1.7 SW Poplar Springs - 1.2 SW Poplar Springs A brief tornado touched down off Martling Road near Jolie Lane destroying one chicken house and severely damaging another . Much of the debris was thrown to the north-northwest suggesting the wind flow was circular and convergent in nature. Just northeast, several trees were snapped west of Martling Road. At the intersection of Martling Road and Burgess Road, six to eight pine trees were snapped near the base and a house sustained some roof and siding damage. Based on the structural damage to the chicken house and the snapped pines, the maximum winds were determined to be around 95 mph. Start: 34.4010/-86.1490 End: 34.4051/-86.1422
