5 WNW Carrollton - Owens NWS meteorologists conducted a storm survey on January 6 that revealed an EF1 tornado that impacted parts of Pickens County the previous evening. The tornado began over an inaccessible area southeast of Zach Simon Road and moved east-northeastward for nearly seven miles. Along County Road 7, a house had metal roofing removed, and several pine and cedar trees were downed or had limbs broken off. The tornado was at its widest and strongest point along Pine Grove Road, where numerous trees were downed, including a stand of pine trees along the road of which approximately 15-20 trunks were snapped. Power lines were downed by falling trees. A couple uprooted pine trees fell onto a garage and the adjacent house sustained partial roof loss. More trees were uprooted and limbs were snapped as the tornado moved across a farm along McDaniel Road. The path became more narrow along McShane Road/Phoenix Avenue, where several trees were downed on both sides of the road in a 125 yard-wide swath. Along County Road 12, a few more trees and limbs were downed, and a small wooden power pole was snapped, causing the power lines to fall. Along Highway 17 near Herbert Windle Road, a couple trees were downed near a house and across the highway several cedar limbs were downed near another house. The tornado is estimated to have ended at this point. Start: 33.2937/-88.1714 End: 33.3130/-88.0542 |

3 SSW Tattlersville - 3 S Mcentyre An EF2 tornado occurred just south of Coffeeville near Tattlersville. This tornado began on the west side of the Tombigbee River based on radar observed tornado debris signature and confirmed by emergency manager. The tornado first crossed Highway 69 where ground survey crew observed scattered to numerous trees snapped or uprooted. The tornado intensified as it went northeast crossing Winn Road and Highway 84. The tornado likely peaked around Winn Road where low end EF2 tree damage with numerous snaps to hardwoods and softwoods was observed. Likely higher damage may have occurred prior to Winn road; however, survey crews were unable to reach these areas. A poorly built home collapsed upon itself at highway 84 and was given lower bound intensity given the construction quality. Surrounding tree damage also supported a lower intensity. The next road the tornado crossed was Center Point Road and Norris Road where multiple tree snaps were observed. It is probable the tornado began further southwest and continued northeast from what the current start and end points are, however, these areas were inaccessible due to limited road networks. High resolution satellite imagery and aerial photography from the emergency management will likely be used in the coming weeks to fine tune the tornado track and intensity. Start: 31.6736/-88.0884 End: 31.7668/-87.9637 |

2 SSW Vina - 4 E Vina An EF-1 tornado touched down just west of Vina Shottsville Road as identified on Worldview-3 satellite imagery. It then traveled northeastward causing major damage to the metal roof on a residence on Highway 42 along with a large uprooted tree falling onto the garage. The tornado continued northeast across Highway 172 where more tree damage was observed by EMA before also damaging a chicken house roof off of Highway 32 and minor shingle damage to the roof of a home. The track then continued northeast through mainly wooded areas where Worldview-3 imagery indicated several areas of tree damage along the path before crossing Highway 37 and lifting just west of Bear Creek. Survey photos and damage points were provided by Franklin County EMA as well as Worldview-3 satellite imagery. Timing estimated by radar. Start: 34.3509/-88.0770 End: 34.3797/-87.9794 |

1 SW Tuscumbia - Muscle Shoals NWS Huntsville and Colbert County EMA surveyed damage in the downtown Tuscumbia area consistent with EF-1 damage. The tornado touched down near the intersection of Lamar Road and Frankfort Road. The tornado caused immediate and widespread damage in neighborhoods southwest of downtown Tuscumbia. This includes roof damage to an elementary school off Glendora Avenue. Damage indicators were mostly a combination of uprooted hard and softwood trees. Numerous homes had roof damage associated with felled trees. As the tornado tracked into downtown, power lines and traffic signals were destroyed. Significant roof damage occurred near 5th and Main Streets where a metal roof was completely removed. As the tornado moved out of the downtown area, numerous trees were again uprooted along 5th and 6th Streets through Commons Street. The tornado lifted east of Commons Street before reaching Kings Avenue. A NWS Survey team found additional damage on February 18th, connecting further damage into Muscle Shoals. The tornado snapped trees before crossing George Wallace Boulevard and the Southern Railway. Additional trees were snapped or uprooted as the tornado moved northeast approaching Woodward Avenue. At this location, part of a service station canopy was removed. Fences were knocked down on adjacent streets in this area. More softwood trees were snapped or uprooted as the tornado moved through residential areas approaching Muscle Shoals High School. On school property, several trees were snapped, some near the base, but the building itself didn't sustain any damage. No damage was found northeast of Avalon Avenue. There were other sporadic trees randomly snapped south of this location along portions of Washington Drive and Colorado Avenue, but this wind damage was determined to be strong winds in the rear flank downdraft of the occluding tornadic circulation. The Northwest Alabama Regional Airport measured an 84 MPH wind gust as the tornado occluded just northwest of the airfield. Start: 34.7212/-87.7166 End: 34.7443/-87.6494 |

4 ESE Russellville - 6 SE Littleville An NWS and Franklin County (AL) EMA survey team determined that an EF-2 tornado caused damage in central Franklin County. The tornado quickly formed while embedded within the line of severe thunderstorms late Saturday night. It touched down just south of Russellville Rd. and east of Harris Creek. There the tornado blew out the doors of a large, metal storage shed and lofted an ATV across the property. The tornado shifted ENE just south of Russellville Rd. and Hwy 75 where it uprooted numerous hardwood trees, some of which fell on houses. Residents at this location received advanced NWS warnings and took refuge in their tornado shelter before their home was impacted. Several homes also experienced partial roof loss further east on Russellville Rd. The tornado shifted north Hwy 24 where the vortex contracted and strengthened. Among uprooted hardwood trees on one property, the upper quarter of a large silo collapsed. Further east, numerous trees were uprooted, some on houses and cars. Near Hwy 78 and Hwy 83 junction, a manufactured home was impacted with roof and siding damage. The resident was thankful for the early warning from the NWS as it allowed time for her family to safely seek refuge. The tornado tracked ENE of Hwy 78 and destroyed several small farm buildings before impacting homes near the McGuire Loop area. Near McGuire Loop and Rocky Glen Rd., the tornado knocked down numerous power lines in trees before completely removing the roof of one single-family residence. This is where the strongest intensity of the tornado likely occurred with a maximum wind of 115 miles an hour. The tornado traveled to the NE portion of McGuire Loop where pine trees were snapped. The tornado lifted west of Hwy 87. Start: 34.4791/-87.6587 End: 34.5136/-87.6082 |

3 WSW Killen - 3 WNW Rogersville An NWS survey team, with assistance from Lauderdale County EMA, surveyed damage in southern Lauderdale County, near Wilson Lake, which was consistent with an EF-1 tornado. Maximum winds were 94 MPH. The tornado initially touched down in the vicinity of Myrtle Road (in the Kendale Gardens subdivision) where it produced the only structural damage observed by the survey team. This structural damage was due to a large, uprooted hardwood tree falling into the front portion of a residence. The tornado then traveled eastward, crossing the mouth of Shoal Creek and far northern extent of Wilson Lake before moving back onshore and producing tree damage along the southern portion of Lingerlost Road. Afterwards, the tornado moved generally eastward across rural portions of southern Lauderdale County (north of Wilson Lake and south of U.S. Highway 72), producing clusters of tree damage on Lauderdale C.R. 31 and in the general vicinity of the intersection of Lauderdale C.R. 33 and Walnut Creek Road. From this point, the tornado headed east-northeastward, crossing Bluewater Creek and producing sporadic tree damage in Elgin and along the western shore of Second Creek. The tornado lifted along Lauderdale C.R. 53 (north of Thorntontown), where tree damage was also observed. Start: 34.8410/-87.5765 End: 34.8441/-87.3441 |

