Details from NWS storm survey: A quick tornado feeding off of a microburst crossed into Cabell County from Wayne County, producing sporadic straight-line wind damage from the Huntington Airport eastward to Harvey Road. From drone footage, it was apparent that this microburst descended into the north/south oriented valley at 5th Street Road near Woodhaven Drive. Tree and structural damage in this valley showed strong rotation with damage consistent with an EF1 tornado. Several structures were damaged or destroyed and extensive tree damage occurred. The tornado climbed the ridge to the east of 5th Street Road and dissipated.
