As the severe thunderstorms crossed into Jefferson County near West Jefferson and Adamsville, the outflow winds gusted into the 75 to 85 mph range. These winds produced significant tree damage moving east northeast. The storms affected areas from Gardendale and Warrior to Pinson. The damaging winds continued east northeastward into Blount County affecting areas from Locust Fork southward to the county line including Remlap. These damaging high winds continued eastward to near Highland Lakes. Thousands of trees were snapped off or were uprooted in this large area.