Rogersville This damage survey began on Wheeler St. (AL Hwy 207) in Rogersville, which coincided with the southwestern-most damage point. In the general vicinity, several businesses experienced minor damage to awnings, the tin top of a business roof was removed (and blown north) but the main portion of the roof remained, and a business on Church Street had windows blown out. From here, going northeastward to College St. we observed significant tree damage. We noticed that one large pine tree fell toward the east, while an adjacent (but severely hallowed-out) oak tree fell toward the northeast. Thus, we suspect this may have been where a small tornado initiated. A resident at this location did receive warning from NWS Huntsville and made the decision to seek shelter. Traveling northeastward from here was Macke Rd., where there was continued evidence of a small tornado. At this location, we noticed one uprooted hardwood and one uprooted softwood tree lying in a convergent pattern, and also were informed that power lines and poles had been blown down, but were recently repaired. A resident at this location did receive warning from NWS Huntsville and was very thankful for the advance notice. The maximum width of the tornado is assumed to have been at this point. Greer Dr. represents the northeastern-most damage point and end point of the tornado. At this location, a large hardwood tree was uprooted and fell on a residence, causing damage to the roof in a few locations. On the way to Greer Dr., there were several snapped softwood trees and uprooted hardwood trees (aligned in the same direction) along Hudson St. and between Warren St. and Weaver Dr. This tree damage was likely associated with RFD flow immediately south of the tornado. Start: 34.8259/-87.2898 End: 34.8293/-87.2845 |

1 WSW Moundville - Moundville A National Weather Service damage survey in Moundville revealed an EF-0 tornado that occurred early on February 16. The tornado began in a wooded area near Green Ridge Rd and moved east-northeastward. Along Power Loop Rd, several pine trees had tops snapped off and large limbs broken. A few other pines were uprooted near a residence, and a barn sustained roof damage. A large tree fell on the backside of a house at 2nd Ave and Maple Leaf Lane, causing significant damage and resulting in an injury. Between Maple Leaf Lane and Jamestown Circle, several tree limbs were snapped and a trampoline was flipped. Tree damage continued through another wooded area to just west of the Hale County High School football field, where the path appeared to end just west of Highway 69. Start: 32.9881/-87.6541 End: 32.9912/-87.6265 |

4 S Cedarville - 4 SW Marion National Weather Service Meteorologists surveyed damage in southern Hale and Perry Counties and determined that the damage was consistent with a tornado. The start of the tornado was estimated to be just west of Alabama Highway 69, where tree damage was observed in an inaccessible area. The tornado continued eastward, moving parallel to County Road 10. Along the roadway, numerous trees were snapped or uprooted, along with at least 40 to 50 power poles snapped. A site built home sustained roof damage along with farm outbuildings that sustained significant damage. The tornado gained strength as it moved east of Alabama Highway 25, where EF-1 damage occurred. Multiple manufactured homes were severely damaged due to large trees falling on top of them, while another manufactured home was destroyed due to tornadic wind gusts estimated around 95mph. Residents who were inside the homes received the tornado warning on their mobile phones, and were able to quickly take as much shelter as they could. A mother and her two kids in one home took shelter in their bathtub, which ended up being the only room in the home that did not sustain major damage. 2 injuries occurred where the homes were damaged, and the maximum width was estimated to be 200 yards at this location. The tornado continued eastward and crossed Alabama Highway 61 into Perry County. Minor tree damage was noted along Jenkins Bryant Rd, and farm outbuildings sustained major damage along Perry County Rd 23. The tornado lifted along Lakeland Farm Rd, and no further damage was noted to the east. Start: 32.5582/-87.6852 End: 32.5918/-87.3753 |

3 SSE Douglas The tornado rapidly developed along a line of severe storms entering Southwestern Marshall County, first producing damage by snapping several softwood trees along Mount Hebron Road. The tornado continued along this road as it approached Mount Hebron Douglas Road, snapping large softwood branches along its path. The most concentrated damage occurred just northeast of the intersection with Mount Hebron Douglas Road, where several farm outbuildings and barns were destroyed. This was at and immediately east of the intersection with New Clear Creek Road. Here, a power pole was snapped about 5 to 7 feet from the top of the pole. Also at this location, a cattle trailer was overturned and moved several feet. A well-built farm outbuilding suffered collapsed walls here at this location, and the combination of this and the power pole led to the strongest point in this short- lived tornado: 100mph winds and 30 yards in width. The tornado continued northeast of this location to the farm next door, destroying a small hay barn and another farm outbuilding across the street. This particular building had a covered overhang and was open on the end where the tornado approached, which contributed to it's failing here. For this reason, the wind speeds were lower than at the adjacent farm to the southwest. No further damage was noted northeast of this hay barn location between here and Chestnut Drive. Other damage was noted in the vicinity of Mount Hebron Road to the north and the south, which was mainly large branches blown down or sporadic trees here and there that were broken. This was determined to be related to straight-line winds from the line of storms, as all damage was noted to be laying in the same direction and not convergent in nature. Start: 34.1330/-86.3162 End: 34.1360/-86.3035 |

1 N Unity - 3 SW Parkdale The National Weather Service surveyed in northern Coosa County and determined the damage to be consistent with an EF-0 tornado. The tornado initially touched down along County Road 55, where a few softwood trees were downed. The tornado caused significant tree damage across a wooded area east of CR 55, with many uprooted trees. Along Prater Rd, several softwood trees sustained minor damage. From there, the tornado tracked east-northeast crossing County Road 29, just north of the Weogufka Family Worship Center. Here, several softwood trees were uprooted along with several homes that received minor damage. The tornado continued crossing County Road 41 where additional trees were uprooted and power lines were damaged due to the tree fall. The tornado then crossed Hwy 231 and 280, where softwood trees were both uprooted and snapped, and some additional tin shed damage was noted. Start: 33.0251/-86.3541 End: 33.0701/-86.1518 |

3 SSW Still Waters Resort - 3 SSE Still Waters Resort National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in southern Tallapoosa County and determined that a brief EF-1 tornado occurred within a broad area of straight line wind damage. Additional information was provided by a private property owner as well as satellite analysis for areas that were not accessible by roads. The tornado touched down in a remote area over private property east of Lovelady Road and south of AL Hwy 50. Approximately halfway between Lovelady Road and Barnesville Loop, an area of significant tree damage including multiple snapped and uprooted pines produced a TDS on KMXX radar. The tornado continued northeastward to Barnesville Loop, where another area of concentrated tree damage consisted of multiple snapped and uprooted trees. At this point, the tornado interacted with a second circulation that was accelerating in from the northwest, and the path of the tornado turned right as the two circulations interacted. While there was minimal damage along the eastern portion of Barnesville Loop, the circulation re- intensified as it crossed Murphy Dam Road and Murphy Lake. A tree was blown on to a home on East Murphy Lane. From there, the continuing TDS intensified over an area inaccessible to the NWS survey team, and satellite data is inconclusive with regards to tree damage any farther to the east. The tornado dissipated somewhere between East Murphy Lane and AL Highway 49 over private property. Start: 32.6931/-85.8422 End: 32.6982/-85.8132 |

4 NNE Cecil - 3 NE Cross Keys National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in Macon County and determined that an EF-1 tornado occurred to the north of straight line wind damage within a bowing segment. The tornado began just east of the Macon/Montgomery county line, where a couple pines were snapped along Barganier Road. It continued moving eastward, reaching its peak intensity along County Road 2 and Keys Court where numerous hardwoods were snapped and uprooted a couple hundred yards south of the road. Several homes and outbuildings suffered roof damage as it paralleled County Road 20, before the tornado dissipated as it crossed County Road 13. Start: 32.3484/-85.9745 End: 32.3552/-85.8473 |

2 SW Lexington - 1 SE Lexington The Lexington Tornado touched down on County Line Road 71 in a field then tracked northeast. It hit an older two-car garage and shifted it 2-3 inches from its foundation as well as damaged the back half of the roof, but also snapped and uprooted a few large, hardwood cedar trees. A small camper was also pushed into an adjacent truck. The tornado continued northeast and downed and uprooted numerous additional trees (both hardwood and softwood), also damaging a fence. The tornado then uprooted and snapped more trees, with these pointing in various directions, as it progressed northeast. An outdoor, open-aired metal shed was demolished with its contents strewn across the yard as well as debris scattered across the residence and into the adjacent one. Across the street were more downed trees, snapped limbs, and uprooted trees, with another outdoor shed that had posts concreted into the ground, collapsed. Trees caused roof damage to a home at this point and damaged a vehicle next to it. As the tornado persisted, it continued to snap trees and tree limbs, while uprooting numerous other trees until it lifted just across County Road 51. Lauderdale County EMA utilized their drone to discover that the tornado started in the aforementioned field before it hit the two- car garage and snapped the cedar trees. More downed trees were also discovered via this drone footage around the midpoint of the track. Special thanks to Lauderdale County EMA for their assistance with this survey!

