2 S Town Creek - 9 ESE Rogersville Damage was first observed along CR 101 north of CR 143. Large-limb tree damage was the primary damage indicator observed in this area, with estimated winds of 107 mph close to touchdown. As observed on radar, the circulation of the tornado tightened east of CR 101 and intensified significantly as it approached CR 265. CR 265, approximately 1 mile south of Highway 20, observed major damage to three structures. Structure damage indicators were a combination of single wide and double wide manufactured homes. It should be noted that one of the structures listed as a double wide was a prefabricated home with no anchor system. The traditional double wide manufactured home included an auger anchor system while the single wide home had a pan anchor system. Regardless of the anchor, each system failed due to intense lifting force, which led to the structure to roll off its plot, causing total destruction. Two fatalities and an injury were reported at the double wide home, with additional injuries at the other destroyed structures. Start: 34.6445/-87.4126 End: 34.7739/-87.1283
