SURVEY SUMMARY:
A TORNADO TOUCHED DOWN OVERNIGHT IN WESTERN HINDS COUNTY, IN THE
VICINITY OF BETIGHEIMER AND CANADA CROSS ROADS. NWS FIELD SURVEY
TEAMS FOUND DAMAGE SUPPORTIVE OF EF-0 RATING IN AN AREA
CONCURRENT WITH RADAR-DERIVED TORNADO DEBRIS SIGNATURES (TDS).
THE TORNADO MOVED GENERALLY JUST SOUTH OF DUE EAST ALONG CANADA
CROSS ROAD WHICH BECOMES BILL STRONG ROAD EAST OF MIDDLE ROAD.
SEVERAL TREES WERE DOWNED ALONG THE PATH WITH SOME OF THE TREES
HAVING SNAPPED TRUNKS. INSPECTION OF THE TREES AND CONSULTATION
WITH LOCAL OFFICIALS CONFIRMED THAT THE SNAPPED TREES WERE DEAD
OR OTHERWISE WEAK. FOR THIS REASON, THE TORNADO WAS RATED AT EF-
0 FOR PEAK INTENSITY DESPITE THE SNAPPED TRUNKS. OTHERWISE,
DAMAGE WAS CONFINED TO VEGETATION AND MOSTLY SMALLER LIMBS. THE
TORNADO LIFTED ALONG BILL STRONG ROAD AFTER TRAVELLING NEARLY TWO
MILES ALONG THE ROAD WAY. THE TORNADO WAS ESTIMATED TO HAVE
MAXIMUM WINDS OF 75 MPH, WAS ON THE GROUND FOR APPROXIMATELY
1.75 MILES, AND HAD A MAXIMUM WIDTH ESTIMATED AT 100 YARDS.
EF SCALE: THE ENHANCED FUJITA SCALE CLASSIFIES TORNADOES INTO THE
