with part of the roof blown off and front of church blown away. This tornado destroyed 25 homes, 13 homes or businesses
with major damage and 31 with moderate damage/.
Trees were blown down.The Super Severe Weather Outbreak on Feb. 5, 2008 produced supercelluar thunderstorms, well in
advance of a multicell line of thunderstorms. The whole episode lasted about 6 hours. This occurred ironically while many
states, including Tennessee, were participating in the Super Tuesday Primary Election. Fortunately, polls had already closed
in the mid state when these tornadoes struck.
