IN MARION COUNTY A TORNADO WAS ON THE GROUND FOR APPROXIMATELY 6 MILES WITH A DAMAGE PATH THAT WAS 200 YARDS WIDE. THE TORNADO WAS RATED AS AN F1 ON THE FUJITA SCALE. THE TORNADO INITIALLY TOUCHED DOWN ABOUT 4 MILES SOUTHWEST OF DURHAM THEN MOVED NORTHEAST. APPROXIMATELY 3 MILES NORTHWEST OF DURHAM SEVERAL OUTBUILDING WERE DAMAGED OR DESTROYED. DEBRIS FROM ONE OF THE OUTBUILDING STRUCK A HOUSE AND DAMAGED IT AS WELL. THE TORNADO LIFTED ABOUT 2 1/2 MILES NORTH OF DURHAM. THAT WAS THE LOCATION WHERE IT KNOCKED A CAR OFF OF K-15 AND A PERSON IN THE VEHICLE WAS INJURED.
