2 NW Lou The storm produced likely straight line wind damage east of Alabama SR 17 in Gilbertown. Sporadic tree damage was noted along Clarke Road, Barrytown Road, and Mosley Bridge Road. The storm continued to progress to the northeast for six miles and eventually produced a high-end EF-1 tornado near Pleasant Hill Road. Numerous trees were uprooted and snapped in the area. The roof of a manufactured home was damaged partially due to wind and snapped trees. The manufactured home was shifted off its foundation and the nearby carport and shed were heavily damaged. The tornado went on to lift the metal roof off the back end of a nearby home. This resulted in substantial loss of its roofing. In addition, the force of the wind moving through the home pushed the front walls outward and blew out the front windows and part of the roof frame. The debris from the home was lofted into the tops of the trees across the road, with metal wrapped around trees. While this was determined to be a short-lived tornado, its path could have extended farther northeast; however, the survey team could not assess any further damage due to the lack of road access.

NWS EF Scale: F1

An EF-2 tornado began southwest of the community of Cyril, Alabama|in a forested area. The tornadoes strongest point was in this area|where a swath of extensive tree damage was noted based on Sentinel|satellite imagery. Based on this data in corroboration with other|upgrades done this season, we have raised the peak intensity of|the tornado to EF-2 with wind speeds of 120mph. The tornado began|to weaken some as it approached the community of Cyril, Alabama,|where a manufactured home was lifted and rolled into Cyril Rd just|west of Alabama SR-10. Debris from the home was scattered in the|treeline across the street. The manufactured home located next|door to the damaged home was intact with a couple of nearby large|trees snapped half way up the trunk. A nearby power pole was|uprooted as well. Numerous trees in the Cyril Rd area were|uprooted and snapped. There was minor roof damage to another|nearby home. The Cyril Rd area was the only area along the initial|tornado path that was able to be surveyed due to lack of road|access further southwest and the rest of the damage survey was|determined based on Sentinel satellite imagery. Sentinel satellite|data confirmed that the path of this tornado extended another 2+|miles to the southwest of the damage along Cyril Rd. A continuous|track with a swath of tree damage was noted in the satellite data.|Approximately 3 miles to the north-northeast of the damage along|Cyril Rd was an area of straight-line wind damage along CR 32 and|Gamma Rd. The survey team could not discern any notable |convergent pattern in the tree damage along Gamma Rd, nor did the |satellite imagery confirm a continuous track into this area. There|was also minor damage to two manufactured homes along Gamma Rd.

A strong storm system moving through the deep south. A line of thunderstorms developed ahead of this system and moved eastward. Ahead of the line, a very warm, moist and unstable environment developed which along with strong vertical shear, set the stage for an outbreak of severe thunderstorms across parts of southern United States. This event produced 3 tornadoes in southwest Alabama along with wind damage.