2 SSE Pleasant Ridge - 3 NW Elrod National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage associated with a tornado in Greene, Pickens, and Tuscaloosa counties that began around 3:08 PM on March 15, 2025. The tornado began on the south side of Highway 14 in Greene County, then moved northeastward and crossed County Road 161 near Lewiston. The tornado intensified as it approached County Road 60 where it briefly reached its maximum intensity of 90 mph. Several trees were snapped, with a few falling into an older mobile home. The tornado then paralleled County Road 183 northeastward where several trees were uprooted or snapped along or just east of the county road. The tornado weakened as it crossed County Road 156 and the Pickens County line. It continued north-northeastward and re-intensified in a wooded area east of Benevola Road. Numerous snapped trees were observed along an unnamed dirt road. More trees were uprooted or snapped along Lum Fife Road before the tornado eventually crossed Highway 82 near Holman. Several trees were downed along Highway 82 near Minas Road before the tornado weakened on the north side of Highway 82 in Tuscaloosa County. It lifted along and just west of Lee Bonner Road, where a few more trees were uprooted. Start: 32.9887/-88.0700 End: 33.3007/-87.8210 |

2 S Windham Springs - 3 NNW Empire The tornado first touched down just west of CR 69 in the Windham Springs community. Here a few softwood trees sustained damage. The tornado tracked northeast across approximately five miles of inaccessible wooded areas before crossing Goodwater Road. Here large tree branches were broken, a few trees were uprooted, and a small farm building sustained damage. Minor and sporadic tree damage continued across far northeast Tuscaloosa County with uprooted trees along Blackburn Road. The tornado crossed into Walker County with notable damage in the CR 6 / Tutwiler Road area. Here, large trees were uprooted and/or snapped. Several homes sustained roof damage and at least one home had some windows blown out. Additional damage occurred along Bruner Hill Road and Bruner Lane. The tornado then tracked through the Pleasant Field and Bradleytown communities with mainly tree damage. A few power lines were also noted down in these areas. The tornado crossed I-22 with a few trees down along CR 22 on the south side of Cordova. The tornado damage became more pronounced and consistent as it tracked toward the Argo community. Widespread tree damage was noted along Highway 78 with many trees snapped or uprooted. Minor structural damage occurred to a couple of homes along Mathas Creek Road. The residents of these homes mentioned getting the warning and sheltering before the tornado hit. The tornado began to widen as it crossed the Mulberry Fork and moved into Sipsey. Widespread tree damage was noted in Sipsey, with many trees snapped. Multiple structures in downtown Sipsey also sustained damage. Several homes sustained roof damage with a few having their windows blown out. An anchored mobile home was overturned and destroyed. The tornado was likely at its widest here with a width of approximately 1,000 yards. The tornado then tracked northeast along Campbellville Road and the Sipsey Fork River into the Campbellville community. Large swaths of softwood trees were snapped or uprooted in this area. In addition, several conventional homes sustained notable structural damage. At least three homes had significant roof and siding damage with uplift and partial roof loss. One two-story home here lost a significant portion of the roof, second floor, and back of the home. The family here reported getting the warning and sheltering in their downstairs basement with the pets. A significant number of softwood and hardwood trees were also snapped in this area. Due to this, the maximum rating of EF- 2 /120 mph was estimated in this location. Further north, the tornado began to narrow and slowly wind down with sporadic tree damage noted along Campbellville Road. With the aid of satellite data, it was determined that the tornado lifted just south of the Cullman County line near the Mulberry Fork. Start: 33.4571/-87.5051 End: 33.8554/-87.0311 |

1 W Johnston Lake - 3 SE Lubbub National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage associated with a tornado in Pickens County that began around 4:32 PM on March 15, 2025. The tornado began in a wooded area north of County Road 2, then moved northeastward across Houston Windle Road near New Salem Missionary Baptist Church. The tornado began to intensify as it moved northeastward, reaching EF- 1 strength as it crossed Ray Bass Road where numerous snapped trees were observed. The tornado continued to intensify, reaching EF-2 strength with maximum winds around 115 mph as it crossed Ebenezer Church Road. It likely maintained this strength as it continued northeastward, crossing Highway 86 where widespread tree damage was noted. As the tornado moved into the Bostic community, it destroyed several chicken houses on Russell Farm Road. One residence on Russell Farm Road sustained significant roof damage, and one manufactured home to the north of Russell Farm Road was lifted and displaced. Auger anchoring systems were pulled from the ground, and the home was severely damaged. However, the frame was largely intact. The tornado then crossed Highway 82 on the west side of Gordo. A home sustained substantial damage to the roof along Highway 159 near the intersection of County Road 88. There were also numerous uprooted and snapped trees observed around these locations. The tornado then tracked on the north side of County Road 88, destroying several more chicken houses before weakening as it reached Fair Road, where another home sustained partial roof damage. The tornado eventually lifted northeast of Zion Road near the Tuscaloosa County line. Start: 33.1499/-88.0569 End: 33.4008/-87.8387 |

4 E Old Mallard Airport - 4 NW Lilita The tornado began in a densely wooded area east of Loon Curl Road within a private hunting camp. It tracked northeast towards County Road 13, crossing through and destroying several pine groves along its path. In the area of most intense damage, a pine grove featured hundreds of snapped trees along a width of roughly 500 yards. The EF2 rating was determined strictly from this area of concentrated tree damage. The tornado began to weaken as it crossed County Road 13 just south of Alamuchee Creek, where multiple softwood trees were uprooted and a few were snapped. It continued northeast where it then crossed a dirt road just east of County Road 13 where it produced sporadic tree damage. The tornado dissipated shortly thereafter.

1 N Minooka Park - 2 E Shelby County Airport The tornado began near the Chilton/Shelby County line in South Calera and moved northward into downtown Calera, where mostly tree damage was noted. There were several mobile/manufactured homes damaged on 13th Street as the tornado paralleled US Highway 31 before crossing Interstate 65, where several campers at a dealership were rolled and/or tossed. Numerous snapped trees were noted at this location as well. The tornado made a left turn over Limestone Parkway and moved north-northwest over a shopping center just east of the intersection of US 31 and AL Highway 70. Thereafter, the tornado moved into the "cone of silence" of the KBMX RADAR near the O`Neal Quarry office, where many trees were snapped and uprooted. After speaking with Lhoist quarry officials, no damage was reported at the quarry, and the end of the tornado was placed just to the north of Oak Tree Lane, where a few trees were downed and metal farm buildings sustained minor roof damage. Maximum winds were estimated to be around 90 mph at both the mobile home neighborhood and the camper dealership. Start: 33.0660/-86.7608 End: 33.1713/-86.7508 |

3 ENE Citronelle - 1 ENE Chestang The tornado touched down along County Road 96 near Meinhardt Loop Road West, where a few trees had their tops snapped. The tornado continued to the northeast into an area that ground survey crews could not get to between the start point and Sam Lewis Road. This stretch was likely where the tornado peaked in intensity as Sentinel 2 satellite imagery depicted substantial damage to several segments of the forest likely in the form of tree snaps and uproots. Once higher resolution imagery becomes available the tornado intensity can be reassessed. It is also in this stretch the tornado peaked in width reaching close to 200 yards wide. The tornado weakened based on satellite imagery and ground survey crew as the tornado crossed Sam Lewis Road where a metal outbuilding lost its roof and had its walls collapsed inward. No other damage was observed in this location, leading to a lower rating at this location. The tornado continued to the northeast, crossing into Washington County, where more trees were damaged along the path seen via Sentinel 2 satellite imagery. The tornado appears to have lifted west of Sandy Ridge Road based on available satellite imagery. Further adjustments in track length, width, and intensity are likely in the coming days or weeks as higher resolution satellite imagery becomes available. Utilized imagery and derived products made available through the NASA Commercial Satellite Data Acquisition (CSDA) Program, NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, and the NASA Disasters Program.

