NWS meteorologists surveyed additional damage in Greene and Sumter Counties and determined that it was the result of straight line winds. A storm survey is scheduled tomorrow for Elmore, Tallapoosa, Macon, and Montgomery Counties. Additional surveys may be needed later this week. .Overview...A fast-moving squall line moved through Central Alabama late Saturday night ahead of a cold front. Very strong wind fields with the system resulted in widespread damaging straight line winds across Central Alabama, and all of Central Alabama was under at least a severe thunderstorm warning at some point during the event. Measured wind gusts were as high as 70 mph at the Montgomery Regional Airport. At least one tornado has been confirmed as well, with additional surveys needed in the coming days. .County Rd 10 EF-1 Tornado (Hale and Perry Counties)...

The start of the tornado was estimated to be just west of Alabama Highway 69, where tree damage was observed in an inaccessible area. The tornado continued eastward, moving parallel to County Road 10. Along the roadway, numerous trees were snapped or uprooted, along with at least 40 to 50 power poles snapped. A site built home sustained roof damage along with farm outbuildings that sustained significant damage. The tornado gained strength as it moved east of Alabama Highway 25, where EF-1 damage occurred. Multiple manufactured homes were severely damaged due to large trees falling on top of them, while another manufactured home was destroyed due to tornadic wind gusts estimated around 95mph. Residents who were inside the homes received the tornado warning on their mobile phones, and were able to quickly take as much shelter as they could. A mother and her two kids in one home took shelter in their bathtub, which ended up being the only room in the home that did not sustain major damage. 2 injuries occurred where the homes were damaged, and the maximum width was estimated to be 200 yards at this location. The tornado continued eastward and crossed Alabama Highway 61 into Perry County. Minor tree damage was noted along Jenkins Bryant Rd, and farm outbuildings sustained major damage along Perry County Rd 23. The tornado lifted along Lakeland Farm Rd, and no further damage was noted to the east. && 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. $$

Rating: EF1 Estimated Peak Wind: 95 mph Path Length /statute/: 18.37 miles Path Width /maximum/: 200 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 2 Start Date: 02/16/2025 Start Time: 12:52 AM CST Start Location: 4 S Cedarville / Hale County / AL Start Lat/Lon: 32.5582 / -87.6852 End Date: 02/16/2025 End Time: 01:10 AM CST End Location: 4 SW Marion / Perry County / AL End Lat/Lon: 32.5918 / -87.3753 Survey Summary: National Weather Service Meteorologists surveyed damage in southern Hale and Perry Counties and determined that the damage was consistent with a tornado. The start of the tornado was estimated to be just west of Alabama Highway 69, where tree damage was observed in an inaccessible area. The tornado continued eastward, moving parallel to County Road 10. Along the roadway, numerous trees were snapped or uprooted, along with at least 40 to 50 power poles snapped. A site built home sustained roof damage along with farm outbuildings that sustained significant damage. The tornado gained strength as it moved east of Alabama Highway 25, where EF-1 damage occurred. Multiple manufactured homes were severely damaged due to large trees falling on top of them, while another manufactured home was destroyed due to tornadic wind gusts estimated around 95mph. Residents who were inside the homes received the tornado warning on their mobile phones, and were able to quickly take as much shelter as they could. A mother and her two kids in one home took shelter in their bathtub, which ended up being the only room in the home that did not sustain major damage. 