NWS Meteorologists surveyed damage in southern Greene County between Boligee and Forkland and determined it was the result of an EF-1 tornado.
The tornado touched down west of Johnston Lake where some trees were snapped and uprooted. The tornado then impacted some mobile homes on Knott Rd. One mobile home there was rolled and destroyed. The tornado continued northeast across a heavily wooded area but then impacted homes and farm buildings near Taylor Branch. One house sustained minor roof and siding damage, but a mobile home farther east was completely destroyed with debris blown north into a tree line along County Rd 50. Residents were not home at the time. The tornado continued northeast impacting a nearby church at County Rd 50 and 72. Several homes near there sustained minor to significant roof damage on Develle Rd. The tornado continued northeast crossing County Roads 49, 20 and 148 where additional timber damage was observed at these locations. The tornado lifted near Taylor Creek before it could cross US Hwy 43.