Winterboro - 3 NNE Winterboro National Weather Service Meteorologists surveyed damage in the town of Winterboro and just to the northeast and determined that the damage was consistent with a tornado. The tornado touched down just to the southwest of Winterboro High School, damaging the football press box and surrounding baseball and softball fields. The tornado quickly intensified as it reached the Old Winterboro High School building, lifting a school bus onto the side of the gymnasium. The gymnasium sustained significant damage, with walls mostly collapsed on more than one side. Winds were estimated to be around 120 mph at this location, where wooden power poles were also snapped. Debris from the collapsed gymnasium was blown across State Highway 76, and the old school building also sustained roof damage. The tornado continued to the northeast, where numerous trees were snapped and uprooted and homes sustained damage due to falling trees at the intersection of Highway 76 and 21. As the tornado moved parallel to Bob White Road, it maintained EF-2 intensity along the roadway and destroyed a single-wide manufactured home. The debris from the home was blown westward across Bob White Road. One fatality occurred at this location. Outside of the peak intensity of the tornado, some homes and farm outbuildings sustained roof damage on the far eastern edge of the path on Bob White Road. The tornado continued northeastward, weakening as it crossed Bullocks Ferry Road and finally lifting just to the northeast of Whiting Road and Lawler Circle. The tornado totaled 3.63 miles and had an estimated width of 500 yards. Start: 33.3194/-86.2005 End: 33.3603/-86.1623 |

1 NNW Valley Creek Junction - 1 WSW Clanton The tornado formed and intensified quickly about two miles south of Plantersville along County Road 63, uprooting swaths of trees right from the start. The tornado travelled northward into Plantersville and intensified to its maximum intensity of a 140 MPH EF3 tornado in the south end of town, where trees across the entire area were uprooted, snapped, and even debarked. Several homes and businesses were destroyed, which unfortunately resulted in two fatalities and two injuries. The tornado began a more northeasterly trajectory as it left Plantersville, but still remained strong as it crossed into Autauga County. Entire swaths of hardwood trees were uprooted and snapped, and estimates were given the maximum rating possible for tree fall/tree snap at 134 MPH. Had there been other damage indicators impacted, it is quite likely that portions in Autauga would also have been rated at the EF3 level. The tornado continued northeastward into Chilton County. As it approached County Road 64, it broadened out and produced another area of maximum value tree snaps, where acres and acres of pine trees were snapped at 10 to 20 feet above the ground. It next crossed US Highway 82, where two manufactured homes had anchoring system failures and were vaulted and completely destroyed, landing some 200 yards from their original location. All the occupants were sheltered in a concrete shelter and came through the storm physically unscathed. As the tornado crossed Chilton CR 17, a well-built brick home had its roof completely removed with some exterior wall failure. Again, the occupant had made the conscious decision to shelter elsewhere with family members in a basement. EF2-level damage occurred as the tornado crossed CR 15 and CR 341. As the tornado crossed CR 76, a well-built home suffered damage when doors on the main level were blown open, with the force of the breach causing windows in an upper-level bedroom to blow out. A double wide manufactured home at the back of the property was vaulted and destroyed. From here, the tornado took a more easterly trajectory and began to gradually weaken, causing mainly tree damage as it crossed south central Chilton County, before dissipating in the West End portion of the city of Clanton. Start: 32.5971/-86.9377 End: 32.8339/-86.6501 |

3 S Choctaw Bluff - 2 SSE Gainestown An EF0 tornado began near Choctaw bluff tracking northeast tracking along the Alabama River. Sentinel and Planet satellite imagery revealed a narrow discontinuous path of tree damage, likely in the form of tree top snaps and/or uproots. This path tracks into the one building that sustained damage east of Walker Springs Road where some of the metal roofing material was removed towards the northwest. The tornado becomes untraceable after this point from satellite imagery, and will serve as the end point. Utilized imagery and derived products made available through the NASA Commercial Satellite Data Acquisition (CSDA) Program, NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, and the NASA Disasters Program.

2 NW Dollar - 3 ESE Weogufka National Weather Service Meteorologists surveyed damage in rural southwestern Coosa County and determined that the damage was consistent with a tornado. The tornado began over the Coosa Wildlife Management area in extreme southwestern Coosa County, just east of the Coosa River based on satellite imagery. Unfortunately, that area of the county was not accessible by the survey crew. The first area of damage that was accessible occurred just southwest of County Road 15, where numerous trees were snapped and uprooted. The tornado continued northeast, crossing CC Camp Road, where weak tree damage was noted. The tornado intensified as it moved northeast and crossed County Road 29. The most extensive damage was found at this location, where numerous trees were snapped and a double-wide manufactured home was destroyed. No anchors were found where the manufactured home originally stood. Farm outbuildings at the same residence were also destroyed, along with roof damage to surrounding homes. Winds were estimated at 110 mph at this location. Although difficult to access, EF-0 and EF-1 tree damage was noted farther to the northeast along County Roads 56 and 18. With areas farther northeast inaccessible and no damage noted along US Highway 231, the end point was estimated just beyond County Road 18. Start: 32.9090/-86.4495 End: 32.9973/-86.2715 |

3 NNW Dare Park - 1 NNE Daviston National Weather Service Meteorologists surveyed damage in Tallapoosa County and determined that the damage was consistent with a tornado. The tornado quickly touched down near Russell Ferry Estates, crossing County Road 40 and passing over Midway Estates Road. Extensive EF-0 tree damage was observed in this area. Some trees fell on homes, where roof damage was sustained. As the tornado crossed US Highway 280, minor damage occurred to some metal buildings of businesses, and numerous trees were snapped or uprooted. Farther to the northeast, extensive tree damage was noted on Abbett Drive, with concentrated tree damage occurring on Camp Ascca Road. A manufactured home sustained roof and underpinning damage close by, but remained anchored despite witnesses mentioning that the home almost lifted off the ground. Just 50 to 75 yards to the west of the home, extensive EF-2 tree damage was observed. The tornado intensified as it almost paralleled Rock Springs Road, where a single-wide manufactured home was destroyed and debris blown 50 to 75 yards away. Winds were estimated at 120 mph at this location. The most extensive tornado damage occurred on McBride Loop just off Rock Springs Road, where countless numbers of large trees were snapped and uprooted next to a small lake. In this same location, a single- wide manufactured home was destroyed, with debris from the home blown 50 to 75 yards to the northeast. Thankfully, the resident of the home was not present and had decided to stay at a local community storm shelter the night of the event. Winds were also estimated at 120 mph in this area. Notably, several other homes located along McBride Loop were left mostly unscathed, and those that did sustain damage were due to fallen trees. The tornado continued northeastward at EF-2 intensity as it crossed over Rock Springs Road once again, then followed Horseshoe Bend Road to the Tallapoosa River. From there, the tornado moved across Horseshoe Bend National Military Park. After contacting the acting Park Superintendent, valuable information and photos were provided that indicated extensive EF-2 tree damage on the southwestern and northeastern side of the park property. Near the battlefield site, numerous trees were snapped and uprooted, extensively blocking the Loop Tour Road and causing damage to outbuildings and an exhibit pavilion. The tree damage on the northeast side of the park property was very extensive, with countless trees snapped. Where highest winds occurred, very few trees were left standing. A wooded area south of County Road 79 and north of the Tallapoosa River was revisited days later in a follow-up survey with park employees, with a massive amount of timber damage being documented. The tornado was at its strongest in this area, and the tree damage was rated EF-3 / 140 mph based on a 500 to 600 yard wide area of snapped pines and hardwoods with several debarked. The tornado continued northeastward crossing County Road 79 multiple times and moving through the Daviston community with EF-0 and EF-1 tree damage noted along the way. A couple barns or outbuildings were heavily damaged along County Road 79 as well. Finally, the tornado moved along Motley Road and Lil Beaver Road before finally lifting. No damage was found farther northeast along Cotney Road. The NWS would like to thank Tallapoosa County EMA and National Park Service employees for their assistance in conducting this survey and providing additional information.

