The tornado formed along U.S. Highway 641 about 5 miles south of Murray and tracked east into the New Concord area. The tornado was rated F-1 intensity with top winds near 110 MPH. Numerous trees were uprooted or snapped off along the path of the tornado. Some of the trees fell on utility lines, vehicles, and buildings. The area was sparsely populated, so damage was relatively light considering the path length and width. At least a dozen or so homes received some damage, mostly light roof or siding damage. There was moderate damage to at least a couple homes. Several barns were damaged. At one residence, a porch was damaged, along with other items such as a television antenna, fence, and swimming pool. Sheet metal from a barn was blown into treetops.
