THE TORNADO TOUCHED DOWN NEAR FIRESIDE DRIVE IN DISPUTANTA CAUSING
SOME DOWNED TREES AND A CAR PORT TO BE BLOWN OVER, CONSISTENT WITH
EF0 DAMAGE. THE TORNADO CONTINUED MOVING NORTH NORTHEAST ACROSS WEBB
ROAD AND THEN LEBANON ROAD, CEDAR LANE AND POLE RUN ROAD. MANY TREES
WERE SNAPPED OR UPROOTED AND NUMEROUS SHEDS AND OUTBUILDINGS
RECEIVED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE OR WERE DESTROYED BETWEEN LEBANON ROAD

ASSOCIATED WITH THIS DAMAGE, ALTHOUGH THE EXACT CAUSE CANNOT BE
DETERMINED DUE TO THE LIMITED NATURE OF DAMAGE.
