Tornado in FRANKLIN, TENNESSEE
From 24-MAR-20 18:16:00 to 24-MAR-20 18:25:00 (CST-6)
Location: GREENHAW
Tornado F-scale: EF1
Reported by: Emergency Manager

An EF-1 tornado with maximum winds of 95 MPH struck east central Franklin County from 2 miles north of Cown to 2 miles north-northwest of Sewanee.  The main damage indicators
were a combination of hard and softwood trees with either branches snapped, trunks snapped, or uprooted.  The area of concentrated damage was first observed near Greenshaw Road near Wagner Creek where a couple of trees were uprooted.  The tornado ascended up the ridge and snapped several trees as it approached the Cedar Mt. Place area. This damage coincided with a distinct and brief tornado debris signature (TDS) on the KHTX radar.  A Franklin County Emergency Management Agency drone was able to capture the path from the valley west of Cedar Mt. Place and eastward toward Cedar Mt. Court.  Sporadic damage reports were noted as the tornado descended the ridge near the Roarks Cove area.
