Intermittent tornado first damaged a farmstead, where metal roofing on a well-built shed was peeled back and another shed and a 3,000 pounds (1,400 kg) bale of hay were thrown about 100 feet (30 m). The tornado skipped along (briefly lifting) and did considerable damage to a residence: a large portion of roofing was removed from the house, a deck was lifted over the house and deposited on a road, and a garage door was blown in. The entire home and a nearby small storage shed were slightly shifted off of their foundations. The tornado continued skipping eastward and caused minor shingle damage to two sheds and another residence. It briefly lifted for the third time and touched back down, downing two large pine trees, both of which caused considerable damage to a residence. Many other trees were downed along the path.[4]

Hundreds of trees were downed just south of Big Creek along the Deep Creek trail within the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (southwest of the Interstate 40 intersection with the NC/TN border and several miles north-northwest of Maggie Valley). The exact start point is unknown, as much of the path was inaccessible, but the park maintenance crew and a survey team from the University of North Carolina at Asheville determined that the tornado may have either touched down near the Tennessee state line or touched down in Tennessee and crossed the state line. A hiker was injured by a fallen tree and was airlifted to a hospital when he was discovered the next day. This was the first documented F/EF1+ tornado on the North Carolina side of the park.[82][83]
