Description
Tornado touched down near the hamlet of Henfryn alongside Newry Rd. and tracked ESE parallel to the road for approximately 13km causing major damage to a number of farms. At one point it plowed through a bush lot which observers afterward said looked like it had been “shelled”. Should be upgraded to F2 rating as barns were destroyed with their debris scattered.
