3 S Oak Level - 1 NNE Mars Hill The National Weather Service in Birmingham surveyed damage in northern Cleburne County and confirmed an EF-0 tornado with winds up to 80 mph. The tornado began in a heavily forested area between County Road (CR) 549 and CR 205, where several pine trees were uprooted or limbs were snapped. The track moved northeast across a large area of inaccessible land and emerged at CR 296 and CR 49, where several more small pine trees were snapped or uprooted. More tree damage was noted at the intersection of CR 40 and CR 65, with very minor damage to a couple homes. The tornado then followed along CR 65, with additional tree damage along both sides of the road. Tree damage became slightly heavier as the tornado approached the Mars Hill community. The tornado struck four chicken houses and peeled the roofing off the southern end of three, scattering debris to the east and northeast. A home sustained minor roof damage, and a detached garage was damaged by a falling tree. Just downstream, a shed was destroyed in the yard of another residence. A tornado debris signature then became apparent on radar. The damage became more sparse as the path continued, with tree damage, mostly to pines, continuing across CR 123 and CR 253. The damage path appeared to end just past CR 253, before reaching the Georgia state line. Start: 33.7984/-85.4927 End: 33.8563/-85.3848 |

6 WNW Pintlala - 3 NW Pintlala NWS meteorologists assessed storm damage along the Lowndes County and Montgomery County line, in the community of Rolling Acres, and determined it was the result of a tornado. The tornado began on the west side of Cruise Road, just north of Bibb Road, where a few snapped and uprooted trees were observed. The tornado then continued eastward to County Road 26 and Hargrove Lane, producing similar timber damage along the way. The tornado then struck a manufactured home (MH) as well as two site-built homes along Treat Road. The first site-built home sustained damage to an attached carport and associated roofing on the south side of the structure. The MH had its sheet metal roof completely removed, though the roof truss structure remained intact. Insulation from its roof was noted to have been blown southeastward while the metal roofing material was blown northward. Next door, the tornado removed from a site-built home a large section of its roof structure on the west side of the structure. A splattering of insulation was noted on the east side of the residence. This damage pattern suggest a cyclonic wind field (i.e., a tornado). Several trees were uprooted or snapped in the vicinity of the structures. The tornado then produced additional timber damage, fairly minor in nature, east to near the shoulder of Interstate 65. 99% of this tornado's path was characterized by EF-0 damage, though a maximum rating of EF-1 is assigned due to the level of damage to the site-built home, making the worst of damage very, very short-lived. Start: 32.2218/-86.4555 End: 32.2191/-86.3995 |

Geneva - 2 E Eunola A tornado touched down in a western Geneva neighborhood causing mainly EF-1 damage between Campbell and Magnolia Avenues. EF-2 damage occurred downtown on Commerce St. where roofing material was peeled off three adjacent low-rise buildings. After crossing a swampy area, a significant number of snapped trees were observed on either side of the SR 52 bridge over the Choctawhatchee River. The tornado continued east causing sporadic damage on McDougald St. in Eunola, Spring Creek Road, and East CR 4 before lifting near Spring Creek itself. Both EF-2 areas had maximum winds of 115 mph. Start: 31.0369/-85.8784 End: 31.0352/-85.8175 |

6 WNW Pintlala - 3 NW Pintlala This tornado began west of Center Church Road where it snapped large hardwood tree branches and removed several shingles off of a manufactured home. It continued to push east-southeast to Bill Yance Road where it snapped a few softwood tree trunks. It then crossed Highway 52 where it continued to snap large softwood tree branches and slightly bent a street sign just off of Highway 52. As it continued to move eastward to across County Road 95, it continued to snap softwood tree limbs. Thereafter, the tornado pushed east southeast to across River Road where it partially collapsed a tin RV car port and snapped a few software tree trunks, before lifting just before the Georgia state line. Damage was consistent with an EF1 tornado with winds of approximately 88 mph. Start: 31.3001/-85.2439 End: 31.2839/-85.0995 |

