NWS EF Scale: F1
National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in southwest Pike County and determined that it was consistent with an EF0 tornado, with maximum sustained winds near 70 mph.||The tornado initially touched down north of County Road 6, several miles south of Goshen. It tracked north-northeast mainly over rural farmlands and open fields. Due to the lack of road access, the path width and length were estimated. Wind speeds were based on trees uprooted west of County Road 2243. The survey was prompted by a distinct TDS from the Fort Rucker WSR-88D.
A very potent storm system moved out of the Southern Plains States and into the Central Gulf Coast Region Saturday and into Sunday morning.
