The same parent circulation that produced the tornado near Greenwood Plantation produced a second tornado which appears to have first touched down in the Holly Springs neighborhood. Damage was minimal with minor impacts to trees. The tornado remained very weak as it moved northeastward before intensifying near Egg and Butter Road. Numerous trees were snapped and uprooted at this location consistent with an EF-1 tornado with winds of approximately 90 mph. Damage to a barn was caused by falling trees.

An EF1 tornado with peak winds estimated at 100 mph briefly touched down in southeastern Thomas County near the intersection of Scott Rd and Scott Plantation Road immediately adjacent to Seminole Plantation. The tornado crossed Scott Road and moved into Seminole Plantation where there were numerous large pine trees uprooted or snapped near the entrance to the plantation. Within the plantation, one structure was damaged from an uprooted tree landing on a portion of the building. Several other cottages suffered some shingle loss , with one structure losing the bottom portion of the wood frame around the building and another having minor chimney damage. A couple of open air barns had damage, with one having a wall collapse and another being slightly shifted off its foundation. Beyond the structures, numerous large pine trees were uprooted or snapped. When the tornado was near peak intensity several large pine trees were snapped in close proximity with several very large pine trees uprooted. Tree damage was noted beyond reachable distance due to the downed trees blocking the path further into the woods. From surveying on the northwest side of the track along an accessible road, no additional damage was noted, and the tornado is presumed to have lifted before reaching B Green Road and Parramore Fish Pond Road. The National Weather Service in Tallahassee would like to thank the Thomas County Emergency Management Agency for their support in this survey .
