A tornado crossed over from Tishomingo County across the Tennessee River into Lauderdale County where it intensified into an EF-1. Drone imagery courtesy of Lauderdale County EMA showed large swaths of tree damage through far northwestern Lauderdale County, typically not accessible through traditional road networks. The damage continued along portions of County Road 3, at which point it was at its widest. As the tornado tracked toward the Tennessee state line, it was still uprooting and snapping several large trees before entering Hardin County in Tennessee.
A long track tornadic supercell moved from Tishomingo County in Mississippi through far northwest Lauderdale County in Alabama into Hardin County in Tennessee. The tornado struck mainly rural and forested parts of Lauderdale County as noted in the event report and storm survey information.
