1.6 | 50 | 0 | 1 | 4.2 SW White Hall-3 SW White Hall National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed the damage across northwestern Lowndes County. It was determined that the damage was the result of a tornado that has been rated F1 on the Fujita Scale. The tornado first touched down near Mount Gillard Church, near the Intersection of US 80 and CR 17 around 652 AM CDT. It stayed on the ground for only about a minute, before lifting around 653 AM CDT. The total path length was 1.6 miles with a width of 50 yards at its widest point.

This tornado, with winds estimated around 100 mph, uprooted or snapped dozens of trees, damaged 2 mobile homes severely...produced minor damage to 3 homes and caused severe roof damage to another home. The side of one of the mobile homes was breached by an unidentified piece of debris, resulting in a 7 foot by 3 foot hole. The most substantial damage to a home consisted of approximately one third of the roof being blown off, which resulted in the partial collapse of an exterior wall. One middle aged man was injured in this home but did not seek medical treatment. Start: 32.2800/-86.7800 End: 32.3000/-86.7700 |

17.1 | 200 | 0 | 0 | 11.7 S Ashland-1.2 NE Wadley National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed the tornado damage that started over extreme northern Tallapoosa County, about 2.2 miles northwest of Goldville. It appears the tornado began at 614 AM CDT. There was F0 damage, in the form of scattered tree damage, from Vine Road just south of the Clay County Line, east to near Highway 49. The damage increased to F1 damage along Highway 49, especially to the southeast of the highway. There were several dozen trees snapped and uprooted, with many signs of convergence in the pattern of fallen trees. There were a few broken windows in two houses, and one house had its carport lifted up off most of its support columns. In the same area of concentrated damage, four chicken houses sustained significant roof damage, and the tin was blown down the tornado track for about 100 yards. The chicken houses were just north of the county line, in Clay County. The tornado damage path was about 200 yards wide at this point. This damage occurred around 618 AM CDT. The tornado path continued to the east with more trees blown down along the Tallapoosa Clay County Line, including across Simpson Road and County Road 79. As it crossed County Road 79, around 627 AM CDT, the damage was along the Tallapoosa Randolph County Line. The damage path entered extreme northwest Chambers County, around 630 AM, along and north of Highway 22. At this point the tornado track ran parallel to Highway 22 all the way to Wadley, on a northeast track. Three brick buildings were significantly damaged in downtown Wadley, about 100 yards north of the Highway 22/77 intersection, on the east side of Highway 77. The southern most building, built in 1925, sustained a fire several years ago and was condemned. The fire had gutted the two-story building, and only the four walls were left standing. There was no roof on this building and it was taller than the two adjacent and attached buildings. The tornado significantly damaged at least two of the walls, and the top of the building toppled over onto the adjacent buildings, causing more damage. Since the integrity of the building had already been compromised, it was determined the damage was consistent with F0/F1 wind speeds.
