Each of these locations had numerous large limbs down and a couple trees. The intensity increased to EF1 as it crossed county road 142 with numerous snapped trees. As the tornado traversed and crossed county road 140, it reached peak intensity of EF2. Extensive tree damage occurred as a corridor of both hardwood and softwood trees were 'mowed' down in a distinct zone at the center of the path. Also, 7-9 power poles were broken here. The high-end timber damage continue north of county road 140 as it passed through a small portion of the eastern side of Clarke County State Park. The last noted minor tree damage was along county road 147. Maximum estimated winds were 113 mph. |
| 04:57Z | EF1 | KGWX | AL | Marion | Shottsville | National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in Marion County and determined that it was consistent with an EF1 tornado, with maximum sustained winds near 90 mph. The tornado touched down just southeast of the intersection of County Road 13 and Grant Road. It rapidly intensified as it tracked northward and crossed County Road 13, where it uprooted dozens of pine trees and a few hardwoods. The tin was partially torn off a small barn and was deposited to the west of the path. Just as quickly as the tornado intensified, it dissipated just north of County Road 13 before reaching County Road 56. |
| 05:14Z | EF1 | KGWX | AL | Franklin | Seven Pines | The tornado touched down on County Road 25 off of County Road 247. Several hardwood and softwood trees were snapped and uprooted at a home on the south side of CR 25. The tornado crossed CR 25 and continued to snap and uproot hard and softwood trees as it crossed CR 247. The tornado continued moving northward through a wilderness area between CR 247 and Winchester Road, snapping and uprooting numerous trees along the path. North of the|wilderness area and a ridge, the tornado approached Winchester Road near the intersection of CR 90. On Winchester Road, the tornado damaged a barn, a wooden outbuilding, and snapped and uprooted trees. It was at this point that the tornado was at its widest at 80 yards. From there, the tornado moved northward toward Highway 90. Along the path, the tornado snapped or uprooted numerous hardwood and softwood trees. Along Highway 90, the tornado blew a tree onto a house, and strewed tin from a farm outbuilding several hundred yards to the north-northeast. The tornado skipped further northeast, snapping and uprooting trees as it traveled toward Coon Dog Cemetery. The tornado lifted shortly before the Colbert County line and no damage was noted northeast of the county line. Damage with this tornado was consistent with an EF-1 tornado, which was assessed at having 100 mph winds. |
| 06:26Z | EF0 | KBMX | AL | Hale | Gallion | National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in Hale County and determined that it was consistent with an EF0 tornado, with maximum sustained winds near 80 mph. The tornado touched down on the south side of E Z Street just south of Highway 80 and tracked northeast where it knocked over a trailer at Mount Olive Missionary Baptist Church. The tornado continued northeast across Gallion Road where it caused timber damage and ripped most of the metal roofing and sides off a large metal shed. Timber damage continued as it moved northeast, impacting portions of Davis and Hall Roads. A home just west of Hall Road suffered minor damage to shingles and overhangs while a home on the north end of Hall Road was impacted by an uprooted tree that resulted in partial roof damage. A large shed between Hall Road and Highway 69 lost nearly all of its metal roof. North of the damaged shed, a home suffered minor siding damage. The tornado then tracked northeast, causing timber damage as it crossed Highway 69 and destroying a shed along with damaging another larger shed. Notable timber damage was observed north and northeast of this point as the tornado moved east of Highway 69 into uninhabited and inaccessible areas. Tornado damage was evident from Prairie Oaks Ranch located on Pecan Road. The tornado caused damage to several trees on the property and some fencing along Cat Bottom Road. The tornado moved northeast across open fields with timber damage along a tree line found along County Road 10. The tornado tracked northeast across County Road 9 where it ripped some metal tin off of a barn and caused additional tree damage. The tornado moved across open fields until it impacted portions of a tree line along a farm road just west of Highway 9. Additional timber damage was found further north along County Road 9 as the tornado turned more northeast. The tornado caused sporadic tree damage before lifting just south of County Road 16. |
| 06:35Z | EF1 | KGWX | AL | Colbert | Spring Vly | The tornado touched down on far southern Renee Drive, at the beginning of the Aycock Heights subdivision. It proceeded to move northward through the subdivision, uprooting and snapping numerous hardwood and softwood trees along its path. Minor structural damage was noted in the subdivision in the form of roof and shingle damage, with several unanchored outbuildings or sheds destroyed. The tornado was at most 70 yards wide within the subdivision. The tornado then damaged a billboard as it crossed Highway 72, before snapping and uprooting several hardwood and softwood trees at a home across the highway from Aycock Heights. An RV was flipped on its side at this location, with |other minor roof damage noted on the home. The tornado uprooted a few trees just north of this location before dissipating in the field just northeast of the property. Damage with this tornado was consistent with an EF-1 tornado, which was assessed at having 100 mph winds. |
