A tornado was determined to have occurred in Warren County with max winds of 90 MPH (EF1). Damage was first observed along Pisgah Ridge near White Road south of Richardson Road. A nearby residence had minor shingle damage, but several farm outbuildings had significant roof damage. While most of the damage had a northeast direction with the storm motion, there was evidence of rotation. One barn roof was lofted to the northeast, however there were wood planks that were impaled into the ground in the opposite direction to the southwest. Also, a nearby shed was leaning to the northwest, which was toward the tornado circulation path. The tornado continued uphill toward more farm outbuildings where a roof was lofted to the north and to the east, which was slightly offset from the northeast storm motion and evidence of rotation. Max wind speeds in this location were estimated to be 90 mph. The damage continued to the northeast along James Elkins Road where several trees had snapped damage. The nearby barn had roofing material loss, and the building was shifted and leaning to the northeast after being hit by the tornado. The roof damage was laying in several different directions and the snapped tree damage had evidence of breaking and twisting with the passing of the tornado. The tornado continued across Hall Road and toward Karl Young Road where damage to a home and nearby outbuildings occurred.

A tornado was determined to have occurred in Warren County with max winds of 90 MPH (EF1).||Damage was first observed along Pisgah Ridge near White Road south of Richardson Road. A nearby residence had minor shingle damage, but several farm outbuildings had significant roof damage. While most of the damage had a northeast direction with the storm motion, there was evidence of rotation. One barn roof was lofted to the northeast, however there were wood planks that were impaled into the ground in the opposite direction to the southwest. Also, a nearby shed was leaning to the northwest, which was toward the tornado circulation path. The tornado continued uphill toward more farm outbuildings where a roof was lofted to the north and to the east, which was slightly offset from the northeast storm motion and evidence of rotation. Max wind speeds in this location were estimated to be 90 mph.||The tornado continued to the northeast along Richardsville Road and damage was observed at a residence. A carport awning overhang roof was damaged and lifted to the northeast, however nearby tree damage occurred to the northwest toward the center of the tornado circulation. Winds at this location were between 80 and 90 mph.||The damage continued to the northeast along James Elkins Road where several trees had snapped damage. The nearby barn had roofing material loss, and the building was shifted and leaning to the northeast after being hit by the tornado. The roof damage was laying in several different directions and the snapped tree damage had evidence of breaking and twisting with the passing of the tornado. The tornado continued across Hall Road and toward Karl Young Road where damage to a home and nearby outbuildings occurred. The homeowner mentioned that the tornado had picked up a|zero turn mower and placed it back down on top of the shed roof damage. A nearby barn was destroyed as well. Debris was lofted into a nearby field to the north and northeast of the location. Several wood plank and plywood impalements were noted facing north and west, which was continued evidence of rotation.
