Survey Summary:

A tornado touched down on the Tennessee River just east of where the Elk
River meets the Tennessee River and proceeded to move inland at the
Brigadoon neighborhood. Public photos and videos confirm the tornado
was over water before it moved on land. It first caused damage at
Inverness Place and this is where the homes with the largest amount of
damage was found. The home that had the greatest damage had all
exterior walls facing the river collapsed, the roof of the main
part of the house completely gone and the two story four car
garage was collapsed with the roof also gone. The front of the
house and interior rooms remained in tact. This damage is
correlated with low end EF-3 damage. Homes nearby had substantial
roof damage, damaged vehicles, and other various exterior damage.
Numerous large trees throughout the neighborhood were uprooted or
snapped. Moving further into the subdivision, there was roof and
exterior home damage to a lesser extent, fences knocked over by
other debris and broken windows. The tornado lifted in a field
outside of the subdivision.