1 WSW Trussville - 2 S Trussville The National Weather Service surveyed damage in Trussville and determined that a high-end EF-0 tornado occurred. Damage began along the north end of Mary Taylor Rd, where a construction trailer was flipped. A portion of the Metro Mini Storage had doors blown in and metal roofing lifted/peeled back. Next to this, approximately 13-14 trees in close proximity were uprooted, including 12 cedar trees in a tight row. Winds were estimated at about 80 mph here. The tornado crossed Highway 11, where minor roof damage was done to a car wash and Velma's restaurant. As the tornado moved southeastward along Mary Taylor Rd, large doors were partially blown in and roofing was removed from a warehouse, and a fence was damaged at a dog daycare center. The tornado crossed a railroad and struck Daniel Iron, with a section of a warehouse having large doors blown in and large pieces of metal roofing removed. A few flatbed semi trailers were moved in the lot as well. The tornado then ascended a small ridge and moved through a subdivision, causing mainly shingle and fence damage at numerous homes, along with a few trees and limbs being downed. At least one home was observed to have had a garage door damaged. Of particular note was the discovery of a large chunk of steel roofing from the Daniel Iron warehouse that landed on a home before sliding off and coming to rest on the side of another home. This caused considerable roof damage to the first home, resulting in water damage from rain. After this, minor tree and shingle damage continued across Hidden Brook Dr, Amber Trace, Yvonne St, and Alabama Dr, with the most notable damage being a few uprooted trees in close proximity along Yvonne St. The last area of discernible damage, very minor in nature, was observed near a lake in a curve along Queenstown Rd. Wind speeds at the peak were estimated at 85 mph at Daniel Iron. The NWS would like to thank Jefferson County EMA for their assistance during this survey. Start: 33.6106/-86.6297 End: 33.5961/-86.6082 |

1 NNE Bull City - 4 NW North Johns The National Weather Service surveyed damage in western Jefferson County and determined that an EF-0 tornado occurred, embedded within a larger area of straight-line wind damage. The tornado began south of Lock 17 Rd near Betty Hill Rd, where several softwood trees were uprooted, knocking down power lines. An area of weak rotation was noted on radar associated with this damage and the feature continued to the section of Groundhog Rd in the area of Woods Creek. Here, extensive softwood tree damage was observed, with numerous trees uprooted and smaller trees snapped. Much of the treefall was found to be laying easterly to east- northeasterly, with overall storm motion to the southeast. Minor softwood tree damage associated with the same radar feature was observed along Mud Creek Rd north of the Groundhog Rd intersection, with a couple uprooted trees and several limbs down. Start: 33.4362/-87.2483 End: 33.4061/-87.1541 |

1 WSW Isney - 1 E Isney The EF-1 tornado began just west of Wildflower Rd south of Highway 84 near Isney, Alabama. The tornado resulted in a few uprooted and snapped trees as it passed over Wildflower Rd. The tornado reached its peak intensity likely between Wildflower Rd and Poultry Rd where it snapped several softwoods, uprooted other trees and did damage to several chicken farm buildings. Total damage to the chicken farm was difficult to determine given the buildings were already damaged from a prior storm but satellite imagery was able to assist in determining there was at least some new damage to the buildings. As a result peak intensity was given to the tree damage and a lower bound estimate was given to the chicken farm. The tornado then proceeded towards Highway 84 as it slowly weakened before crossing Highway 84 near Lone Star Rd. Start: 31.7790/-88.4662 End: 31.7790/-88.4412 |

1 W Souwilpa - 1 WSW Souwilpa This short EF-1 tornado began just north of Souwilpa Road resulting in a couple softwood trunk snaps before crossing Souwilpa Road resulting in a couple uprooted trees and destroying an outbuilding that was pulled southward towards the path. A large oak was uprooted before the short tornado dissipated into the woods. Peak intensity was likely around 90 mph based on the uproots and snapped trunks. Start: 31.8192/-88.3473 End: 31.8182/-88.3456 |

1 NE Souwilpa The brief EF-1 tornado began along Souwilpa road near Alabama Highway 187 where it uprooted and snapped a couple of trees. A very narrow convergence path was noted as it crossed Highway 17 peaking in intensity as it snapped a few small softwood pines before likely dissipating in the woods east of Highway 17. Start: 31.8276/-88.3143 End: 31.8294/-88.3127 |

2 SSE Boothetown - 3 SE Boothetown The EF-0 tornado began along Mason Ferry Rd west of Georgetown, Alabama where it resulted in a few large branches snapped. The tornado continued through the forest on the north side of Mason Ferry rd before reaching McDavid rd where large branches and a large softwood tree was uprooted in a clear convergent pattern. This is likely where the tornado ended. The tornado may have reached peak intensity within the woods; however, the peak intensity that survey crews were able to find was around 85 mph. Start: 30.9222/-88.3352 End: 30.9149/-88.2958 |

