4 W Chunchula - 4 ESE Boothetown A brief EF-1 tornado began on Brighton Ct removing a home's roof. It appears the roof was removed due to a garage door failure leading to almost complete removal. An exterior wall in the garage was bowed out; however, a lower wind speed was assigned due to the failure mode being the garage door and absolute lack of any other damage surrounding the house. The tornado then crossed northwest across Brighton Dr and dissipated near Brandy Ct while snapping some large hardwood branches and a fence blown inward resulting in a convergent path. Start: 30.9186/-88.2743 End: 30.9200/-88.2770
