Rating: EF1 Estimated Peak Wind: 105 mph Path Length /statute/: 14.53 miles Path Width /maximum/: 400 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 03/15/2026 Start Time: 10:48 PM CDT Start Location: 1 W Lexington / Lauderdale County / AL Start Lat/Lon: 34.9671 / -87.3831 End Date: 03/15/2026 End Time: 11:04 PM CDT End Location: 1 E Minor Hill / Giles County / TN End Lat/Lon: 35.0368 / -87.1486 Survey Summary: A storm survey team determined that a tornado touched down in an open field west of Earnest Street and south of Highway 4 in Lexington. As it approached Earnest Street, it caused an open outdoor structure propped up on cinder blocks to slide to the north as well as snapped 4x4s and uprooted trees. The tornado tracked northeast toward Lexington City Hall and caused minor roof damage to five structures. Continuing northeast, the tornado uprooted numerous trees along Highway 64 before crossing highway 59. Along the way, multiple trees were snapped, homes had siding damage, several small open structures collapsed, and a garage door was blown in. It continued snapping and uprooting trees as it approached the state line. The tornado crossed the Tennessee/Alabama state line and moved northeast, continuing for 10 more miles in Tennessee. In Bonnertown, many residences were impacted, with several homes heavily damaged. A few manufactured homes were moved off their piers, and a couple mobile homes were lofted or slid, remaining in tact. Other structural damage included missing awnings, removed shingles, carports thrown, and trees falling onto the structures. Several farm outbuildings were damaged. Numerous trees were snapped or uprooted. Beyond Bonnertown, the tornado continued east along Appleton Road, downing trees and destroying a chicken farm roof. As the tornado crossed into Giles County, damage was mostly trees downed or uprooted, and branches snapped. A few structures were impacted in Giles County south to southwest of Minor Hill due to trees falling. A few metal farm outbuildings were also collapsed. The tornado ended quickly south-southeast of Minor Hill. We appreciate the assistance of Lauderdale EMA (AL), Lawrence EMA (TN), Giles EMA (TN) as well as the collaboration with the National Weather Service in Nashville to complete this 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.

The tornado continued northeast into Columbia, impacting neighborhoods and Columbia State Community College. Tree damage was noted frequently. Structural damage to homes was also noted, mainly to vinyl siding, shingles, and metal fascia. There was one building on Columbia State Community College that sustained roof damage, as well as fencing on the ball fields. Next in the damage path was an industrial area along the Duck River. Many trees were uprooted, snapped, or sustained many broken branches. Several buildings lost metal roofing, and one larger metal building system had a portion of the south facing wall caved in. The tornado then moved back into residential areas, causing occasional trees down or branches broken, shingle damage, and damage to vinyl siding.

Campbell. The details for this EF0 tornado are below. .Overview...Middle Tennessee was impacted by a strong storm system that brought widespread strong to severe thunderstorms during the evening and overnight hours of March 15, 2026. Storms produced damaging straight-line winds, isolated large hail, and three tornadoes. Strong non-thunderstorm wind gusts also occurred during that afternoon. A sharp cold front led to a drastic drop in temperatures the morning of March 16 which also brought accumulating snowfall to the Cumberland Plateau. ..Ft. Campbell/Oak Grove EF0...
