Tornado Report Description: This EF-4 tornado that ultimately stayed on the ground for 49 miles across several counties touched down just south of Fredricksburg. Several trees were snapped off with estimated EF-1 damage along a path of 30 yards wide along the south fork of the Blue Lick River. After crossing farmland, the tornado widened and intensified quickly, toppling a high tension metal power structure near the intersection of Homers Chapel and Fredricksburg Roads. Damage at that location was consistent with 130 mph winds. ||High tension wires were downed and trees snapped along West End Road just north of Shanks Hill Road. The tornado continued to intensify as it crossed State Route 135 at Dutch Creek Road, ripping large chunks of 3 inch thick asphalt from a section of roadway and depositing large pieces up to 30 yards away, with smaller chunks of pavement found a quarter of a mile downstream. Just east of State Route 135, tremendous tree damage began. At this point, the tornado widened to around 200 yards. As the tornado crossed Trainer Lane and Route 335 towards Robbs Lane, widespread tree and structural damage indicated EF-2 to EF-3 damage. At this point, the damage path began to widen to one third of a mile. ||After crossing Highway 60 just south of New Pekin, tremendous structural damage was surveyed. A large well-constructed factory building was cleared to its foundation slab with numerous anchoring bolts bent and stripped. Debris from this building was observed up to three quarters of a mile downstream. Large power poles were snapped. Another metal out building on the edge of the circulation had sheeting pulled off, apparently from the force of inbound winds towards the circulation. In this area 5 people were killed in a mobile home. Damage suggested an EF-4 tornado with a width of three to four tenths of a mile and estimated winds of 170 mph. ||The tornado then traveled along the border between Washington and Crawford counties where it caused widespread destruction southeast of Hurst and along East Daisy Hill Road in the county. Here, a well constructed one story brick home at the top of a ridge was completely destroyed with no wall left standing. Witnesses described the funnel as a black wall. A heavy semi trailer cab was blown from this house and landed near another destroyed brick home. Damage to these homes suggested EF-4 winds of 170 mph. Near the intersection of East Daisy Hill and Williams Knob Roads, a home and two anchored double wide trailers were destroyed. A car was lifted and fell 100 yards away from its original driveway. The width of the damage path along the county line was up to one half mile, although the concentrated damage path was much more narrow. Overall, the twister traveled 17 miles in Washington county, felling thousands of trees in addition to destroying scores of buildings.

Tornado Report Description: This tornado snapped and uprooted numerous trees along its 2.4 mile path. After touching down just east of the Lawrence/Washington County line south of W Saltillo Bono Rd, it downed several trees while moving over mainly open pasture land. Near the intersection of N Spangler Hill Rd and W Henry Brown Rd, it heavily damaged a metal outbuilding. From here it continued northeast, downing numerous trees and power lines as it roughly paralleled N Spangler Hill Rd through forested hills before dissipating near the intersection of N Spangler Hill Rd and N White River Rd.

Tornado Report Description: This is the final stretch of the tornado that originated in Orange County, 3.1 miles northwest of Saltillo. After clipping the extreme southeast portion of Lawrence County, it entered Washington County just south of East County Road 700 North and tracked northeastward for another 1.2 miles before dissipating at Spangler Hill Road. It caused EF-1 damage to numerous trees before lifting. The tornado's total path length was 3.2 miles.

The tornado ended just northeast of Lewellen Road where a house suffered roof damage, a 30ft x 50ft shed was destroyed, and a small grain bin was twisted and thrown 100 feet.

Just southwest of the Mount Tabor Road/West Washington Road intersection the twister destroyed two silos and a 20ft x 30ft outbuilding. A single story house also suffered severe damage at that location. At the end of the damage path a house had its roof partially torn off and gravel from the driveway was lifted and pelted into the side of the house.

Tornado Report Description: As a squall line crossed Washington County, a small tornado touched down intermittently within the down burst area. The most intense damage occurred near the intersection of Skylight and Cauble Roads, where several hardwood trees were snapped off, numerous trees were uprooted in different directions, a farm outbuilding was collapsed, and metal sheeting from a well-constructed barn was thrown 200 yards into the trees downwind.||On Cindy Lane near Springhouse Road, a large storage shed was shifted 40 degrees and a well-constructed home had significant loss of roofing.

It destroyed a barn and some other outbuildings on Beck's Mill Road west of Salem. It lifted as it passed the city of Salem, then touched down again intermittently east of Salem.
