| 20:15Z | EF2 | KHPX | KY | Logan | Olmstead | The National Weather Service in Louisville conducted a storm damage assessment survey in Logan County, Kentucky from the storms on Saturday, December 9th. The survey was conducted in very cold conditions with temperatures in the mid to upper 30s with storm damage over 22 miles. ||This storm damage survey is only for the Logan County and Simpson County, Kentucky, portion of a long-track EF3 tornado that touched down on Fort Campbell in Montgomery County, Tennessee. The tornado tracked east northeast across the southern part of Todd County, Kentucky. The tornado continued eastward from Todd County, Kentucky, dropping debris from Allensville into farmers fields between the county line and Gossett Hines Road. The tornado sucked up leftover corn and beans from the fields, throwing them in all directions and covering portions of the roadway. It also knocked some power lines down in this area with wind speeds estimated at 95 mph (EF1) and a path width of 125 yards.||The tornado continued east northeastward, topping some trees near the intersection of Paul Young Road as well as doing significant structural roof damage to a barn. Wind speeds were estimated at 90 mph (EF1), with a path width of 100 yards. ||The tornado increased in width and intensity as it approached Lickskillet. A series of small vortices inside the tornado increased the width to 250 yards, with wind speeds estimated at 115 mph (EF2) in a small area off of Lickskillet Road. A well-built two-story house sustained extensive roof damage, had its foundation shifted, windows blown out, 3 vehicles thrown and severely damaged, and 2 barns destroyed with impalement of barn boards. Debris was thrown several hundred yards from the north to |the east southeasterly direction. NWS drone footage clearly showed a large forested area had trees snapped, uprooted, twisted and facing numerous directions. The drone footage also showed debris deposited up to 500 yards to the east northeast. ||Several barns and outbuildings were destroyed along Lickskillet Road, with barn metal sheeting wrapped around trees and insulation on the front and back sides of homes. The survey team once again observed leftover corn and beans from harvested crops thrown all over the place. Wind speeds in this area ranged from 95 to 105 mph (EF1) with a damage width of 250 yards. ||Witness testimony and video clearly showed several small vortices mainly rain wrapped in this area. Numerous people heard the strong wind and roar and felt a severe pressure drop in their eardrums. ||The tornado next hit a couple of homes on Watermelon Road (Hwy 1041). Significant roof damage occurred, including major loss of shingles, loss of gutters and large sections of the roof ripped off and mangled. There were several uprooted trees, and 2 outbuildings were destroyed. Some damage was thrown 400 yards to the east northeast. Wind speeds in this area ranged from 95 to 105 mph (EF1) with a width of 250 yards.||The next concentrated damage area was near the intersection of Johnson Young Road (Highway 739) and McIntosh Road. Several greenhouses had their roofing material ripped apart and bent, and two outbuildings and one barn were destroyed. Several witnesses had video of the tornado, which showed several small vortices. This was extremely helpful to determine why some areas had almost no damage, while other areas had substantial damage. Dozens of large trees were uprooted and snapped on the west side of McIntosh Road behind the greenhouses. Wind speeds in this area were between 100 and 105 mph (EF1) with a width of 250 yards.||The tornado significantly damaged roofing structures of two homes on Orndorff Mill Road (Highway 96). One middle section of the home on the west side of Hwy 96 was completely destroyed, and the home on the east side of Hwy 96 had most of its roof ripped off. There were some structural flaws to these homes and pine trees next to the home were not significantly affected. Thus, wind speeds were kept at 95 mph (EF1). Two barns were destroyed at this location as well. ||Along Nashville Road (Highway 431), there was some metal uplift of some barns and one outbuilding, while no foundation support was destroyed. Wind speeds were between 80 and 85 mph (EF0) with a width of 175 yards.||Along Franklin Road (Highway 100), there were several power poles snapped or knocked down, and some shingle, gutter, and soffit damage to one home. Wind speeds were 90 mph (EF1) with a width of 175 yards.||Along Dennis Corinth Road (Highway 2369), there was a partial uplift of an old barn. The debris from the barn was thrown to the north and east directions. The eastern debris struck a single- family residence, doing roof, gutter, and broken glass damage. Wind speeds were between 80 and 85 mph (EF0) with a width of 100 yards.||The last observed damage from the December 10th survey was roof damage to a barn on Carter Road with debris thrown into a farmer's field, stopping before Montgomery Road.

