1 WSW Martin Dam A brief EF-0 tornado affected Griffin Hall Road near Red Hill in Elmore County. Several trees were downed. One home suffered damage from a fallen tree. One home had some shingle loss. One outbuilding had metal paneling blown off and another had its roof lofted toward the south. A faint TDS was also noted on radar. Farther southwest along the track of the rotation, damage was absent except toward Newman Road where some trees were downed, seemingly related to a wind surging into the backside of the storm. Start: 32.6722/-85.9251 End: 32.6743/-85.9228
NWS EF Scale: F0
National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in western Elmore County and determined that it was consistent with an EF0 tornado, with maximum winds near 80 mph. The tornado touched down just east of Todd where large branches and a pine tree were uprooted. The tornado continued northeast and crossed Jordon Lake Reservoir. A swath of uprooted and some snapped trees were observed along the north side of the lake northeastward to Possum Trot Road. The last area of damage occurred at the end of Marina Road along the Coosa River where a few metal carports were damaged and some trees were uprooted.
A slow moving cold front moved through Central Alabama during the afternoon and overnight hours on February 3-4. A supercell thunderstorm developed in far eastern Mississippi and produced three EF2 tornadoes as it moved across west Alabama. Additional storms produced 2 EF0 tornadoes in Elmore County. A line of storms stalled along and south of the Interstate 85 corridor, resulting in a period of heavy rainfall and flash flooding. Rainfall totals of 4-6 inches were observed over a 3 hour period.
