1 NW Pisgah - 4 NNW Sylvania An NWS Storm Survey determined that a tornado touched down on County Road 432 north of County Road 88 where several large limbs were snapped off of hardwood trees. The tornado then tracked south-southeast just west of Pisgah causing sparse tree limb damage before crossing County Road 372 and uprooting and snapping several trees near a residence. At this point, the tornado tracked southeast along County Road 58, uprooting several trees along the way, before it crossed Highway 71 and tracked southward. The track becomes difficult to identify south of County Road 425, as it intersects with the Henegar EF-3 tornado which occurred earlier that night. The track is identifiable once more along Highway 40 where it continued southward before lifting along County Road 392 with only sparse tree damage noted. Thank you to Jackson County EMA for their assistance during this survey. Start: 34.6949/-85.8559 End: 34.6120/-85.8302

NWS EF Scale: F1

A brief tornado touched down on a ridgetop northwest of Princeton, and then crossed a field as it uprooted and snapped trees before crossing County Road 508. At this location, numerous hardwood and softwood trees were knocked down. Some of the hardwood trees uprooted here were 6-7 feet in diameter, with several pine trees snapped about 10 feet above the ground. It was at this point that the tornado was the strongest, with up to 104 mph winds. Also at this location, a manufactured home (single-wide) sustained major damage, with the home shifting about 10-15 feet back from its original location. There were no tie-downs for the home noted, but more than half of the roof was destroyed with insulation strewn for about 30 yards into the trees behind the home. Further south and east of this location, the tornado dissipated as it crossed over the terrain just east of Lick Fork.

A significant outbreak of tornadoes occurred in two waves during the evening of the 8th and early morning hours of the 9th. The first wave occurred as multiple supercell thunderstorms developed across southern middle Tennessee and far north central Alabama. These storms moved east during the evening hours, producing ## tornadoes in north central and northeast Alabama.||A break in the activity was then followed by a line of thunderstorms that dropped southeast through southern middle Tennessee into north central and northeast Alabama after Midnight through the early morning hours. The line produced tornadoes in southern middle Tennessee, a couple of which continued into northeast Alabama. Additional tornadoes occurred with the line in far northeast Alabama.||In addition, locally heavy rainfall from the slow-moving supercells produced flash flooding during the evening of the 8th, with several roadways covered with or barricaded due to hazardous driving conditions. This primarily affected locations in southeastern Madison County, northern Marshall County, and southwest Jackson County.