| 07:20Z | EF1 | KBMX | AL | Tuscaloosa | Hagler | National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in Tuscaloosa County and determined that it was consistent with an EF1 tornado, with maximum sustained winds near 105 mph. Although it was uncertain as to the exact location of initial touchdown due to inaccessible land, a TDS detected by the KBMX WSR-88D indicates the tornado touched down just north of the Bibb-Tuscaloosa county line. The first damage from the tornado was near Highway 82 near the intersection with Hagler-Coaling Road, where a few weakened large trees were snapped. Several trees fell into the highway but were removed before the survey. As the tornado crossed Highway 82, it intensified rapidly, uprooting scores of hardwood trees, removing the roof off a small barn, and peeling all the shingles off of a home. A cow was killed by one of the falling trees. The tornado continued north-northeastward over a hill and then down across Hagler-Coaling Road. The tree damage was not as concentrated, but several large hardwoods were snapped or uprooted, and a home sustained roof damage. The tornado lifted just east of Hagler-Coaling Road. |
| 07:50Z | EF1 | KMOB | MS | Jackson | Coll Town | A NWS storm survey found that a high end EF-1 tornado touched down near the Pascagoula River. Where it touched down, three camps received damage. The most extensive damage was roof damage greater than 30 percent. A back wall was moved 3 inches due to the force of the wind, but remained structurally intact. The tornado moved northeast to Windrow Road, where it caused more roof damage. The storm then moved across Prescott Road where it briefly lifted the roof off of a home, causing roof and siding damage and blown out windows. The tornado then continued northeast, causing tree damage along Foxshire and Sheffield Roads before lifting along Sheffield Road. The path length was 1.1 miles and path width 50 yards. Maximum estimated wind was 110 mph. |
| 08:21Z | EF0 | KBMX | AL | Perry | Sprott | National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in Perry County and determined that it was consistent with an EF0 tornado, with maximum sustained winds near 80 mph. The tornado touched down near Iveys Chapel Church Road where a few trees were snapped. The tornado tracked northeast across inaccessible terrain until it crossed Mount Pilgrim Church Road where it uprooted some trees. The tornado continued northeast where it neared County Road 219 and removed a small portion of a farm shed. The tornado continued across agricultural fields then caused timber damage as it neared areas of trees. The tornado caused damage to homes just south of Melton Lane off of Highway 219. The tornado ripped nearly half of the roof off of a home and damaged siding. On the northwest side of the home strong winds pulled out two of the three support columns for the carport and that resulted in the roof partially collapsing. The tornado moved north along Highway 219 where it continued to cause notable timber damage. The tornado then tracked northeast across County Highway 183, where more timber damage occurred. The tornado continued northeast before dissipating near Barnette Road. |
| 09:05Z | EF0 | KBMX | AL | Shelby | Simmsville | National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in Shelby County and determined that it was consistent with an EF0 tornado, with maximum sustained winds near 80 mph. The tornado touched down just northeast of County Road 11 near County Road 36. This area was inaccessible, and the tornado start point was based upon a NEXRAD tornado debris signature from the KBMX radar. The tornado navigated rough terrain across Ivy Branch and into the northwest portion of a subdivision along Reach Crest Road and Reach Crest Drive, where thin tree trunks were snapped and other trees were uprooted. One tree was uprooted and fell onto a sports utility vehicle, damaging the rear door and knocking out the window. A nearby residence suffered notable roof damage resulting in three holes that penetrated the ceiling sheet rock and causing water damage to portions of the second level.||The tornado continued northeast where limited uplift to a roof occurred and a wind turbine ventilator was torn off the roof and found over 20 feet away from the home. Across the street along a narrow drainage basin, the funneling of inflow winds likely caused wind speed acceleration that knocked over a heavy metal outdoor grill, tore a few downspouts from their wall anchoring, and downed some fencing by snapping the support posts and blowing the wood at least 10 feet. Further northeast a small portion of a covered drive suffered some uplift of sheathing at North Shelby Baptist Church, where a few trees were snapped or uprooted near the entrance of Belcher Drive. To the east of Highway 280, multiple trees were snapped or uprooted along a portion of Old Highway 280 road near Salser Lane. The tornado tracked north-northeast of this point through uninhabited and inaccessible areas and then reached the Highland Lakes Subdivision where it crossed Highland Lakes Drive and affected areas along Southledge Road. The majority of damage here was due to snapped or uprooted trees though some minor roof damage was noted to a home along Southledge Road. Further northeast along Southledge Road near Ledge Circle, a home lost some shingles and a portion of a backyard fence was downed due to the winds.