Road and dozens of trees were snapped or uprooted along both Sturgeon Creek Road and Barnes Road. Several barns and outbuildings were damaged or destroyed and more trees were blown down along a bend of Buzzard Creek Road before the tornado lifted west of the Fizer Road and Buzzard Creek Road intersection. The path of this tornado was adjusted and extended slightly in June 2020 based on newly available high resolution Google Earth satellite imagery.

An intense storm system brought severe thunderstorms to northwest Middle Tennessee during the late afternoon and evening hours on February 24. One supercell thunderstorm developed along a warm front that moved northward across the area during the afternoon, spawning one tornado along the Kentucky/Tennessee border in Robertson County that then moved northeast into Kentucky. Later in the evening, a Quasi-Linear Convective System (QLCS) moved into the area from the west, spawning three more tornadoes across Montgomery and Robertson Counties which damaged dozens of homes and businesses and caused millions of dollars in damage. The QLCS also caused wind damage in several other counties.