2 injuries occurred where the homes were damaged, and the maximum width was estimated to be 200 yards at this location. The tornado continued eastward and crossed Alabama Highway 61 into Perry County. Minor tree damage was noted along Jenkins Bryant Rd, and farm outbuildings sustained major damage along Perry County Rd 23. The tornado lifted along Lakeland Farm Rd, and no further damage was noted to the east. .Weogufka Tornado (Coosa County)... Rating: EF0 Estimated Peak Wind: 80 mph Path Length /statute/: 12.20 miles Path Width /maximum/: 250 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 02/16/2025 Start Time: 02:00 AM CST Start Location: 1 N Unity / Coosa County / AL Start Lat/Lon: 33.0251 / -86.3541 End Date: 02/16/2025 End Time: 02:12 AM CST End Location: 3 SW Parkdale / Coosa County / AL End Lat/Lon: 33.0701 / -86.1518 Survey Summary: The National Weather Service surveyed in northern Coosa County and determined the damage to be consistent with an EF-0 tornado. The tornado initially touched down along County Road 55, where a few softwood trees were downed. The tornado caused significant tree damage across a wooded area east of CR 55, with many uprooted trees. Along Prater Rd, several softwood trees sustained minor damage. From there, the tornado tracked east-northeast crossing County Road 29, just north of the Weogufka Family Worship Center. Here, several softwood trees were uprooted along with several homes that received minor damage. The tornado continued crossing County Road 41 where additional trees were uprooted and power lines were damaged due to the tree fall. The tornado then crossed Hwy 231 and 280, where softwood trees were both uprooted and snapped, and some additional tin shed damage was noted. .Barnesville Loop Tornado (Tallapoosa County)... Rating: EF1 Estimated Peak Wind: 90 mph Path Length /statute/: 1.79 miles Path Width /maximum/: 100 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 02/16/2025 Start Time: 02:42 AM CST Start Location: 3 SSW Still Waters Resort / Tallapoosa County / AL Start Lat/Lon: 32.6931 / -85.8422 End Date: 02/16/2025 End Time: 02:45 AM CST End Location: 3 SSE Still Waters Resort / Tallapoosa County / AL End Lat/Lon: 32.6982 / -85.8132 Survey Summary: National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in southern Tallapoosa County and determined that a brief EF- 1 tornado occurred within a broad area of straight line wind damage. Additional information was provided by a private property owner as well as satellite analysis for areas that were not accessible by roads.The tornado touched down in a remote area over private property east of Lovelady Road and south of AL Hwy 50. Approximately halfway between Lovelady Road and Barnesville Loop, an area of significant tree damage including multiple snapped and uprooted pines produced a TDS on KMXX radar. The tornado continued northeastward to Barnesville Loop, where another area of concentrated tree damage consisted of multiple snapped and uprooted trees. At this point, the tornado interacted with a second circulation that was accelerating in from the northwest, and the path of the tornado turned right as the two circulations interacted. While there was minimal damage along the eastern portion of Barnesville Loop, the circulation re- intensified as it crossed Murphy Dam Road and Murphy Lake. A tree was blown on to a home on East Murphy Lane. From there, the continuing TDS intensified over an area inaccessible to the NWS survey team, and satellite data is inconclusive with regards to tree damage any farther to the east. The tornado dissipated somewhere between East Murphy Lane and AL Highway 49 over private property. .Barganier Road Tornado (Macon County)... Rating: EF1 Estimated Peak Wind: 110 mph Path Length /statute/: 7.52 miles Path Width /maximum/: 450 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 02/16/2025 Start Time: 02:47 AM CST Start Location: 4 NNE Cecil / Macon County / AL Start Lat/Lon: 32.3484 / -85.9745 End Date: 02/16/2025 End Time: 02:54 AM CST End Location: 3 NE Cross Keys / Macon County / AL End Lat/Lon: 32.3552 / -85.8473 Survey Summary: National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in Macon County and determined that an EF-1 tornado occurred to the north of straight line wind damage within a bowing segment. The tornado began just east of the Macon/Montgomery county line, where a couple pines were snapped along Barganier Road. It continued moving eastward, reaching its peak intensity along County Road 2 and Keys Court where numerous hardwoods were snapped and uprooted a couple hundred yards south of the road. Several homes and outbuildings suffered roof damage as it paralleled County Road 20, before the tornado dissipated as it crossed County Road 13. && 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 events and publication in NWS Storm Data. $$
