Rating: EF1 Estimated Peak Wind: 95 mph Path Length /statute/: 1.09 miles Path Width /maximum/: 800 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 01/25/2026 Start Time: 01:23 PM CST Start Location: 2 SSE Liberty / Walton County / FL Start Lat/Lon: 30.7907 / -86.2036 End Date: 01/25/2026 End Time: 01:25 PM CST End Location: 3 SE Liberty / Walton County / FL End Lat/Lon: 30.7905 / -86.1853 Survey Summary: A tornado touched down in Walton County just west of Kings Lake Road and traveled east through a neighborhood along and just north of Paradise Island Drive. The tornado then presumably crossed the northern portion of Kings Lake causing more tree damage to the east of the lake. Along most of the path, EF- 0 damage was observed. However, near the beginning of the patch two large trees were uprooted and rated EF-1. Near the end of the path, the tornado caused significant removal of the roofing material of a single family home. The porch was also badly damaged. Winds here were estimated at 95 mph, the highest found in this survey. The tornado then lifted quickly as there was no damage east of U.S 331 which is a swampy inaccessible area. .Geneva County Tornado... Rating: EF2 Estimated Peak Wind: 115 mph Path Length /statute/: 3.66 miles Path Width /maximum/: 900 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 01/25/2026 Start Time: 01:29 PM CST Start Location: Geneva / Geneva County / AL Start Lat/Lon: 31.0369 / -85.8784 End Date: 01/25/2026 End Time: 01:33 PM CST End Location: 2 E Eunola / Geneva County / AL End Lat/Lon: 31.0352 / -85.8175 Survey Summary: A tornado touched down in a western Geneva neighborhood causing mainly EF-1 damage between Campbell and Magnolia Avenues. EF- 2 damage occurred downtown on Commerce St. where roofing material was peeled off three adjacent low-rise buildings. After crossing a swampy area, a significant number of snapped trees were observed on either side of the SR 52 bridge over the Choctawhatchee River. The tornado continued east causing sporadic damage on McDougald St. in Eunola, Spring Creek Road, and East CR 4 before lifting near Spring Creek itself. Both EF-2 areas had maximum winds of 115 mph. .Northeast Houston County... Rating: EF1 Estimated Peak Wind: 88 mph Path Length /statute/: 8.80 miles Path Width /maximum/: 300 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 01/25/2026 Start Time: 01:52 PM CST Start Location: 1 WSW Pleasant Plains / Houston County / AL Start Lat/Lon: 31.3001 / -85.2439 End Date: 01/25/2026 End Time: 02:09 PM CST End Location: 1 ESE Columbia / Houston County / AL End Lat/Lon: 31.2839 / -85.0995 Survey Summary: This tornado began west of Center Church Road where it snapped large hardwood tree branches and removed several shingles off of a manufactured home. It continued to push east-southeast to Bill Yance Road where it snapped a few softwood tree trunks. It then crossed highway 52 where it continued to snap large softwood tree branches and slightly bent a street sign just off of highway 52. As it continued to move eastward to across county road 95, it continued to snap softwood tree limbs. Thereafter, the tornado pushed east southeast to across River Road where it partially collapsed a tin RV car port and snapped a few software tree trunks, before lifting just before the Georgia state line. Damage was consistent with an EF1 tornado with winds of approximately 88mph. && 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. $$
