The tornado intensified quickly NE of Hwy 41 into an EF-3 as it approached Goodwyne/Collier Rd. A large 100'x150' metal building and small home were completely destroyed. The metal frame and 3'x3'x3' concrete footers for the building were all pulled from the ground with the building and twisted amongst the wreckage leaving holes in the ground around the concrete slab. Several cars were flipped and thrown including a jeep which was thrown onto the small home which sat next to the meta
