Survey Summary:
The tornado touched down along the Duck River east of Columbia and
moved northeast causing tree damage and minor structure damage on
Mount Olivet Rd. Multiple homes received damage along Cothran Rd
and Cranford Hollow Rd before the tornado moved north of Highway

Blackburn Lane where large sections of roofs were
removed and hundreds of trees were snapped or uprooted. The tornado
reached its maximum strength along Blackburn Rd and Lasea Rd where
large transmission power trusses were collapsed, a house was
destroyed with only small interior walls still standing, and a
mobile home was swept away. The tornado continued northeast damaging
additional homes before crossing I-65 near mile marker 47. More
homes were damaged along Rally Hill Cutoff Rd and Kedron Rd. The
tornado crossed Highway 431 near Kedron Rd before lifting just past
the Maury/Marshall County line.
