The tornado moved to the east-northeast, paralleling Oak Ave and snapping large limbs from the tops of several trees. As it crossed N Summit St, a light pole was snapped, and large oak tree was snapped, falling on a home. The tornado appears to have lifted near the intersection of Oak Ave and N Church St. Outside of the narrow and concentrated path associated with the tornado, many large tree limbs were broken and this damage was determined to be from straight-line winds. Additionally, this tornado is believed to have started as a waterspout in Mobile Bay near the Fairhope Pier. Special thanks to Baldwin County EMA for their assistance with the survey. && EF Scale: The Enhanced Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes into the following categories: EF0.....65 to 85 mph EF1.....86 to 110 mph EF2.....111 to 135 mph EF3.....136 to 165 mph EF4.....166 to 200 mph EF5.....>200 mph NOTE: The information in this statement is preliminary and subject to change pending final review of the event and publication in NWS Storm Data. $$
