A storm survey was completed in Madison county,
Alabama just northeast of Meridianville. A tornado was determined
to have touched down just southwest of Patterson Lane and Mount
Lebanon Road where two irrigation systems were flipped over
and two large trees were uprooted. Several small trees were
also snapped on the east side of Mount Lebanon Road just south
of Patterson Lane. A large tree was uprooted on the south side
of Walker Lane, just east of highway 231/431. This damage is
consistent with an EF-0 tornado with maximum wind speeds of
70 mph. The estimated path length was 3.8 miles with an estimated
path width of 200 yards.
