The tornado moved eastward through the Half Moon Creek lower wooded areas before crossing Beach Road... retaining a consolidated core that could be observed transecting the roadway twice as the tornado track roughly paralleled the roadway. The tornado produced mostly vegetative damage until it approached western Purvis in the Boggy Hollow areas where outbuildings were damaged or destroyed and trees were blown onto homes. A mobile home was blown off of its blocks just north of Purvis-to-Columbia Road... which the tornado approximately moved along as it traveled east-northeast. The tornado intensified to its maximum intensity... producing damage that suggests maximum winds were at least 135 mph as several residences had roofs removed as well as so |