2 SW Mossy Grove - 1 WSW Perote The tornado first touched down on Pike County Road 2228 south of Troy and west of AL Highway 87, where a few branches were broken from several trees in the area. It travelled northeastward, crossing Pike County Lake Road and then AL Highway 87. As it approached Enzor Road, it caused significant roof damage to the Troy Parks and Recreation building, as well as the softball fields at Troy Sportsplex. The tornado began to intensify to EF1 strength as it approached US Highway 231, causing significant tree damage, with numerous trees snapped or uprooted, as well as significant damage to a service station canopy. It continued to intensify and cause widespread tree damage as it moved up the Walnut Creek. The tornado gained its maximum strength at 130 MPH as it approached Elm Street Road, where one home received major damage and was rendered uninhabitable. Several other homes received indirect damage from tree fall in the area, where barely a single tree was left standing. The tornado remained intense as it crossed Butter and Egg Road, causing widespread tree damage. The tornado veered slightly eastward and moved into Banks, where widespread tree damage continued, and a metal building received significant damage as well. Continuing to the northeast, the tornado began to gradually weaken in eastern Pike County, primarily causing more sporadic, less intense tree damage and minor damage to structures. As the tornado crossed into southern Bullock County, it continued to narrow and weaken until ending at Bullock County Road 8 west of Perote. Start: 31.7383/-85.9805 End: 31.9491/-85.7230 |

The tornado initially touched down near Rimson Rd. and then travelled east northeast along Southland Dr. Damage began to become less scattered as the tornado crossed South Bell Dr., continuing to snap and uproot trees, a few of which fell on homes. The tornado then entered a business district where it did substantial damage to the Dothan Preparatory Academy. Several sections of the roof were removed and several windows were broken. Unfortunately, a few students suffered minor injuries when a portion of the gymnasium s roof was removed. Some of the roof was found blocks away. The tornado was at its widest after crossing U.S. 231. Several small businesses and a warehouse had windows blown out and sections of their roofs removed. There were also several power poles snapped in this vicinity. The tornado then proceeded east northeast through residential neighborhoods, snapping and uprooting trees. Once again, some fell on houses and one crushed a car. The track went down Chalker St. and then along or north of East Selma St. The tornado damaged the roof of a doctor s office on Haven Dr. and then uprooted a few trees before lifting just shy of Southeast Alabama Medical Center.

3 E Glen MS - 2 E Walnut Grove TN The tornado touched down just NE of the Alcorn County Road Maintenance Facility on County Road 306. Here, the tornado snapped and uprooted several trees behind residences along the road. One home here did sustain moderate damage due to a tree falling on it, but this was the only structural damage noted along County Road 306. The tornado continued through a wooded area approaching Hwy 72, crossing just west of the Glen Town Hall. The Glendale Elementary School sustained minor damage to the roof (less than 20%) and several trees were uprooted here. The tornado weakened after this point and sporadic tree damage was noted throughout a wooded area to the northeast between County Road 248 and County Road 260. Satellite NVDI analysis was able to connect this tornado path with the track that picks up at Yellow Creek. Damage to tree limbs and a few uprooted trees was noted along County Road 280. The tornado progressed to the northeast, crossing Highway 25 and entering JP Coleman State Park. Snapped limbs and uprooted small trees were noted along a narrow path as the tornado approached the Tennessee River. The tornado then entered Lauderdale County, AL where it intensified into an EF-1. Drone imagery courtesy of Lauderdale County EMA showed large swaths of tree damage through far northwestern Lauderdale County, typically not accessible through traditional road networks. The damage continued along portions of County Road 3, at which point it was at its widest. As the tornado tracked toward the Tennessee state line, it was still uprooting and snapping several large trees. Fortunately, no structures were in the path of the tornado so no structural damage was assessed on this survey. Additional areas of tree damage were noted across the state line into Hardin County, Tennessee. Subsequent damage surveys and supplementary satellite imagery will help determine an accurate endpoint of the tornado after it extended into Tennessee. Thank you to Lauderdale County EMA and Tishomingo County EMA for their help. Start: 34.8603/-88.4400 End: 35.0517/-88.0083 |

6 WSW Tuscumbia - 1 NE Sheffield A joint damage assessment conducted by the National Weather Service in Huntsville and the Colbert County Emergency Management Agency determined that damage in northern Colbert County, near Sheffield, AL, was caused by an EF-1 tornado with estimated maximum winds of 90 mph. The tornado developed from a large parent circulation within a transitioning super cell cluster. It initially touched down near Pride, AL, where numerous trees were damaged or uprooted, and a small farm building sustained minor roof damage. The tornado continued eastward across Little Bear Creek, where widespread tree damage was observed, including several instances where falling trees caused structural damage to single-family homes. The survey team tracked the tornado as it moved through Sheffield, where additional tree damage was noted. The tornado ultimately lifted just west of Highway 43.

4 WSW Tuscumbia - 4 NW Rogersville An NWS Storm survey conducted in conjunction with Colbert County Emergency Management identified a tornado track originating from the same parent circulation of the Sheffield Tornado, impacting areas of Tuscumbia and Muscle Shoals, located south of the Sheffield tornado track. The tornado likely touched down just south of Highway 72 near Hawk Pride Mountain Road before crossing the highway and tracking along County Road 24 into southern Tuscumbia. Most damage indicators consisted of uprooted trees; however, one location featured a snapped hardwood trunk, supporting the peak wind estimate of 105 mph. The tornado continued east into Muscle Shoals, where it caused significant damage in the Holiday Trailer Park area. Several large hardwood trees were uprooted and fell onto residential units, resulting in five reported injuries. The tornado tracked just north of Northwest Alabama Regional Airport turning northward and passing through Ford City and eventually across Wilson Lake. Damage was primarily to trees with several uprooted trees, split trees, and large limbs downed in this area. Tornado damage picked up again on the other side of Wilson Lake, in Lauderdale County, in the Aqua Vista community with several trees uprooted and large limbs snapped. The tornado tracked to the east-northeast along a supercell cluster that was transitioning into a bowing segment. Drone imagery courtesy of Lauderdale County EMA supplemented the ground survey for areas inaccessible by roads. With this data, it was determined that the tornado then tracked north of County Road 31 where several more trees were uprooted before impacting a neighborhood off of Bull Run road. There, several houses were missing shingles and large portions of fencing. Outdoor sheds had a collapse of most walls and tree damage was also present. The tornado then crossed County Road 33, snapping and uprooting more hardwood trees, and then crossed Highway 72 just southeast of Elgin, AL. Drone imagery helped show areas of trees uprooted or with large areas of limbs snapped as the tornado crossed Second Creek before lifting just south of Toonersville, where damage to the tree canopy was noted, indicating that the tornado lifted. Thank you to Lauderdale County EMA and Colbert County EMA for their assistance with these surveys. Start: 34.7099/-87.7779 End: 34.8612/-87.3342 |

4 E Killen - 5 WNW Rogersville Thanks to aerial UAV/drone data provided by Lauderdale County EMA, the National Weather Service in Huntsville was able to confirm an EF-1 tornado track from the Center Star area to near Pine Haven Shores, with estimated maximum winds of 90 mph.The damage path likely began near County Road 107 and tracked east- southeast through the Bluewater Creek area. Numerous hardwood trees were uprooted, and a farm shed sustained roof damage near County Road 33. Additional uprooted trees were observed east of Bluewater Creek, extending through the intersection of Highway 101 and Highway 72. Sparse damage was noted north of Highway 72, approaching the Pine Haven Shores area, where the tornado likely lifted. Start: 34.8572/-87.4601 End: 34.8564/-87.3635 |

4 W Langston - 3 W Langston The tornado developed over the river in the waterway west of Holiday Shores Drive in Marshall County. The first-observed damage was a swath of softwood trees along the shore. Here, the trees were snapped and uprooted, and it was at this point that the brief tornado was the widest: 175 yards. Also at this location, several trees were uprooted on the shore just north, where a single boat-slip house was destroyed. Damage on the northern fringe of the tornado was estimated at 85-90mph. Further inland, numerous uprooted and snapped softwood trees were also surveyed having fallen on a few homes. Thankfully, no injuries occurred as several people the survey team spoke with did receive the tornado warning and took shelter. As the tornado traversed this peninsula, it encountered elevation changes in the area and this further weakened the tornado as it moved to McCamy Road. Here, very sporadic tree damage was noted. A bradford pear tree was uprooted and several other large branches were downed here. The weakening tornado continued moving eastward through a wooded area and back out onto open water on the Tennessee River where it lifted. There were a couple of trees that were downed across the waterway on the shore west of Langston, but these were determined to be diseased/dead, and were therefore deemed thunderstorm wind damage points there. No further damage was noted with this path, or just northeast in Section, per Marshall and Jackson County EMA. Special thanks to both Marshall and Jackson County EMAs for their assistance on the storm survey today. Start: 34.5336/-86.1605 End: 34.5356/-86.1427 |

3 W Yantley - 1 NW Yantley This tornado is a continuation of an EF2 tornado that began in Lauderdale County Mississippi. The tornado continued into Choctaw County Alabama producing EF-0 damage as it crossed Concord Rd in two separate places before dissipating. This track added 2.25 miles to the total track length of roughly 5.25 miles. The peak intensity in this segment was 75 mph. Thank you to the National Weather Service Office in Jackson Mississippi for performing the survey. Start: 32.2565/.88.4279 End: 32.2618/.88.3900 |

1 NNE Pine Hill - 2 SSE Kimbrough The tornado began in the woods behind the intersection of Old Selma Rd and Highway 5 where it resulted in snaps of large hardwood limbs and some uprooted small trees. An unattached awning to a gas station was lofted and tossed about 50 yards into a tree. This awning was closer to a carport and thus damage was deemed on lower bound. The tornado continued across Highway 5 resulting in roof damage to a restaurant and continued tree damage with uprooted and some snapped hardwood trees. The tornado continued across Highway 10, producing tree damage. The most significant damage occurred as the tornado crossed Sandpit Rd. Numerous uprooted and snapped large hardwood and softwood trees occurred at this location. Some patches were rather significant snapping; however, just not enough to warrant a higher rating. A single wide manufactured home was rolled at this location; however, the home was not tied down and sitting on the side of the hill. As a result a lower bound estimate was given for this damage. The tornado likely continued northeast into the woods where survey crews were unable to reach. After review of available Sentinel satellite imagery, the tornado track was determined to have continued northeast, likely lifting just prior to crossing the Southern Railroad east of Gwen Road.

