3 E - 3.1 E Folsom NWS meteorologists confirmed a short-lived EF-1 tornado path along County Road 29, northwest of Marion in Perry County. The tornado vortex quickly developed and dissipated along one of the only residential areas along this stretch of road. A manufactured home was shifted off its block foundation with a large section of roofing material removed from the back side of the home. Two homeowners were present during the time of impact and were tossed onto the floor while having a meal. Thankfully, they were uninjured. Metal panels were lofted into trees either side of the highway. Some trees were also uprooted and snapped in the area. It is possible some additional light timber damage may have continued beyond the end of the estimated path, but the area is inaccessible and radar shows the area of rotation quickly weakening. Start: 32.6835/-87.3491 End: 32.6848/-87.3469
