Trees and large limbs were downed

at both locations. The location south of Argyle was the last portion of the track able to be surveyed as the track then went into inaccessible portions of Holmes County south of HWY 90. Radar was used to extend the track a few more miles into Holmes

county. The tornado lifted before reaching Ponce De Leon or Highway 81.
