Event narrative

The tornado touched down just east of Old Ditch Rd

causing numerous snapped softwood pines. As the tornado progressed

northeast, width increased to approximately 200 yards with a clear

convergent pattern of snapped softwoods. As the tornado approached

Piave Church Rd, it appears to have weakened causing several uprooted

hardwoods and a few snapped to uprooted softwoods. A few homes had

minor roof damage likely by the outer circulation and RFD. The tornado

shortly lifted after crossing Piave Church Rd but not before uprooting

a couple more hardwoods and removing a tin roof from a mobile home porch.
