Event Narrative

Although much of the damage in Henry county was consistent with straight line winds associated with a line of thunderstorms, a small segment was determined to be associated with an EF0 tornado. This tornado began about one mile southwest of the intersection of Alabama State Highway 10 and County Road 57. The tornado continued intermittently for around 2 miles and ended to the north of Alabama State Highway 10 about 5 miles east of Abbeville. Damage with this tornado was limited primarily to numerous downed trees and roof damage to barns and outbuildings. This is consistent with DI 1 (Damage Indicator) and DOD 1 and 2 (Degree of Damage) on the EF (Enhanced Fujita) scale. The damage to personal property was estimated to be around $95,000 according to the Emergency Manager with total damage expected to exceed $150,000 including utility restoration.
