Survey Summary:
Tornado damage appeared to have started to a barn and some trees
across a field from each other west of Combs Ferry Rd. The
tornado continued southeast towards homes on a family`s property.
Trees were downed here with some outfieldings` roofs damaged.
Residents of one home said a set of 2nd story windows popped out
and fell to the ground. Another nearby resident said all the
interior doors of their home opened up as the tornado passed by.
A security camera video showed a white intense area of rainfall
moving across the property in an area where a row of trees ended
up getting snapped.The tornado continued east southeastward
toward a home near the intersection of Jones Nursery Rd and Combs
Ferry Rd. The resident was in a nearby attached garage when it
went through. He witnessed the rains going in one direction
before the tornado hit and then switch quickly to a different
direction behind it. One section of the main home`s roof was
completely taken off and thrown east southeast.  The wind hit the
west-facing garage doors flush, causing both doors to buckle but
not collapse. The brick work in between the doors was buckled as
well. No further damage was noted southeast of this property, so
the tornado appeared to have lifted by this point.There were
several trees downed on the south side of the tornado, likely
with strong inflow winds. Jones Nursery Rd had trees down all
along the road, but most of the damage had been cleaned up before
the survey occurred.Thanks to the multiple family residents of
Combs Ferry Rd who gave us a tour of their property, and thanks
to Clark County Emergency Management for giving us the details of
where the damage occurred.
