6 NE North Courtland - 8 N Hillsboro A tornado in a very remote portion of far northern Lawrence County near Melton Bluff. It moved across an agricultural field, causing minor damage to a large corn field. The tornado quickly intensified to high-end EF-1 intensity, snapping off or uprooting a large forested area. The survey team noted several of these trees were medium to large size oak trees and significant damage was noted in this forested area. The tornado then descended Melton Bluff and crossed the Tennessee River into Limestone County, moving ashore at the Brigadoon neighborhood. Public photos and videos confirm the tornado was over water before it moved on land. It caused damage at Inverness Place and this is where significant damage occurred to several home. The home that had the greatest damage had all exterior walls facing the river collapsed, the roof of the main part of the house completely gone and the two story four car garage was collapsed with the roof also gone. The front of the house and interior rooms remained in tact. This damage is correlated with low end EF-3 damage. Homes nearby had substantial roof damage, damaged vehicles, and other various exterior damage. Numerous large trees throughout the neighborhood were uprooted or snapped. Moving further into the subdivision, there was roof and exterior home damage to a lesser extent, fences knocked over by other debris and broken windows. The tornado lifted in a field outside of the subdivision. Start: 34.7367/-87.2176 End: 34.7556/-87.1561
