The EF-1 tornado first touched down in far northwest Bedford County near Carter Crossroads on Kingdom Road. At this location, a half dozen outbuildings, storage buildings, and barns were damaged or destroyed. The tornado continued east-northeast where some minor damage occurred to homes along Longview Road. Garage doors were blown in, fences were knocked down, outbuildings were destroyed, and minor roof damage was observed. The tornado then moved into far southwestern Rutherford County where trees were downed on Threet Road as well as a few outbuildings damaged. More tree damage was observed as the tornado approached Williams Road. This area is no stranger to tornadoes as this tornado crossed the path of the November 2018 Christiana tornado here. This path was also just south of the May 2024 Christiana tornado as well.  This tornado crossed Midland Road and finally lifted near Jones Road before reaching Highway 231.
