Survey Summary:
An NWS storm survey team determined that a tornado touched down
in Tishomingo County, MS just east of Highway 365 on County Road
280. Damage to tree limbs and a few uprooted trees were noted. The
tornado progressed to the northeast, crossing Highway 25 and
entering JP Coleman State Park. Snapped limbs and uprooted small
trees were noted along a narrow path as the tornado approached the
Tennessee River. The tornado then entered Lauderdale County, AL
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. Fortunately, no
structures were in the path of the tornado so no structural damage
was assessed on this survey. Additional areas of tree damage were
noted across the state line into Hardin County, Tennessee.
Subsequent damage surveys and supplementary satellite imagery will
help determine an accurate end point of the tornado after it
extended into Tennessee. Thank you to Lauderdale County EMA and
Tishomingo County EMA for their help.
