The tornado touched down on a residential drive about a quarter mile north of SR 138, where it brought down a couple of large trees. It then continued southeast across a field and crossed SR 138 where it downed a large tree and other branches, snapped 3 pine trees several feet above the ground, peeled back part of a barn roof on both its east and west sides, and damaged some fencing. Isolated trees were snapped further southeast along the tornado's discontinuous path.
At a residence along Holladay Road, a large well-constructed barn had its cap blown from its roof and a small section of the roof's southeast corner was peeled back, exposing the inside. Large pine trees were snapped with large segments carried 50 to 60 yards downstream. A few small branches were blown onto a van and a car tire had a piece of bark completely impaled through it. A 100 foot TV tower was knocked down and the house sustained minor roof and fascia damage. A large well-constructed metal storage barn across the street had its front door ripped off and carried southeast.
Numerous large trees and branches were downed along Ervin Road, just north of a quarry. Further east along Ervin Road, the roof of a house had numerous shingles ripped off and a small section of its southeast corner was peeled back. Fascia on the north side of the garage was completely ripped off and a 100 foot TV tower was toppled along the south side of the house and garage. A small shed southwest of the house was completely destroyed with the damage strewn into the front yard. Another small shed south of the house was twisted off its foundation and moved a short distance. A short distance southeast of this residence was a trailer home that had its west wall and a portion of its south wall blown in, but most of the walls remained intact. An old wooden pole barn just southeast of the trailer home was completely destroyed.
A church along US 62 sustained very minor roof and fascia damage. The church sign was blown through a school bus window and the bus itself was pushed sideways several feet. Two very large picnic tables (each weighing over 500 pounds) were pushed a short distance into a van, causing minor damage to the van. Another heavy table that was located in front of the van was picked up and smashed into a wooden pavilion support post, snapping the post. Just southeast of the church, a residence along Green Road had several large trees knocked down. A large, unanchored shed with a lawn tractor inside was carried off its foundation and blown 200 feet eastward. Just to the east, a boat on a trailer was nudged a few feet southeast from where it was parked. Several large trees were knocked down a short distance further to the east, and this was where the tornado ended.

The tornado touched down along U.S. Route 36, approximately two tenths of a mile northeast of the intersection with Yocom Road. Damage was primarily confined to the properties of two adjacent residences on the south side of U.S. Route 36. The most substantial damage occurred to a double wide manufactured home that lost half of its roof from the northwest side of the structure. The shingles and rafters were lifted over the home...and deposited immediately to the south. A 20 foot tall apple tree located 60 feet southwest of the home was uprooted and fell to the southeast. Numerous smaller limbs, mostly less than 3 inches in diameter, were broken from a willow tree located approximately 100 feet southeast of the home. These limbs were strewn to the east for approximately 175 feet into a neighboring yard.
