Geraldine An EF-0 tornado touched down near an open-walled garage and caused minor roof damage to the metal roofing panels. The tornado then tracked north-northwest, crossing CR-34 and directly hitting an open-walled chicken house. While most of the roof was damaged, the open walls allowed for the tornado to more easily loft portions of the roof and cause damage to metal roofing panels, so a lower-end estimate of 70 mph was given. This was the maximum width identifiable in the damage pattern for the weak tornado, as roughly two-thirds of the building had roof damage. The tornado then continued north-northwest, uprooting a few trees before rapidly lifting. Due to waterlogged soils from antecedent heavy rainfall, a low-end wind estimate of 73 mph was provided for the uprooted trees. Overall, the tornado lasted less than a minute as it tracked a quarter-mile from south-southeast to the north-northwest embedded within a QLCS. Start: 34.3197/-86.0390 End: 34.3238/-86.3238
