This tornado developed in north central Greene County, along county road 2700N, 1/2 mile west of highway 106 (or about 1.5 miles west-northwest of Barow).  It developed around 7:20 pm and moved northeast into southern Scott County.  The tornado crossed the Alsey-Manchester Road, about 3/4 mile northwest of Manchester, around 7:33 pm., and continued northeast, crossing the Scott/Morgan County line 2.75 miles west-southwest of Murrayville around 7:35 pm.  It finally lifted about 1.25 miles west of Murrayville at 7:40 pm.

The intensity of this tornado was determined to be F1, with a width of 75 yards and a path of 9.75 miles.