4 SW Tyler - 3 WSW Tyler This comma-head tornado touched down on the southern edge of an open field off of Dallas County Road 143, just north of Sixmile Creek. There were a few large pine limbs snapped at this location, while to the north side of this open field it caused more significant tree damage with a few trees snapped or uprooted. It moved north-northeastward, intensifying and growing quickly before reaching its maximum intensity of a 400-yard-wide 95 MPH EF-1 as it crossed CR 405. A van and a truck were overturned in a church parking lot, with the truck tumbling about 50 feet and the van tumbling into, but not snapping a power pole. The tornado continued to uproot and snap trees as it moved northward for several hundred yards, but then began to lose strength just as quickly as it had intensified. The tornado weakened as it curled under the comma-head and dissipated along CR 37 just north of Gibbs Rd. Start: 32.2907/-86.9572 End: 32.3086/-86.9496 |

3 NE Pisgah - 4 SSW Rising Fawn The tornado touched down west of County Road 126 in a grove of trees, producing widespread hard and softwood tree damage here. At this point, the tornado became its widest as it crossed County Road 126, with an estimate of 80 yards wide. Here, the tornado was at its strongest, producing 100mph winds consistent with an EF1 tornado. It continued snapping trees as it crossed County Road 126, moving eastward across a field approaching county Road 360. Along these locations, several hard and soft wood trees were snapped or uprooted, and several large branches were downed. The tornado continued, pushing east across Bowman branch, uprooting and snapping more trees along county Road 361 west of the Rosalie Fire Department. It was at this location where video evidence was shared via EMA that showed the tornado causing minor structural damage to the fire department. At this location, the tornado produced EF1 tornado damage with with 90mph winds. The tornado continued skipping to the east toward Sulphur Springs, producing sporadic tree damage as it crossed Ider. The last known damage point was uprooted trees at the Alabama Welcome Center off Interstate 59. No additional damage was noted as survey crews crossed into NW Georgia beyond this point. Special thanks to Jackson County EMA and the Rosalie Fire Department Chief for their assistance in today's survey. Start: 34.7098/-85.7943 End: 34.7089/-85.5605 |

5 NNW Griffen Mill - 4 WNW Bleecker A weak EF0 tornado embedded in a line of severe thunderstorms occurred in the Salem area on the evening of May 3. The tornado began over a wooded area east of Lee Road 151, northeast of the NCAT Test Track. The start point was estimated using radar data as the area was inaccessible by roads. Moving slightly south of due east, the tornado passed just north of Lee Road 2119, where a few small trees or limbs were snapped on Lee Road 187. By this point a Tornado Debris Signature (TDS) was evident on radar. On Lee Road 749, a few small pine trees had the tops snapped or limbs snapped off. Little damage was noted across Highway 280 near Dudley Lumber, but more significant tree damage was noted on property just northwest of Wacoochee Elementary School. Numerous trees were uprooted and limbs were snapped across the property, in line with the TDS on radar. One tree limb fell on part of a home, causing very little damage. Tree damage continued to just northeast of a large pond, where the track ended. NWS Birmingham would like to thank Lee County EMA for conducting this survey.

2 NNE Noma Junction - 3 NNE Noma Junction This tornado began southwest of Bodie Lane and southeast of Tobe Retherford where it uprooted hardwood trees and snapped large limbs. This tornado increased in strength when it reached the intersection of Newberry Lane and Highway 177A as it caused numerous tree trunks to snap along with the tops of softwood trees; this was one of the areas indicative of damage consistent with low end EF-2 wind speeds. The tornado then moved parallel to Flowing Well Road while uprooting several hardwood trees, snapping large limbs, causing three electrical wooden power poles to snap, along with causing minor roof damage to a single- wide manufactured home. The tornado continued to move northeast across Old Ridge Road where several hardwood trees were uprooted and snapped. Once the tornado reached Highway 2 south of Esto, it caused several types of damage ranging from a tipped over Exxon Gas station covering, numerous snapped hardwood and softwood trees, an overturned SUV and trailer, and minor to moderate roof damage to a small business and a one-story home; this was another area indicative of damage consistent of low end EF-2 wind speeds. The Holmes County Sheriffs Office reported one minor injury in the vicinity of the intersection of Highways 2 and 79. As the tornado continued to track northeast to Noma, it continued to snap hardwood tree limbs, uproot trees and promote moderate roof damage of a single-wide manufactured home. The tornado then crossed northeast to the Florida and Alabama state line snapping hardwood limbs. Before it dissipated in Alabama just north of Highway 4, it snapped numerous softwood tree trunks and the tops of trees. Start: 30.9960/-85.6090 End: 31.0120/-85.5974 |

3 ESE Waterloo - 4 E Waterloo The NWS in Huntsville, AL, in collaboration with the Lauderdale County EMA, has confirmed that an EF-1 tornado caused damage in Waterloo, AL. The tornado produced maximum estimated winds of 90 mph. Lauderdale County EMA provided valuable Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) imagery of the damage path. This imagery, along with video footage of the tornado moving off the Tennessee River, was analyzed to determine the extent of this tornado track. The tornado developed over the Tennessee River, east of Pickwick Lake. It then moved onshore southwest of the County Road 14 and County Road 75 intersection, where initial tree damage was observed. As the tornado approached and subsequently crossed County Road 14, a farm outbuilding sustained roof damage. The tornado continued on a northeast trajectory towards the Wright community, causing additional uprooted trees. It is believed the tornado likely lifted west of County Road 133. The NWS extends special thanks to the Lauderdale County EMA for their assistance and for providing crucial drone footage of the damage path. Start: 34.9045/-88.0145 End: 34.9115/-87.9847 |

5 S Killen - 3 SE Rogersville An NWS Storm Survey team assessed damage across northern Colbert, northern Lawrence, far southeast Lauderdale, and western Limestone County and found numerous trees down. This was initially reported as thunderstorm wind damage due to the widespread nature of the damage with the potential for embedded tornadic damage. Supplemental drone imagery courtesy of Lauderdale and Colbert EMA has led to just that: the addition of this tornado track from Ford City through Red Bank, crossing the Tennessee River at Wheeler Lake, tracking south of Rogersville, and then into far southwest Limestone county. The reason for transitioning into tornadic damage as opposed to thunderstorm wind damage is the drone imagery indicating circular ground scarring, more convergent tree fall patterns, and very concentrated damage paths within the broad tree damage that were difficult to ascertain from the ground survey. The tornado touched down near Ford City where initial tree limbs snapped then rapidly began uprooting numerous trees north of River Road. Several trees were uprooted on River Road, but these were all facing to the east and determined to be inflow winds. One of these trees fell on a home and the drywall fell and scratched a child, resulting in one injury. North of River Road, several trees were found uprooted along with two collapsed silos along Sprout Spring Hollow Rd. These silos had been in place since the 1930s and were completely destroyed, marking the maximum intensity of 105 mph. The tornado then tracked east-southeast toward Foster Mills and Red Bank, uprooting numerous trees along its path and snapping large limbs. After crossing the Tennessee River at Wheeler Lake, the tornado crossed south of Rogersville where both EMA and storm spotter provided drone imagery indicating a narrow path of snapped and uprooted trees. After crossing the Elk River, the tornado began lifting along Snake Road and Little Elk Road in Limestone county where large limbs were snapped and then the tops of trees. An incredible thank you to Lauderdale County EMA for providing the drone imagery, and thank you to EMA in Colbert, Lawrence, and Limestone for their coordination with the several surveys in their area.

