Survey Summary:
The tornado was part of a cyclical supercell moving southeastward
through Jones County just west of US-277. The tornado that
produced damage dropped just north of CR-460 and moved southeast
before causing damage to metal outbuildings on two properties. It
continued southeast then turned to the south- southwest where it
damaged a home and snapped some trees and wooden power poles. It
continued southwestward before completely destroying a home that
was under construction. It also threw several trucks and a trailer
about 100 yards before crossing CR-458. Continuing southwestward,
the tornado completely destroyed another house and injured a
family of four. The tornado made one more turn southeastward where
it hit a small neighborhood. In the neighborhood, it caused roof
damage to a few homes and outbuildings. Before exiting the
neighborhood, it took most of the roof off of a house and caused
some of the walls to collapse. It also destroyed a metal garage
and heavily damaged an attached metal outbuilding. The tornado
crossed FM-605 before dissipating shortly thereafter.
