01:48Z EF0 KLIX LA Livingston Lockhart A NWS storm survey found some spotty minor damage southwest of Walker. Shingles were removed from several roofs and a few small trees were snapped. The estimated peak wind speed was 65 to 75 mph.
02:11Z EF1 KLIX LA Livingston Livingston The meso-cyclone thunderstorm that produced a weak tornado south of Walker produced another weak tornadoes north of Livingston. A NWS damage survey discovered tree damage along Louisiana Highway 1036, including several pine trees that were snapped at the base. Estimated wind speed was 86 to 95 mph with a maximum path width of 300 yards.
02:27Z EF1 KDGX MS Jones Mill Creek An EF1 tornado touched down along Pavillion Road, tracked northeast across Holifield Road, US Highway 84 and lifted along Charlie Green Road. Two power poles were snapped, a barn was heavily damaged, the roof of a chicken house was heavily damaged and a mobile home was blown off of its blocks. Numerous trees were also blown down.

07:11Z EF1 KBMX AL Perry Folsom The tornado first touched down a few hundred yards west of Boots Northcutt Road, north of Alabama Hwy 14 in western Perry County. As it crossed the road to the east, a few hardwood trees were snapped. The tornado tracked to the northeast across inaccessible land, then crossed Lower Polecat Road. Numerous hardwood and softwood trees were snapped , and tossed into an open field. This is where the tornado reached a maximum wind speed of 100 mph. A few hardwoods at the opposite edge of the field were also uprooted. The tornado crossed more inaccessible land and weakened as it crossed County Road 23, then quickly dissipated.
07:37Z EF1 KMOB AL Washington Chatom Muni Arpt This tornado produced a non-continuous damage path. The tornado first touched down along highway 56 and moved northeast where it hit a house and caused minor roof damage and broken windows. In the same area a poorly constructed barn was severely damaged. The tornado continued northeast where it hit a hunting camp and flipped 3 campers. The storm continued northeast and caused damage along St. Stephens Ave. where a chicken coop was damaged and a tree fell on a mobile home. The tornado continued northeast and crossed the Tombigbee river Into Clarke County.
08:00Z EF1 KMOB AL Clarke Salitpa This tornado produced a non-continuous damage path. The storm moved out of Washington County and into Clarke County east of St. Stephens. The storm continued northeast and crossed the Tombigbee river into Clarke County. The tornado caused damage along Bolen Town Road where numerous trees were snapped and a large tree was completely uprooted and fell on a house, causing extensive damage. An older home suffered roof damage near Toddtown. Tree damage continued along Highway 69 before the storm weakened with damage ending near Antioch Road.
08:51Z EF0 KEVX FL Bay Laird A tornadic debris signature was seen on dual-pol radar at this location. This is a rural and heavily forested area with no structural damage reported and poor road access.
09:59Z EF1 KEOX AL Butler Georgiana The tornado touched down near Norrell Ave. and tracked northeast across Palmer and Veneer Ave. It was at these locations where the tornado reached its peak intensity. Significant tree damage was observed and many power lines were downed. A few sheds and outbuildings were destroyed with minor shingle damage noted to a couple of homes. The tornado tracked northeast across highway 31 and 106, producing sporadic tree damage. The tornado lifted near Bushy Creek Drive and Mccall Road. Prior to lifting the tornado produced minor damage to a couple of mobile homes and two cars were heavily damaged by trees.
10:17Z EF2 KTLH FL Calhoun Kennys Mill The tornado likely began in a heavily forested area with limited access just SW of the Calhoun Correctional Institution - between the prison grounds and Highway 71. The beginning point was estimated based on the rest of the damage path and a lack of observed damage along Highway 71. The tornado then quickly intensified as it moved into the prison grounds. Several concrete buildings were heavily damaged - including a two-story printing facility. The eastern wall of that particular building was completely collapsed with the roof almost entirely removed. An adjacent concrete building also had large sections of roof removed. The damage to both of these buildings was rated EF2 with maximum estimated winds of 120-130 mph - in the high end of the EF2 range. Other buildings, including some warehouses, were also damaged on the prison grounds. There were some light poles that were snapped, and some trees near the entrance to the facility were also snapped. All of that additional damage was rated EF1. Over 30 cars that were parked in the parking lot by the administrative building were damaged, and some were tossed or rolled as much as 50-100 yards - a few badly crumpled due to impacts. There were some objects driven into the ground near the parking lot as well; an emergency manager also observed a screwdriver driven into the bottom of a flipped vehicle. Some concrete curbs along the parking lot were ripped from the ground.||After moving northeast off the prison grounds, the tornado crossed some forested area near the Apalachicola River, clipping areas along the southern tip of River Road and then crossing Highway 20 just west of the Apalachicola River bridge. There were numerous healthy, large trees that were snapped in the damage path, as well as some power poles. This portion of the damage path was rated EF1 with maximum winds of around 100 MPH. This tornado continued into Liberty county and eventually ended in Gadsden county.||Monetary damage for this tornado was estimated at around $2 million. Structural damage to the prison was estimated at around $1.8 million, but the $1.8 million figure did not include fencing, lighting, or vehicle damage that also occurred.
