What the reports say
Written by National Weather Service staff at the time of the event · public domain
A very intense downburst along a line of severe thunderstorms produced extensive and widespread wind damage to trees, structures and some vehicles throughout the Evergreen area. A large wall of the building housing a local clothing store collapsed, temporarily trapping several people in the building, two of whom received minor injuries. A vehicle outside the building was crushed by the collapsed wall. In addition, the extremely strong winds damaged or destroyed at least 28 other buildings and homes . Several eyewitnesses said no "freight train" sound was heard. It just sounded like a "puff" of wind!
A large bow shaped thunderstorm complex began near Interstate 65 just west of Castelberry. The complex moved east northeast blowing down several trees. Most of the damage occurred near Hwy 31 where the bow shaped complex broad sided several structures. Two homes and one barn were damaged here. This is also where the weak tornado occurred. The system continued tracking east northeast blowing down numerous trees along its path. The bow shaped complex weakened near Nymph.
A line of severe thunderstorms moved through the county between 1140 pm and 1230 am. Trees and power lines were blown down throughout the county. The most damage was in the west part of the county. No injuries were reported.
