NWS Meteorologists surveyed damage in northeastern Barbour County just north of Eufaula and determined it was the result of an EF-1 tornado.
The tornado touched down in forested land just north of the end of the Yoholo Micco Trail extension, east of Chewalla Creek. It moved east-northeastward and intensified as it approached and crossed US Highway 82, where a few trees were uprooted and one tree was snapped. The tornado crossed mainly open fields as it continued in the same direction. As it crossed US Highway 431, a large pecan tree was uprooted and fell on a house, rendering it unlivable. The tornado began to weaken as it crossed more open fields, and caused damage to a few large limbs along the treeline before dissipating quickly thereafter.
The data is PRELIMINARY and may be subject to change.
