NWS Meteorologists surveyed damage east-southeast of Wetumpka in Elmore County and determined it was the result of an EF-2 tornado.
The tornado touched down on Harrogate Springs Road traveling east northeast snapping and uprooting trees. It strengthened to EF-2 as it crossed Wildwood Lane where a large swath of trees were snapped and one residence suffered significant damage. The tornado weakened before crossing Jimshill Rd and dissipated before crossing Marshell Road as no further damage was observed.
A huge thanks to ALEA for supplying us with aerial footage along the damage path.
The data is PRELIMINARY and may be subject to change.
