What the reports say
Written by National Weather Service staff at the time of the event · public domain
Widespread wind damage occurred within the city of Clarksville. Several of the older buildings had their metal roofs peeled back and partially thrown. A couple of gas stations either lost their canopies or had their canopies collapse. A car repair shop and the county jail also had their roofs lifted by the winds. The section of the open air metal roof at the lumberyard uplifted and was thrown nearly a half of a mile. The volunteer fire department also had their roof peeled back. A number of trees were snapped and uprooted as well. Nearly every street in town had some form of wind damage, but no tornado track was found even though a funnel cloud was witnessed in the area.
On sight survey by WCM indicated a microburst occurred. Damage was divergent to the northeast blowing tin roofs off sheds, breaking glass, and demolishing a wood and tin barn. An empty truck bed sitting normal to the wind flow was overturned just south of Highway 82 and east of the Clarksville WalMart parking lot.
A swath of sporadic wind damage extended from west of Clarksville along County Road 1245 and County Road 1286 eastward into the southern portions of the city of Clarksville. Most of the damage consisted of snapped and uprooted trees. A few isolated instances of shingle loss and minor roof damage was found within the city limits of Clarksville.
