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.
