Poarch Creek Reservation A brief EF1 tornado impacted the Poarch Creek Indian Reservation. This tornado began in the adjacent field to the Poarch Creek Indians Gym, first taking the scoreboard and tossing the heavy half 200 yards downstream and the lighter half being tossed into the adjacent field`s scoreboard approximately 500 yards away. The tornado then impacted the gym lifting up a significant portion of the roofing material on the west-facing side. On the east side of the gym, a short power pole was snapped along with most of the roofing material being deposited into the netting adjacent to the next field in its path adjacent to the parking lot. The tornado continued to the east-southeast, reaching its strongest point prior to crossing Lynn McGhee Drive where it snapped numerous small hardwood trees and pushed over several road signs. This is also where the tornado reached its peak width at approximately 80 yards. After crossing Lynn McGhee Drive and Green Road, a softwood tree was snapped mid trunk with a large amount of small tree debris and limbs scattered across the adjacent field. The tornado continued weakening as it moved southeast and then east across Creek Drive, causing minor roofing and siding damage to buildings. The last visible damage point was along Jack Springs Road where a large oak tree was uprooted facing east-southeast.
