NWS Meteorologists surveyed damage in extreme southeast Montgomery County eastward into northern Pike County County and determined it was the result of an EF-1 tornado.
Minor tree damage was observed on AL 94 and determined to be the starting point of a tornado. Several trees were uprooted along Highway 231 as the tornado continued east. An extensive amount of trees were snapped in the front yard of a home on Old Highway 231 where the greatest degree of tree damage was found, but this home was not able to be accessed due to the amount of trees covering the driveway. Other nearby homes only received minor roof or siding damage. The tornado continued east where it uprooted multiple trees on Lockheed Martin Circle and snapped a few large branches on County Road 7708 and Davis Road as it was dissipating.
The data is PRELIMINARY and may be subject to change.
