Survey Summary:
A broad area of wind damage became more obvious as it moved
towards Elm Grove. The damaged became focused enough to produce a
convergent damage path near Russell`s Chapel Church and continued
northeast to Kentucky Lake. Over 100 trees were uprooted, or had
their trunks snapped. Unlike areas further west the damage along
Snipe Creek Rd was focused and more complete with trees lying in
a convergent pattern. Upstream from tornado genesis wheat fields
showed straight line and complicated patterns of damage
consistent with 60-70 mph winds.
