Five others with minor injuries were treated on the scene. Also at this location, a well-built home was partially destroyed. A mobile home was moved off its foundation here as well, with a third of the roof of a hay barn and a horse trailer destroyed. Projectiles were found in the field across the street from this home, with 2x4s impaled a foot to 18 in the ground at this location. Further south and east along State Road 40, large 100+ year old oak trees that were 4-5 foot in diameter were blown down onto a house, collapsing two exterior walls. Windows were sucked out at this location as well prior to the trees falling when the tornado passed just north of the house. Up the street, a well-built home sustained major damage when the tornado ripped the garage off of the house and sheared it to the north and east into the rest of the dwelling. EF-2 wind speeds of 135 mph were noted at this location.||Widespread fallen trees south of State Road 40 were noted and surveyors found damage indicators and degrees of damage consistent with EF-3 (140 mph) tornado damage. The tornado was the strongest and widest at this point along the path, at 880 yards or around 1/2 mile. Along County Road 125, a well built shop building was completely destroyed. The metal building structure was well-anchored with H-beams anchored with large bolts and plates at the bases to the foundation. The bolts were snapped and severely bent, along with the plates. On one corner, a large 4-5 foot section of the foundation was ripped off the ground and strewn about 10 feet away with the column anchoring still intact. A 20,000 pound 18-wheeler cab was tossed more than 150 yards into the field across County Road 125. Other nearby semi-trailers that were parked on the property were strewn in the same direction as well, though most were shifted 50-100 feet. The tornado then proceeded into DeKalb County. |
| 04:06Z | EF2 | KHTX | AL | Dekalb | Elliot Xrds | A tornado continued to track from Jackson into DeKalb County, snapping and uprooting softwood trees over the relatively rural landscape along Melton Drive and Elliot Road. Further east and southeast, the tornado moved across the intersection of Culver, Keith, and Lacey Roads, snapping and uprooting more softwood trees.

Additional softwood trees were uprooted and snapped near the intersection of County Roads 714 and 120 along State Road 40 as well, with the loss of several roof panels to a shed structure at a house located here.|A large oak tree fell onto a house on County Road 665 at 670. The tornado skipped along uprooting and snapping more hard and softwood trees before lifting near the intersection of County Road 611 and State Road 40. |
| 04:14Z | EF1 | KMRX | NC | Jackson | Pumpkintown | NWS storm survey found the path of a strong EF1 tornado that touched down in a heavily wooded area in the Cowee Mountains just east of Pumpkintown and near the Macon County line. The tornado produced minor tree damage as it ascended a ridge near Kirby Knob before rapidly strengthening as it descended through Cullowhee Gap and crossed Tilley Creek Rd. Multiple trees were uprooted along the road with numerous large branches snapped. The tornado quickly reached peak intensity just east of Tilley Creek Rd where an extensive swath of trees received considerable damage. Approximately 80% of the trees in this swath were either snapped or uprooted, with the trees still standing having multiple branches snapped off. The tornado continued as a high-end EF1, snapping or uprooting many trees as it passed just below Moss Knob, turning southeast into a remote and heavily wooded area as it continued to down numerous trees between Pine Knob and Low Ridge with the damage path focused near Whiterock Creek. Several trees were uprooted where the tornado crossed White Rock Rd near Cullowhee Mountain Rd before entering the Cullowhee Forest community where numerous trees were downed along Walking Stick Trail as the tornado paralleled Hunter Jim Creek. After exiting Cullowhee Forest, the tornado crossed the West Fork Tuckasegee River and Highway 107 just below Trout Creek Road. High-end EF1 damage was once again noted as the tornado crossed Highway 107 and ascended a ridge where a stand of trees received modest damage with approximately 60% of the trees felled. The tornado then passed through the northern portion of the Sims Valley community just on the south side of Trout Creek. Numerous trees were downed along the mountainside with several trees brought down in the Trout Creek Campground, which was on the northern fringes of the tornadic circulation. The tornado turned southeast one more time before dissipating in a wooded area near Big Ridge. |
| 04:16Z | EF0 | KGSP | NC | Buncombe | Walkertown | NWS storm survey found the path of a EF0 tornado that touched down along north Fork Road where several trees were uprooted. The tornado moved southeast across Allen Mountain and across the Black Mountain golf course where additional trees were uprooted along with large limbs snapped. The most concentrated damage occurred from Laurel Ave to just north of downtown Black Mountain where multiple trees were uprooted along with numerous large limbs snapped. Several homes sustained damage from falling trees. A radio tower at the Black Mountain Fire Department was also toppled. The tornado lifted along East State St. |
| 04:23Z | EF1 | KGSP | NC | Jackson | Glenville | NWS storm survey found the path of a second EF1 tornado in Jackson County that touched down south of another tornado shortly before the earlier tornado ended. This brief tornado touched down in a wooded area just below Lake Glenville near Shoal Creek Mountain Road. The tornado crossed Shoal Creek Mountain Road twice where the road takes a sharp hairpin turn. The tornado reached peak intensity of in this area where numerous trees were uprooted or snapped with large branches also snapped off. The tornado crossed Highway 107 and moved northeast where it ascended Pilot Mountain, passing very close to the summit. A narrow and focused damage swath of downed trees was documented where the tornado crossed Big Pilot Mountain Road. The tornado descended Pilot Mountain into the Simms Valley community where a couple trees were uprooted and numerous large branches snapped. The tornado quickly turned to the north as it moved towards Trout Creek and dissipated as it merged with the broader area of rotation associated with the first tornado. |
| 05:02Z | EF1 | KHTX | AL | Dekalb | Elliot Xrds | A tornado touched down on County Road 122, snapping and uprooting hard and softwood trees, just east of County Road 91. The tornado continued moving to the east-southeast, snapping and uprooting widespread trees along CR 122. Though there were numerous softwood trees that were damaged, notably, there were several large 4-6 foot in diameter oak trees that were likely 100 years or older that were snapped and uprooted. This led to the slightly higher rating of the tree damage. Any structural damage along this path was from trees that were knocked over by the tornado, and minimal roof loss was noted in this location. |
| 06:39Z | EF0 | KHPX | TN | Benton | Mc Illwain | The intermittent tornado initially touched down in a heavily wooded area between Pauline Road and Coxburg Road South approximately two miles north of Interstate 40.
