Debris was also strewn across a field on the southern side of the circulation. The tornado continued east across Highway 87 where several more duplexes sustained minor roof damage with a couple of uprooted trees noted in the area as well. The tornado was rather short-lived with a path length of roughly one-quarter mile, and no notable areas of damage before or after the Housing Authority property.

The tornado then turned northward and crossed Highway 231 where video footage of the tornado was taken. The tornado lifted near Parron Church Road.
