March 13 2006 Cullman County Tornado
The below image with arrows, "image004-3.gif" indicates the scattered
tornado damage that occurred in Cullman county. The initial touch
down was along county road 501 about 13 miles south-southwest of
Cullman, just east of I-65, about 2 miles east-southeast of the
I-65 291 exit. The tornado initially knocked down a few trees in
this area and had a path length of 75 yards and a 50 yard path width.
Winds were at 70 mph, making it a F-0 tornado. The tornado lifted
and then touched down briefly again along county road 504, (attached
image) about 11 miles south of Cullman. The path length of the F-0
tornado with winds topping out at 60 mph was at 20 yards in length
and 20 yard width. The tornado again quickly lifted and then touched
down again about 4 miles northeast of the previous touch down, along
the north end of county road 506, about 9 miles southeast of Cullman.
The path length was again around 20 yards and path width at 20 yards.
Again, the tornado was an F-0 with max speeds at 60 mph.