Roof damage to barns and outbuildings were found to be at EF0 strength at 80 mph. The tornado then continued across Friendship Road and did damage along Harris Road where a barn under construction was leveled. Winds in excess of 90 mph were determined to occur here at EF1 strength.||The tornado continued across Logan Middleton Road where EF0 damage occurred to a home and barns just to the east of the highway. At this point, the tornado crossed just into Simpson county along Clifford Peart and J Wilson Road where additional barn damage occurred. No additional damage was observed from the tornado beyond |Clifford Peart Road.

The tornado began to weaken as it tracked on the north side of the Samford University campus with a few trees down in this area. The tornado dissipated near the Windsor Highlands Community along the north edge of the Samford Campus. |
| 06:13Z | EF1 | KBMX | AL | Jefferson | Homewood | An EF-1 tornado touched down just west of US Highway 31 in the Southwood community, just east of Lakeshore Foundation. Numerous softwood trees were knocked down across Old Montgomery Highway and Ashley Road, with some on homes. The tornado tracked east, nearly paralleling Lakeshore Drive/Shades Creek Parkway. At this point the tornado was near its maximum EF-1 intensity and also its widest point of 200 yards. Several houses on the north side of Shades Creek Parkway along Yorkshire Drive, Devon Drive, and Windsor Drive were damaged by falling trees. Power poles were snapped as well. The north facing side of Brookwood Mall also sustained minor structural damage. The very narrow tornado passed through the interchange of US Highway 280 and Shades Creek Parkway, with tree and power line damage noted around the interchange. The tornado moved northeastward across Cahaba Road and up a ridge, with a defined area of tree damage consisting of uproots and snapped limbs and tree tops. The last observable damage occurred at the top of the ridge along Cherokee Road. |
| 07:19Z | EF0 | KEOX | AL | Barbour | Blue Spgs | The tornado began in rural southwestern Barbour County just west of Lury Walker Road with a single tree uprooted along the road bank and a few branches off of trees. The tornado track mainly consisted of sporadic very minor tree damage, yet the path remained discernible and consistent with the associated tornado debris signature (TDS). The tornado crossed Alabama Highway 10 and entered Henry County just north of and parallel to County Rd (CR) 54. The total path length was 8.01 miles across Barbour and Henry counties. |
| 07:22Z | EF0 | KEOX | AL | Henry | Edwin | This is a continuation of the EF0 tornado from Barbour County. The tornado began in rural southwestern Barbour County just west of Lury Walker Road, with a single tree uprooted along the road bank and a few branches off the trees. The entire tornado track mainly consisted of sporadic very minor tree damage, yet the path remained discernible and consistent with the associated Tornado Debris Signature (TDS) noted on doppler radar. The tornado crossed Alabama Highway 10 and entered Henry County just north of and parallel to County Rd (CR) 54, before crossing CR 54 just before CR 216. The tornado reached its maximum width of approximately 200 yards wide as well as its maximum intensity, with relatively more widespread tree damage, as well as superficial damage to several manufactured homes. The tornado continued northeastward through forested land before crossing CR 75 and CR 235. It continued across the East Fork of the Choctawhatchee River before crossing CR 29. As the tornado crossed CR 235, it struck a chicken farm, where it caused primarily narrow and minor damage to 6 chicken barns. The tornado continued to the northeast and dissipated before crossing CR 54 yet another time. Max winds were estimated around 75 mph. Damage was estimated. |
| 10:36Z | EF0 | KMXX | AL | Lee | Bupree | The National Weather Service surveyed in southwestern Lee County and found the damage was consistent with an EF0 tornado. The tornado initially touched down along County Road 30 where several trees were uprooted and a single family residence sustained minor damage. The tornado continued east-northeast crossing County Road 29 where additional trees were uprooted and a home had roof damage. It was also noted that a car window was blown out. The tornado then crossed County Road 11 just before lifting north of County Road 39. Additional soft and hard wood trees were damaged and uprooted along these two roads. It should be noted that this damage was adjacent to the EF4 tornado that impacted Lee County in 2019. |
| 11:30Z | EF1 | KEVX | FL | Holmes | Gritney | A tornado touched down just east of the Chattahoochee River in southern Holmes County and headed northeast. Damage along the path consisted of snapped and uprooted trees. No structural damage was found. The largest concentration of damage occurred on CR 179 along and east of Boat Ramp Road. Several pines were snapped on either side of the highway and there were a couple of uprooted hardwood trees as well. The tornado then crossed a remote unpopulated area along Wright's Creek before damaging some trees on Bonifay Gritney Road between Dyson Circle and Faircloth Drive. No additional damage was found east of that location. Damage was consistent with an EF-1 tornado with maximum winds of 90-95 mph. |
