Survey Summary: 
This tornado began a half mile south of the Kentucky/Tennessee
state line between Hugh Gill Road and Keysburg Road and produced
EF-1 damage in Tennessee with numerous trees snapped and uprooted.
The tornado moved northeast destroying the roof of a barn on Hugh
Gill Road before hitting a home on McGhee Road causing significant
roof and chimney damage. The tornado then moved into Kentucky
where it caused preliminary EF-2 damage. Please refer to NWS
Louisville for updated information on the Kentucky portion of the
tornado path. Note that since this is one continuous tornado path
that crossed state lines, the higher rated damage will determine 
the overall rating of the tornado, which is preliminary EF-2.

following categories:
