1 NNE - 1 NE Malvern Very brief tornado touched down in a field just northwest of Malvern Highway and Scott Road. The tornado caused damage to crops in the field and then destroyed a rather well build carport, pulling anchor bolts from concrete and lag bolts from wooden posts. The tornado quickly dissipated before crossing Malvern Highway. Start: 31.1497/-85.5123 End: 31.1472/-85.5110
NWS EF Scale: F1
An EF0 tornado initially tracked through portions of Malvern, AL. The path began near Firecracker Road where some minor damage was found. The tornado then crossed the Magnolia Grove Mobile Home Community along Wynwood Ln where more notable damage occurred. The stairway of one home was displaced about 5 ft from the front door. An adjacent mobile home suffered major roof loss, while another near the community entrance had a wooden projectile impale its side. The tornado then caused some damage along County Road 93 between Malvern Highway and East College Avenue where mostly broken tree limbs were found. Additional damage occurred in portions of Rehobeth along Branton Road near South Park Avenue, mostly to a few outbuildings with a large uprooted tree leaning against a home. The end point is near Porter Road just off County Road 203 where two large oak trees were uprooted at two neighboring properties. One large tree trunk also snapped and fell on top of a home's living room. The max estimated winds were 85 mph.
A slow moving cold front brought multiple rounds of severe weather to the tri-state region from April 5-7. Several tornadoes occurred along with numerous reports of wind damage and a few reports of large hail. None of the tornadoes were rated stronger than EF1.
