3 ENE Elkmont - 2 WSW Ardmore An NWS storm survey determined a tornado touched down west of New Bethel Rd. The tornado uprooted and snapped several large softwood trees and collapsed more than half of a private aircraft hangar. The tornado continued north-northeast, uprooting more large trees and snapping large branches near homes along Shipley Hollow Rd, which is where the tornado reached its maximum intensity of 105 mph. Minor roof damage displacing shingles on one single-family house was observed. Sparse tree damage was observed where it was concluded that the EF-1 tornado's path ended just west of Old Scrouge Rd. Special thank you to Limestone County EMA for their assistance with this survey. Start: 34.9458/-86.9254 End: 34.9903/-86.9010
