The tornado then travelled east for just under a half of a mile across an open field where it snapped and uprooted several trees before ending near Jefferson River Road where it caused minor damage to another home. Maximum winds reached 95 MPH and the maximum path width was 100 yards. [03/21/17: Tornado #2, County #1/1, EF-1, Jackson, 2017:032]. |
