2.1 E Five Points - 0.5 ENE Hickory Flats National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage across Chambers County which impacted the Finley Creek area. It has been determined that the damage was consistent with a tornado. This tornado touched down along CR 267, just north of the end point of the White Plains tornado. The paths did not join at any point as both damage widths were relatively small. Damage at CR 267 included several sheared tree tops and several uprooted trees. The tornado tracked northeast where it crossed CR 270 where additional trees were knocked down and an outbuilding sustained minor roof damage. The tornado traveled northeast and passed just east of Finley, and lifted along CR 278 where minor tree damage was noted. Damage along this path was consistent with an EF-1 rating with winds of 90 mph. Start: 33.0158/-85.2938 End: 33.0836/-85.2633