||The tornado continued northeast and affected some areas along Highland Lakes Trail,|Springhill Lane, Springhill Court, Mountain Trace, and Watersedge Circle. Nearly all of the damage in this area was to uprooted or snapped trees. One home did lose a window likely due to a falling tree. Further northeast the tornado produced tree damage on portions of Knollwood Drive, Watermill Circle, Highland Lakes Trail, Sandhurst Circle, Grove Park Parkway, and Grove Park Circle. Along Grove Park Parkway there was some roof damage to a home along with minor damage to two signs and one street light along the roadway. The tornado damage was confined to trees as it continued northeastward affecting portions of Milners Lane, Crescent Circle, Milners Way, Milner Road West, Milner Way, Hugh Daniel Drive, and Greystone Cove Drive. The tornado gradually weakened in this area and dissipated shortly before reaching Lake Hardwood Drive. |
| 09:14Z | EF0 | KBMX | AL | Shelby | Calera | National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in Shelby County and determined that it was consistent with an EF0 tornado, with maximum sustained winds near 70 mph. The tornado touched down near County Road 16 where it crosses the Vulcan Quarry, causing minor timber damage across Shelby County Road 16 that blocked the roadway. The tornado continued to the north-northeast through inaccessible forested areas and crossed the northern extent of the quarry where no damage was reported by personnel. The tornado moved nearly due north and caused some minor timber damage as it crossed Shelby County Road 22 and uprooted trees as it moved across Sharpsburg Circle. A nearby home had a portion of its wooden fence supports broken due to the winds. Behind a house three trees were uprooted. A few trees were uprooted at the eastern end of Ivanhoe Lane. Further to the north, the tornado crossed Rossburg Drive and Rossburg Place, causing significant roof damage to one home, broke apart portions of five fences, deposited plywood and some roofing material on the roof an other homes, uprooted a few trees and tore a small portion of a roof off of an upstairs room. The tornado then continued northward, between Little John Circle and Nottingham Drive, where it dissipated. |
| 11:28Z | EF1 | KHTX | AL | Etowah | Glencoe | National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in Etowah County and determined that it was consistent with an EF1 tornado, with maximum sustained winds near 95 mph. This tornado began near Taylor Road where a large tree was uprooted and light trim damage was done to a house. Damage intensity rapidly increased as the tornado crossed Rabbittown Road. One residence had significant damage done to its roof and an exterior wall, along with broken windows. A car was also picked up/shifted. A second residence, which appeared to have very little/no anchoring, was greatly shifted from its foundation with heavy roof damage and broken windows. Across the street, a third residence had significant roof and wall damage, along with broken windows. The pattern of fallen trees in this vicinity indicated a cyclonic wind pattern, helping to confirm tornadic winds despite the storm`s presentation on radar.||The tornado continued northeastward, knocking down additional trees as it crossed Highway 278. Several outbuildings were destroyed and tossed downwind at a residence located along Tidmore Bend Road. The tornado then crossed the Coosa River and caused light roof damage to a dock as well as knocked down some trees before dissipating just before Alford Bend Road. |
| 11:50Z | EF0 | KEOX | AL | Pike | Henderson | National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in southwest Pike County and determined that it was consistent with an EF0 tornado, with maximum sustained winds near 70 mph.||The tornado initially touched down north of County Road 6, several miles south of Goshen. It tracked north-northeast mainly over rural farmlands and open fields. Due to the lack of road access, the path width and length were estimated. Wind speeds were based on trees uprooted west of County Road 2243. The survey was prompted by a distinct TDS from the Fort Rucker WSR-88D. |
| 11:53Z | EF0 | KEOX | AL | Crenshaw | Social Town | The tornado formed west of Goshen, AL near the intersection of Jones Bridge Rd and Athen Church Rd where it uprooted trees and tore the roof off of a chicken barn. The tornado continued east causing damage to tree limbs before crossing N Goshen Rd into Pike County. |
| 11:57Z | EF0 | KEOX | AL | Pike | Goshen | National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in far western Pike County and determined that it was consistent with an EF0 tornado, with maximum sustained winds near 70 mph. ||The tornado initially touched down just west of Jones Bridge Road in Crenshaw County.|The tornado crossed into Pike County just north of Greenville Avenue and lifted west of the town of Goshen. Damage in Pike County consisted mostly of uprooted trees and a gas station suffered minor damage. |