4 SE Boothetown - 4 WSW Chunchula The EF-1 tornado began south of Mason Ferry Rd just south of McDavid Rd. The start point was difficult to determine as the end point of another tornado and the start point of this tornado were close in proximity to each other. However, convergence patterns and radar analysis did suggest that these were indeed two separate tornadoes rather than one tornado. The tornado snapped a couple of softwood trunks and continued sporadically uprooting trees as it approached Brothers Lake Club Rd where it reached peak intensity of 90 mph near and around Brothers Lake Club Rd. The tornado then crosses Mason Ferry Rd and tracked into the forest before crossing Alabama 217 and finishing near Cleborne Rd. Start: 30.9124/-88.2944 End: 30.9035/-88.2704 |

Poarch Creek Reservation A brief EF1 tornado impacted the Poarch Creek Indian Reservation. This tornado began in the adjacent field to the Poarch Creek Indians Gym, first taking the scoreboard and tossing the heavy half 200 yards downstream and the lighter half being tossed into the adjacent field`s scoreboard approximately 500 yards away. The tornado then impacted the gym lifting up a significant portion of the roofing material on the west-facing side. On the east side of the gym, a short power pole was snapped along with most of the roofing material being deposited into the netting adjacent to the next field in its path adjacent to the parking lot. The tornado continued to the east-southeast, reaching its strongest point prior to crossing Lynn McGhee Drive where it snapped numerous small hardwood trees and pushed over several road signs. This is also where the tornado reached its peak width at approximately 80 yards. After crossing Lynn McGhee Drive and Green Road, a softwood tree was snapped mid trunk with a large amount of small tree debris and limbs scattered across the adjacent field. The tornado continued weakening as it moved southeast and then east across Creek Drive, causing minor roofing and siding damage to buildings. The last visible damage point was along Jack Springs Road where a large oak tree was uprooted facing east-southeast. Start: 31.1065/-87.5664 End: 31.1035/-87.5565 |

1 N Springhill A localized area of storm damage was surveyed by NWS Birmingham Meteorologists along Highway 87 to the north of Spring Hill. The damage in this area was consistent with an EF0 tornado, with several Housing Authority duplexes sustaining significant roof damage on the west side of 87. The key indicator of a tornado was insulation splattering on the eastern wall of one of the buildings, along with a weak debris signature noted on KEOX radar. Debris was also strewn across a field on the southern side of the circulation. The tornado continued east across Highway 87 where several more duplexes sustained minor roof damage with a couple of uprooted trees noted in the area as well. The tornado was rather short-lived with a path length of roughly one-quarter mile, and no notable areas of damage before or after the Housing Authority property. Start: 31.7057/-85.9604 End: 31.7077/-85.9562 |

2 S Clayton Municipal Airport - 2 SSE Clayton Municipal Airport An area of damage was surveyed along John C Martin Rd to the south of Clayton and the damage was determined to be the result of a brief, EF0 tornado. The tornado touched down just east of a couple chicken houses where it damaged the roof of a metal outbuilding and ejected pieces of tin into a nearby field. The tornado continued east a short distance through the field, then it crossed John C Martin Rd where multiple softwood trees were snapped and uprooted at the intersection of Hovey Rd and John C Martin Rd. A house across the street lost a few shingles and most of the windows were blown out on the front of the home. Several trees in the yard were snapped or uprooted. The tornado quickly weakened as it continued east-southeast into an open field where several large branches were snapped along a tree line then the tornado dissipated shortly after. Start: 31.8484/-85.4824 End: 31.8462/-85.4737 |

Kinsey - 1 N Pearce A tornado touched down on Waldon Road south of Kinsey, AL where a home sustained very minor shingle damage. As the tornado travelled east along Lynn Jarvis Road, it tore the roof off a small shed. and snapped a tree. The tornado strengthened to an EF-1 as it approached Glenwood Estates, uprooting and snapping several trees within that community. As the tornado approached Gilly Mill Road, it was nearing peak intensity as it lifted an outbuilding vertically from its moorings and tossed it into a tree. The tornado then weekend and possibly briefly lifted before damaging an awning on Randall Wade Road. The tornado then lifted near CR 55, but not before snapping support posts of a large outbuilding, including repurposed telephone poles, allowing the entire structure to shift several feet. This movement toppled a concrete structure within the outbuilding. Maximum sustained winds were estimated to be 110 mph. Start: 31.2924/-85.3462 End: 31.2800/-85.2269 |
