The twister grew in size to 530 yards (0.30 miles) as it crossed Cornith Road, 3 miles SE of Newton. Significant tree damage was observed here. Two wood-frame homes were destroyed, including one that was pushed off its foundation. A mobile home had a wall blown out, and the Greater Corinth M.B. Church sustained roof damage.
For the next four miles, the damage was confined to blowdown in a heavily wooded area. It crossed Route 80, tearing the roof off of a home and destroying a travel trailer. A few more homes received minor damage before the tornado dissipated along Hickory Little Rock Road at 5:22 pm CDT, 1.5 miles NNE of Hickory.