10:24Z EF0 KTLH FL Liberty Bristol This is a continuation of the Calhoun County tornado. The tornado then moved through northwest Liberty County. We were able to determine it was a continuous damage path as there was damage noted along all of the major roadways that intersected the radar rotation track. The damage in Liberty County was limited to primarily trees, and this segment of the damage path was rated EF0 with maximum winds of 70-80 MPH. Measurements of the width of the damage path on several roads in Liberty County indicates that the tornado may have been at its widest at this point, though, with a maximum path width of around 420 yards. This tornado then continued in Gadsden county.
10:25Z EF1 KEOX AL Crenshaw Blackrock The tornado first touched own on Cook Stand Road just east of the Butler County line. Several homes experienced significant damage due to downed trees. A double wide manufactured home was shifted off its blocks. The tornado tracked east northeast across highway 10 where it produced minor shingle damage and broken windows to a single family home. The tornado continued northeast producing sporadic tree damage. A chicken house was destroyed on Quail Tower Road. The tornado intensified again as it crossed highway 331. Numerous chicken houses were destroyed on CR 50 and Cross Road. The tornado continued northeast and produced additional sporadic tree damage until it reached the Pike County line just south and east of Petrey.
10:38Z EF1 KTLH FL Gadsden Sycamore This is a continuation of the tornado from Calhoun and Liberty counties. The last portion of the damage path was in southwest Gadsden County where the tornado briefly intensified and the damage path narrowed. Another corridor of more significant tree damage was noted near Sycamore Road and Winding Creek Road. Numerous trees were snapped or uprooted, and several power poles were snapped. A few homes in this area had some minor damage to the exterior of the structure. Damage in this area was rated EF1. The damage path quickly narrowed thereafter, and the damage became more sporadic, with the last damaged noted along Flat Creek Road just east of Audie Clark Road.||With a total damage path length of 22.3 miles, this was the longest tornado path in the NWS Tallahassee County Warning Area (CWA) since March 1, 2007 (two tornadoes with about a 30mi path length in SE Alabama and SW Georgia during that event).||This is also the longest tornado path in the state of Florida since a February 1, 2007 tornado in Lake and Volusia Counties in central Florida (26 miles).
10:45Z EF1 KMXX AL Pike Wingard This tornado is a continuation from the track surveyed in Crenshaw County by the the Mobile National Weather Service Forecast Office. The tornado continued into Pike County crossing County Road 1160 where numerous hard and softwood trees sustained damage. Most of the damage observed was sheared tree tops and large broken branches. From there, the damage path continued northeast across the northern portion of the county. The most significant and widespread damage occurred along County Road 1139, where maximum winds reached 90 mph. Numerous trees were snapped about half way up and several trees were also uprooted. The maximum width was also measured at this location. The tornado continued northeast crossing several more county roads and Highway 231. Tree damage was minor and sporadic for much of the rest of the path, with mainly large tree branches and limbs down. The tornado the crossed into Bullock County along County Roads 15 and 8, near Stills Crossroads.
11:11Z EF0 KMXX AL Bullock Postoak This tornado is a continuation from a track surveyed in Pike County. The tornado crossed into southwest Bullock County near County Road 69. The tornado continued northeast crossing County Road 15, where maximum winds reached 75 mph. The tornado dissipated just east of County Road 8. The damage along the path consisted mainly of downed large tree limbs.
11:57Z EF0 KTLH FL Jackson Grand Ridge Three mobile homes were damaged by a brief EF0 tornado near Grand Ridge. Monetary damage was estimated.
