| 17:36Z | EF1 | KOHX | TN | Hickman | Duck River | A very brief yet strong EF-1 tornado formed at the apex of the bowing segment that moved through much of western Middle Tennessee midday on Thursday, June 28th. This brief tornado began northwest of Buck Branch Road knocking down several trees and breaking several large limbs. In addition, roof damage occurred to a home on this road with several outbuildings getting destroyed. As the tornado moved southeast, two homes were struck on Mobley Ridge Road. One house was completely destroyed as the foundation shifted 8-10 ft southeast with the majority of the house falling into the basement. Unfortunately, the house was only metal strapped (and not nailed or bolted/screwed) in a few places to the outer wall. One house occupant survived without injury while trying to get in shelter. The home next door sustained roof damage along with a garage and outbuilding getting destroyed. Eyewitness account stated he saw a skinny rope like tornado touch down in this area. Several more trees were uprooted or had the tops snapped off in this area as well. The tornado continued southeast and weakened, but continued blowing down trees up and down hills along Dunlap Road and Old Trace Road before lifting. The end time and path of this tornado were adjusted and extended southeast by 3/4 of a mile in July 2019 based on newly available high resolution Google Earth satellite imagery, giving a new path length of 2.45 miles. |
