F4 tornado cuts a devastating swath 300 yards wide and 8 miles long along the northwest edge of Columbia. Hardin, Wayne,
and Lewis Counties may have had related tornado activity before the storm reached Columbia. Most deaths are in the
Macedonia community, 2 miles west of Columbia, where the homes and cabins are “turned into kindling wood.” The funnel
was moving northeastward, heading for the center of Columbia, but turns suddenly to the north. Damage is estimated at
$40,000. The tornado kills 27, and injures 75. It is the 4th deadliest tornado to ever strike Middle Tennessee. An F3 tornado
kills 9 and injures 40 along a 25-mile path across Williamson, Davidson, and Rutherford Counties.
