NEW TAZEWELL, Tenn. — A tornado tore thru a more than century old lumber business on Friday, May 22, destroying one building and damaging large sections of its main warehouse. Duncan Lumber, established in 1909 in New Tazewell, Tennessee, is working to partially reopen after taking a direct hit from an EF-0 rated tornado. Mark Large was the only employee on site when the storm hit. He was in the warehouse counting lumber and moved to another building minutes before the tornado hit. He was unharmed. The tornado touched down in New Tazewell at 6:58 p.m. on Friday night, with surveyors estimating wind speeds of up to 85 miles per hour, which devastated a local, family-owned business, Duncan Lumber. “It hit behind the building, came through the building and went out the front wall,” said Andy Duncan, the owner of Duncan Lumber. “Blew it out on the street.”