4 E Rogersville - 5 E Rogersville An NWS Huntsville Survey team along with Limestone County Emergency Management was able to determine an EF-1 tornado impacting an area between Highway 72 and Cox Rd resulting from the storms on 5/20/25. This brief tornado touched down around 6:09 PM along Dement Rd where drone imagery showed a tree down. The tornado continued east moving over mainly wooded areas. Drone imagery showed multiple trees and large branches down continuing east from Dement Rd, parallel to Highway 72. Based on Drone imagery, the tornado had a maximum intensity of EF-1 with a wind speed of 100 mph, with a maximum width of 64 yards. After moving across a property north of Highway 72, the tornado lifted just before Cox Rd at around 6:10 PM. Thank you to Limestone County EMA for their drone imagery that supplemented this survey.

5 SSE Athens - 2 NE Madison The National Weather Service Huntsville, AL has conducted a damage assessment following a tornado that impacted areas of Limestone and Madison Counties. The survey team determined that the damage observed is consistent with an EF-2 tornado, with maximum estimated wind speeds of 125 mph. The tornado was initially observed and filmed by multiple storm chasers west of Interstate 65 near Tanner, Alabama. As it crossed I-65 in the vicinity of the Highway 31 intersection, numerous trees were uprooted or snapped.The tornado tracked eastward, passing south of Huntsville-Brownsferry Road and moving towards Greenbrier Parkway. Along Greenbrier Parkway, multiple trees were uprooted, and several structures sustained minor roof damage. Sporadic tree damage continued east of Greenbrier Parkway toward Powell Road and Burgreen Road. Upon entering Madison County near the County Line Road area, the tornado caused minor roof damage to several single-family homes and downed trees onto some residences. One home located west of County Line Road experienced significant damage to its west-facing facade. Further tree damage, predominantly uproots, was observed between County Line Road and Wall Triana Highway, with several instances of trees falling on homes.The tornado reached its maximum intensity as it approached Hughes Road, specifically near Downing Ridge and Millsford Road. In this area, two single-family homes suffered major roof damage, with most or all of the roofing material removed. Numerous trees were also uprooted at this location.Continuing eastward, the tornado crossed Hughes Road in the Dublin Circle area. Sporadic tree damage was noted north of Eastview Drive through the Kensington Drive vicinity. It is believed the tornado likely dissipated before reaching Slaughter Road.

3 WSW Athens - Athens A National Weather Service Huntsville, AL survey team has concluded that damage observed in the Athens area resulted from an EF-1 tornado. The tornado produced maximum estimated wind speeds of 105 mph. The tornado likely initiated south of Highway 72, between York Lane and Lucas Ferry Road. Significant impacts were observed near the intersection of Lucas Ferry Road and Sanderfer Road, where numerous wooden power poles were snapped, and cross members were broken. Uprooted trees and additional snapped power poles were documented along Sanderfer Road.The tornado tracked in an east- northeast direction, continuing through the Jefferson Road and Highway 72 vicinity. It is believed to have lifted shortly after crossing this area. Start: 34.7749/-87.0065 End: 34.7824/-86.9604 |

4 NE Huntsville - 3 NW Gurley A tornado produced EF1 damage with 107 mph winds and was on the ground for 8.7 miles from the east side of the Blossomwood neighborhood, across Monte Sano Mountain, and then continuing on through Moontown and ending briefly in Brownsboro. This same supercell then produced the Killingsworth Cove tornado. Both satellite NVDI Difference Imagery concurrent with ALEA-provided aerial imagery of the damage path confirms that there was indeed a break in the two tracks, though they both spawned from the same supercell storm. The tornado began by snapping several hardwood and softwood trees on the Eastern side of Blossomwood in Huntsville, at the base of Monte Sano Mountain. Trees were downed and witness statements confirmed the tornado touchdown near the intersection of Randolph Avenue and Toll Gate Road. Further east, more widespread tree damage was noted on satellite imagery up the mountain at the end of Cleermont Drive near the Wildflower Hiking Trail. NVDI satellite imagery here shows that the tornado was about 400 yards wide at its widest point crossing overtop Monte Sano, snapping and uprooting large swaths of trees in Monte Sano State Park. The tornado traversed the leeward side of the mountain and continued producing tree damage in Moontown, south of the Moontown Airport along Moontown and Bob Hunt Roads, just west of the Flint River. After crossing the Flint River south of Hwy 72, the tornado began to weaken as it approached Madison County High School, downing several power poles to the east of the school on Brock Road. The tornado was then disrupted while crossing the terrain at this location, finally roping out and producing minor tree damage and minor damage to a barn in fields in the 1000-block of Salty Bottom Road. Radar data then shows the supercell then began to produce a secondary area of rotation to the northeast as it cycled once again, and this track would eventually become the Killingsworth Cove Road tornado that tracked into Jackson County. Start: 34.7355/-86.5645 End: 34.7430/-86.4145 |

4 SW Flint City - 1 NNE Priceville An NWS Huntsville Survey team was able to identify an EF- 1 tornado in Morgan county in the Hartselle to Priceville area from the storms on 5/20/25. The tornado started near Rocky Ford Road and continued east toward Highway 31. Several large branches were found down along with trees uprooted along Van Bridge Rd. A tree was found snapped at the trunk along this road (Vaughn Bridge Rd) indicating the location where the tornado reached its maximum intensity of EF-1 with a wind speed of 105 mph. NE of Vaughn Bridge the tornado reached its maximum width where several large branches were found spanning 540 yards. The tornado continued east crossing Highway 31 and then took a NE turn with several large branches down along Indian Hills Rd. The track continued NE crossing I-65 and ventured into Priceville. Several large branches were again found on various streets north of Point Mallard Pkwy SE eventually lifting along Cove Springs Rd. Of note is the tornado track north of Hartselle is displaced south of the hook echo on radar imagery. Tornadoes this evening had a rope appearance, causing the damage at the ground to be displaced from the circulation in radar imagery. Thank you to Morgan County EMA for their coordination with this survey. Start: 34.4683/-87.0294 End: 34.5366/-86.8782 |

4 N Gurley - 8 WSW Skyline The same supercell that marched across North Central Alabama and produced several tornadoes was responsible for tornado damage in the Killingsworth Cove area in Eastern Madison County. The tornado touched down on Acuff Road, downing a large swath of hardwood trees just east of Boulder Trail. A barn sustained roof damage here as well, with some uplifting of the roof and peeling back of a few pieces of tin. From here, the tornado snapped and uprooted numerous hardwood trees as it moved across the field toward structures on Killingworth Cove Road. Here, the tornado had its strongest winds and was at its widest point: 134 mph winds and 400 yards. A mobile home was completely destroyed at this location, hurling the mangled frame 150-200 yards from its original location. Thankfully, the family got the tornado warning and left the home to take shelter in the community shelter at the KCVFD less than a mile away. Debris from the destroyed mobile home was strewn about 225-250 yards across the street and into the field leading to JB Hawkins Road. Two other structures at this location sustained damage. The home next door was just outside the funnel and had significant roof damage, as well as projectiles that penetrated the side of the home in two locations. A resident was inside at the time and sheltered after receiving the warning, and thankfully was not injured. On the other side of the path on the corner of Killingsworth Cove Road and JB Hawkins Road, another home sustained major structural damage. Only portions of walls were left standing of the home, but survey teams discovered that no anchor bolts were used to attach the home to the foundation. All portions of the bases of walls that were investigated were toe nailed down, owing to the damage sustained at this location. From this location, the tornado climbed the elevation behind the homes on JB Hawkins, snapping and uprooting large swaths of hardwood trees. The track was extended thanks to NVDI Difference Imagery that shows changes in vegetation in hard-to-reach places such as those without ample road networks. Aerial imagery was also utilized to confirm these findings, therefore extending the track by just over 5 miles in distance into Western Jackson County, AL (path length total of 7.06 miles). This tornado was a separate track from the Trenton tornado that survey teams also confirmed in the area this afternoon. Special thanks to Madison County EMA, Jackson County EMA, Alabama State EMA (ALEA) for flight imagery, linemen from Huntsville Utilities, and members of the Madison County Sheriffs Office for their assistance on the storm survey yesterday and today.

