NWS Meteorologists surveyed damage southeast of Marion in Perry County and determined it was the result of an EF-2 tornado.
The tornado began along Dr JJ Howard Road where a path of trees were snapped and uprooted either side of farmland. Additional trees were snapped and uprooted along Albert Turner Sr Memorial Highway where a residence escaped any significant damage despite significant surrounding timber damage. The most significant damage occurred along Fikes Ferry Road where a swath of pine trees were snapped, pushing the rating to EF-2. The tornado then continued northeastward, coming to an end before reaching Highway 14 just north of Radford.
The data is PRELIMINARY and may be subject to change.
