After the tornado crossed FM 920, it tracked along Johnson Bend Road uprooting more trees and causing damage to sheds and outhouses. However, the tornado also directly impacted a small complex of duplexes, taking off half the roof covering on 3 of the buildings. Continuing along a path to the north-northeast, the tornado caused minor damage in a residential area along Oak Drive, north of Johnson Bend Road. The tornado continued tracking a little bit more to the northeast, damaging trees on a property on Adair Lane, before dissipating north of this area.

This is where the tornado received its highest rating of EF-1 with maximum winds of 110 mph. Moving north, the tornado impacted another home along South FM 113, damaging a carport, sheds, barns, and trees. The tornado took a more northeasterly track after reaching East Poe Prairie Road, causing relatively minor damage as it moved north along the west side of Stephens Road. However, the tornado nearly directly hit another home on the north end of Stephens Road resulting in roof damage and considerable tree damage on the property. From here, the tornado was mostly tracked for another 2 to 3 miles by broken tree limbs and other tree damage until the tornado dissipated near Old Millsap Road and Sandy Hill Road. The maximum width of the tornado was 110 yards. .Near Adell...
