0820 PM     Tornado          4 ENE Citronelle        31.11N 88.18W
03/15/2025                   Mobile             AL   NWS Storm Survey

            The tornado touched down along County Road
            96 near Meinhardt Loop Road West, where a
            few trees had their tops snapped. The
            tornado continued to the northeast into an
            area that ground survey crews could not get
            to between the start point and Sam Lewis
            Road. This stretch was likely where the
            tornado peaked in intensity as Sentinel 2
            satellite imagery depicted substantial
            damage to several segments of the forest
            likely in the form of tree snaps and
            uproots. Once higher resolution imagery
            becomes available the tornado intensity can
            be reassessed. It is also in this stretch
            the tornado peaked in width reaching close
            to 200 yards wide. The tornado weakened
            based on satellite imagery and ground survey
            crew as the tornado crossed Sam Lewis Road
            where a metal outbuilding lost its roof and
            had its walls collapsed inward. No other
            damage was observed in this location,
            leading to a lower rating at this location.
            The tornado continued to the northeast,
            crossing into Washington County, where more
            trees were damaged along the path visible
            via satellite imagery. The tornado appears
            to have lifted west of Sandy Ridge Road
            based on available satellite imagery.
            Further adjustments in track length, width,
            and intensity are likely in the coming days
            or weeks as higher resolution satellite
            imagery becomes available. Utilized imagery
            and derived products made available through
            the NASA Commercial Satellite Data
            Acquisition (CSDA) Program, NASA Marshall
            Space Flight Center, and the NASA Disasters
            Program.
