Survey Summary:

The NWS Survey Team, in conjunction with the Bronston, Burnside
and Haynes Knob Fire Departments, confirmed that a tornado touched 
down on Hardwick Road in the Bronston Community. Initially it
resulted in numerous tree damage upon touchdown, then impacted 
multiple structures as it moved NNE along Hardwick Road, including
the rolling of two mobile homes and injuring two residents. The 
tornado then continued across the Cumberland River, clipping the 
southern portion of General Burnside State Park, mainly near the 
boat ramp parking lot, resulting in further tree damage. From here
it moved on across the river and made its way toward the Lake 
Cumberland Speedway, which sustained multiple points of damage. 
The tornado then tracked northeast into the Antioch community, 
resulting in numerous instances of structural and tree damage. The
tornado finally lifted on Antioch Church Road near Antioch Bend. 
Maximum sustained winds were 110 mph with a path length of just 
over 3 miles, and a path width of 100 yards.

Special thanks to the Fire Chiefs of the Bronston, Burnside, and 
Haynes Knob Fire Departments.
