Event Narrative

A brief tornado touched down in an open pasture east of County|Road 37, where a few large branches were snapped along a tree line|and one tree was uprooted in the field. The tornado tracked to|the east where it crossed through a small hunting club and|uprooted more trees. Most of this area was inaccessible due to|trees across the roadway, but no structural damage was noted. The|tornado then intensified as it crossed County Road 185, where|there was about a 800 to 900 yard wide zone of snapped and|uprooted hardwoods and softwoods. The tornado continued to track|east through various inaccessible pastures and wooded areas|before dissipating near County Road 7 to the south of Fitzpatrick,|where a couple branches were snapped.

Episode Narrative

A large, negatively-tilted trough over the central Plains ushered a cold front through the Central Alabama region late on May 20. Clusters of showers and thunderstorms developed into a broken line, moving across northern and eastern areas from Marion County to Cleburne County. A more concentrated area of wind damage occurred from eastern St. Clair to eastern Calhoun County, with numerous trees and power lines downed. An EF1 tornado was confirmed in the Saks area as well. Another EF1 tornado occurred in southeastern Cleburne County near Macedonia, near the Georgia state line. Early the next morning, a lone cell formed near the city of Montgomery and moved southeastward, producing another EF1 tornado in Bullock County around 4 AM CDT.
