A National Weather Service Damage Assessment Team has surveyed the storm damage in Tuscaloosa County. It has been determined the damage was the result of a tornado. The tornado has been rated an EF-1 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale. Damage estimates were consistent with winds around 90 mph.
Two homes sustained moderate damage. One home had its garage door blown in and subsequently a wall blown out. Wind entered into another homes attic and blew out a portion of the roof. A wooden projectile (1 by 6) was blown approximately 100 yards and embedded into the side of a home. A pontoon boat was also overturned. A special thanks to the Tuscaloosa County Emergency Management Agency for help collecting the assessment information.
