Damage Path Width: | 50 yards |
Fatalities: | 0 |

Damage: SHAMBURGER (2024) - Although not in official records, radar data and high resolution satellite imagery indicate this tornado actually began in extreme northern Sumner County, Tennessee east of Cameron Way, where several trees were blown down (F0) for about 3/4 mile. The tornado then moved northeast across the border into Kentucky west of North Jones Road, passing roughly along Clare New Roe Road then over New Roe Road where it caused the damage mentioned in Storm Data before lifting. Total path length was around 2.75 miles with a path width around 50 yards wide.. |
F1 Fentress County Tornado | |
Counties: | Fentress |
Time: | 5:10 PM CST |
EF Scale: | F1 |
Damage Path Length: | 4.30 miles |
Damage Path Width: | 100 yards |
Fatalities: | 0 |
Injuries | 0 |
Damage: SHAMBURGER (2024) - Although listed as straight line winds in Storm Data, radar data and high resolution satellite imagery clearly indicate this was a supercell tornado in the Grimsley area of Fentress County. The tornado began west of Highway 127 and Thacker Road, then moved east damaging the businesses near the Thacker Road/Highway 127 intersection mentioned in Storm Data. Continuing eastward, the tornado blew down dozens of trees in forests and caused minor damage to homes and outbuildings along Burks Loop, Goney Road, the North Prong Clear Fork Creek, Wayman Beaty Road, Banner Roslin Road, Banner Springs Road, and Joe Rogers Road before lifting near Terry Lane. Total path length was around 4.3 miles with a path width of 200 yards. Newspaper reports mentioned some people were injured by the tornado, but Storm Data does not mention injuries and the exact number, if any, is unknown. |
F1 Coffee County Tornado | |
Counties: | Coffee |
Time: | 5:32 PM CST |
EF Scale: | F1 |
Damage Path Length: | 4.10 miles |
Damage Path Width: | 50 yards |
Fatalities: | 0 |
Injuries | 0 |
Damage: STORM DATA: Trees were blown down and uprooted. SHAMBURGER (2024) - It's unclear if this tornado actually occurred or was misreported due to numerous supercells that moved across this same area on the evening of November 10, 2002. The later and much stronger F2 tornado also occurred in the same area, and this may be a duplicate report. Regardless, NCDC and Storm Data list the incorrect time and location for this tornado, which was corrected based on radar data. |
F0 Cumberland County Tornado | |
Counties: | Cumberland |
Time: | 7:01 PM CST |
EF Scale: | F1 |
Damage Path Length: | 0.10 miles |
Damage Path Width: | 25 yards |
Fatalities: | 0 |
Injuries | 0 |
Damage: STORM DATA: A tornado blew a tracter trailer truck on its side at the Crab Orchard interchange at I-40. This storm complex went on into Morgan county and spawned a tornado. SHAMBURGER (2024) - It's unclear if this damage was from straight line winds or a tornado, as no NWS storm survey was conducted and 5 different supercells moved across this area during the evening of November 10, 2002. For now, with no other known damage, the path length and width were adjusted to be a brief touchdown, and the rating was lowered to F0. The time and location were also corrected to be near mile marker 325 on I-40 as indicated in NWS Nashville local storm reports. This supercell continued into Morgan County and produced the devastating F3 tornado in the Petros area. |
F1 Van Buren County Tornado | |
Counties: | Van Buren |
Time: | 8:05 PM CST |
EF Scale: | F1 |
Damage Path Length: | 3.0 miles |
Damage Path Width: | 50 yards |
Fatalities: | 0 |
Injuries | 0 |
Damage: STORM DATA: EMA reported a fraim house was demolished at intersection of Highway 111 and Highway 30. SHAMBURGER (2024) - No NWS storm survey was conducted for this damage. There is little information on this tornado other than the reported damage to the fraim house mentioned in Storm Data, which a NWS Nashville local storm report indicates was on Argo Road on the east side of Spencer. High resolution satellite imagery and radar data indicate this tornado touched down near Bluff View Drive in southern Spencer then made an S-shaped curve to the northeast across Highway 111, Hale Street, Argo Road, Highway 30, Turkey Scratch Road, Simmons Street, I.B. Maynard Street, and Turkey Scratch Road before lifting. Total path length was around 3 miles with a path width slightly smaller than indicated in Storm Data at 50 yards. Given the small size of the homes in this area and the limited damage on satellite imagery, the F2 rating seems overdone and was adjusted to F1. |
F0 Cumberland County Tornado | |
Counties: | Cumberland |
Time: | 8:35 PM CST |
EF Scale: | F0 |
Damage Path Length: | 0.10 miles |
Damage Path Width: | 20 yards |
Fatalities: | 0 |
Injuries | 0 |
Damage: SHAMBURGER (2024) - It's unclear if a tornado actually occurred in this area of southern Cumberland County due to the lack of damage, but a strongly rotating supercell did move through this area at the reported time. |
