The National Weather Service confirmed that an EF-0 tornado hit Sparta Sunday morning.
A damage survey team found a tornado with winds up to 85 mph hit the southeast side of the city early Sunday morning. However, a very wide area of severe straight-line winds up to 95 mph caused much worse damage across the rest of White County.
A Tornado Watch was issued for most of middle Tennessee through 4:00 a.m. on Saturday night.