7 WSW Skyline - 3 ESE Skyline The tornado touched down just southeast of Hwy 65 in Trenton in Jackson County, AL, producing large limb damage on County Road 20. The tornado continued and strengthened along CR20, producing sporadic hardwood/softwood tree damage just north of Little Nashville. Trees were snapped and uprooted along the path, with several broken power poles observed about 2-2.5 miles down CR20. Tree damage and power pole damage here was the highest wind speed, 110 mph, at this location, concurrent with an EF1 tornado. Further northeast along the path, the tornado widened near an old community center near Guess Creek, maintaining the 110 mph wind speeds here. Several projectiles were noted impaled into the ground at this location, some of which were 2-3 feet into the ground. Large swaths of hardwood and softwood trees were also downed here, with a width estimated at 275 yards. Minor roof damage was also noted here, as well as an older outbuilding with the roof removed at this location. The tornado produced additional tree damage at a cemetery at the end of CR20 before traversing more terrain, producing additional damage at a farm downstream on County Road 17. Sporadic tree damage was found along CR 17 on Sleepy Lane, Wilkins Drive, and Pace Drive before crossing Hwy 79. Beyond Hwy 79, the tornado snapped and uprooted a few more isolated trees south of Maynard Cove before dissipating by County Road 28. Special thanks to Jackson County EMA, AL State EMA (ALEA) for flight imagery, and NVDI Difference Satellite imagery for confirmation of trees downed in hard-to-access locations without ample road networks. This aided survey teams tremendously this afternoon and was much appreciated. Start: 34.7522/-86.2435 End: 34.7814/-86.0666 |

Section - 3 ESE Dutton The tornado initiated its path near the Highway 71 and Highway 35 intersection, close to the Section baseball fields. Throughout its duration, the primary damage indicators included downed small and large tree branches. While two trees were uprooted, their expected wind resistance was reduced due to suspected rot. The tornado continued on an eastward trajectory, passing near CR 395 and subsequently crossing CR 372. It is believed to have lifted just west of the CR 123 and CR 47 intersection, near the border of Jackson and DeKalb counties. Start: 34.5794/-85.9819 End: 34.5837/-85.8765 |

Crossville - 2 WNW Collinsville This tornado began just east of Graves Street in the Crossville area, where a large tree was uprooted and a large branch (8 to 12 inches in diameter) was broken off of a tree 20 yards away. Additionally, a small porch on a nearby residence was damaged and lost most of its roofing. The tornado continued east just south and paralleling highway 68, uprooting sporadic trees and breaking off large tree branches along its way. More substantial roof damage occurred at a building associated with the Sand Mountain Research Extension Center off of CR 190. The tornado intensified at this location to EF1 intensity, collapsing the entire roof of the structure. Maximum peak winds of 93 mph were seen at this location. Here, the tornado continued on a eastward path and uprooted one very large tree and snapped another one from its base (though it had some rot to it). The tornado seemed to widen a bit more as it pushed east, but weakened again to EF0 intensity as it crossed CR 37. At this location, it did pick up a covering structure for hay and tossed it across a field. On the south end of the field, a small portion of one side of a barn was torn apart. The tornado then moved a bit more to the east northeast paralleling highway 68 as its path width decreased significantly to less than 300 yards. The EF0 tornado continued its path east to east-Southeast uprooting trees or snapping off large branches of trees before lifting just east of CR 84. Start: 34.2848/-85.9910 End: 34.2835/-85.8923 |

4 NNW Sand Rock The supercell that produced a tornado earlier in Crossville produced another EF1 tornado that affected the Mount Vernon area. This tornado began just east of CR 83. At this location, one large tree was uprooted and a 3 to 5 inch branch was broken off of a tree 10 yards away. The tornado quickly moved northeast and strengthened to EF1 intensity as it approached highway 176. Near one residence, three healthy and large pine trees were partially uprooted and another was broken off in a different direction and fell onto a mobile home nearby. At this location, the snapped tree heavily damaged the roof of the residence and destroyed a carport. Just one house further northeast, a camper trailer (weighing approximately 5000 lbs) was lifted off its foundation and dragged 15 yards, before being flipped on its side. Peak winds of 100 mph were reached at this location. Additional minor tree limbs were seen snapped in the distance. Start: 34.2941/-85.7893 End: 34.2972/-85.7839 |

2 SW Saks - 1 SE Blue Mountain This tornado appears to have touched down somewhere in the restricted area of the Pelham Range based on radar. The first accessible damage occurred along Calhoun County Road (CR) 109 (Bynum Leatherwood Rd) just north of the Lloyds Chapel Cemetery, where several large trees were uprooted. The tornado continued to the ESE crossing Reaves Road and Gardendale Drive, where swaths of trees were snapped or uprooted, with trees falling on a manufactured home and a site built home in the area. Several pine trees were still blocking traffic across CR 46 (Parkwood Rd) near the intersection with McCulley Ln. The tornado continued ESE roughly along CR 46, before crossing Alexandria Rd, where several streets were blocked with uprooted hardwood trees. As the tornado approached US Highway 431, significant damage continued but became more sparse and sporadic as the tornado appeared to end and transition to a thunderstorm wind event.

3 NNW Ranburne - 2 N Ranburne The tornado first touched down in a field just south of Cleburne County Road (CR) 67 about 0.3 miles east of CR 49. The tornado proceeded to destroy a half of an old barn, lofting and tossing debris both upstream and downstream, as well as laterally. A large portion of the barn roof landed on a home about 30 yards downstream, with several missiles embedded in the roof as well as the surrounding yard. There was notable splatter on the right side of the house not facing the direction of the damaged barn. Direct wind damage to the home was minor, with a facia damage and a partially collapsed garage door. Debris from the barn was also found hundreds of yards away in an adjoining pasture. From there, the tornado proceeded to the ESE snapping and uprooting hardwood trees as it crossed CR 67, CR 611, and CR 95. From there, the tornado weakened and caused only a few tree branches to be damaged along CR 672 before it dissipated before reaching CR 34. Start: 33.5740/-85.3624 End: 33.5624/-85.3318 |

4 SSW Mitchell - 4 NNW Simsville A brief tornado touched down in an open pasture east of County Road 37 where a few large branches were snapped along a tree line and one tree was uprooted in the field. The tornado tracked to the east where it crossed through a small hunting club and uprooted more trees. Most of this area was inaccessible due to trees across the roadway, but no structural damage was noted. The tornado then intensified as it crossed County Road 185 where there was about a 800 to 900 yard wide zone of snapped and uprooted hardwoods and softwoods. The tornado continued to track east through various inaccessible pastures and wooded areas before dissipating near County Road 7 to the south of Fitzpatrick where a couple branches were snapped. Start: 32.1896/-85.9662 End: 32.1844/-85.8824 |

8 WNW Stevenson - Stevenson A survey team from the NWS in Huntsville, AL and Jackson County EMA, has determined that an EF-0 tornado caused damage in northeastern Jackson County. The tornado had maximum estimated winds of 85 mph. The initial damage was observed in the Cave Springs area near County Road 54, where large tree branches were downed as the tornado tracked east-southeast. Additional indicators of tree damage were found near the intersection of County Road 53 and County Road 147. The tornado then progressed along Highway 117 into Stevenson, where trees were observed to be uprooted or had large branches broken. As the primary damage indicators were related to trees, and considering the above- average rainfall experienced in May, the estimated wind speeds were slightly reduced to account for highly saturated ground conditions. Start: 34.9084/-85.9670 End: 34.8699/-85.8376 |

3 SSW Redstone Arsenal A brief tornado touched down on Redstone Arsenal just off Ranger Road. The tornado bent fencing while entering the property, then proceeded to shift dozens of 500lb storage tanks, tossing about 3 of them. Another metal trough tank was also tipped over and tossed. Then, after plowing through a chain-link fence, the tornado struck a light metal frame storage building. The bolts connecting the support columns to the foundation slab were sheared on three of the columns. The entire western flank of the building was collapsed in by the tornado, with metal framework bent as well. Some of the contents of the building were tossed out and strewn downwind several hundred yards found by on-site employees. As quickly as the tornado developed, it dissipated short of Saturn Drive, with no further identifiable damage found downwind. Start: 34.6401/-86.6738 End: 34.6403/-86.6717 |
