The tornado formed on the north side a surge in the |winds along Long Swamp Church road very near the Bent Tree Lodge |and Vineyard and Angel on Horseback pavilion. Several trees were |snapped and uprooted in this area. The tornado continued eastward |through a wooded area crossing Dank road behind several homes on |the north side of Fitts Road. The tornado reached maximum |intensity as it crossed Fitts and Dank Roads where numerous trees |were snapped and uprooted, 1 home lost its roof, another home |sustained major roof damage and an outbuilding was destroyed. The |tornado continued southeast snapping and uprooting trees before |dissipating as it reached Skyline Drive. Peak winds were estimated around 95 mph (EF-1 tornado). |
