Madison County, AL and Lincoln County, TN Survey Summary
TORNADO DAMAGE
Representatives from the National Weather Service re-evaluated
storm damage that was initially considered straight-lined
wind damage 3 miles east-northeast of the Toney community.
It was determined that this small area of damage was indeed
tornado damage, which stretched from near the Macedonia Church
just north of Stateline Road in Lincoln County southeast to
one mile southeast of Five Points near Grimwood Road in Northwest Madison County.
This small tornado developed in a supercell thunderstorm
within a line of thunderstorms which moved southeast from
Lincoln County to northern Madison County. The damage path
width of the tornado was between 50 and 75 yards along a 7
mile path. The maximum wind speed of the tornado was determined
to be 60 miles per hour, which classifies the tornado as a
EF-0 on the new Enhanced Fujita Scale. |

STRAIGHT LINE WIND DAMAGE Futher south, straight line
wind damage was re-confirmed in northeast portions of Huntsville,
to Maysville in Madison County. Most damage was consistent
with straight-line winds of up to 70 mph. Several trees were
snapped or down along this stretch, causing minor damage to
a few residences.
Some of the straight line wind damage is shown in the pictures
below.
