Event Narrative

A small tornado began on the south side of US 278 a little more than 3.5 miles west-northwest of Double Springs and moved on a north-northeast track for about a mile and a half. The tornado began in an open field and immediately damaged two buildings and a mobile home at the Mount Carmel Church. The tornado crossed US 278 downing trees and damaging a home on the north side of the highway. The tornado continued across CR 55 damaging two more homes. A large satellite dish was turned inside-out like an umbrella. The tornado continued through a wooded section before ending just after crossing CR 32.
