2 E - 3 ENE Bladon Springs  
After reviewing sentinel satellite imagery available on 12/18/22, the determination has been made that the segment of the original surveyed tornado track from Blue Dirt Road to Highway 84 was a separate EF2 tornado with peak winds of 115mph. The original tornado occluded a few minutes prior to the genesis of this tornado. A remarkable gradient at the point of genesis was noted by the survey team in a field of snapped/uprooted trees, where trees went from untouched to numerous snaps of softwood trees in as little as 5 to 10 feet. Based on sentinel satellite imagery, the tornado maintained intensity, perhaps slightly strengthening as it moved off to the northeast of Blue Dirt Road where significant deforestation was noted in an approximate 120 yard swath. At the tornadoes halfway point, it likely weakened to an EF0/EF1 as it passed by a field with no notable tree damage on satellite imagery. Once the tornado reached Highway 84, it was a very weak EF0 that uprooted a couple softwood trees, lifting at that location.

2 W Silver Cross - 1 ENE Bladon Springs  
An EF2 tornado has been confirmed in far northern Washington into southeastern Choctaw Counties. The tornado touched down as an EF0 along Dry Creek Road where a few trees were uprooted. The next available road was along County Road 31 where significant tree damage occurred to the north of Frankville. Numerous trees were snapped or uprooted in a 120 yard swath. Significant snapping and deforestation seemed evident looking further southwest along the track; however, this area was inaccessible at the time and required satellite data to confirm the degree of damage.

1 NNE - 5 NE Ward  
NWS Birmingham storm survey team assessed damage in Ward and found evidence of an EF-1 tornado. The tornado touched down west of County Rd 9 where timber damage was observed from the highway. The tornado then damaged two homes near Chapel Branch. Each sustained varying degrees of roof damage, mostly minor. Timber damage in this area was also blown in varying directions, mostly westward. One home had roof material peeled away and was lofted to the northwest, and the porch had been lifted. A couple of nearby farm structures had roof and minor structural damage with debris lofted to the north. The tornado then continued northeast crossing Gully Rd where addition non-divergent timber damage was observed. The next accessible road was Hwy 17 and Wright Rd where additional timber damage was observed, though of a lesser degree. No observable damage was found downstream of Wright Rd though road access was limited. No damage was found upstream of Ward on Charles Spur Rd or Ward Rd 16, near the Choctaw County line.

3 NE Tyler Crossroads - 3 NE Texasville  
An EF0 tornado touched down in a field on the west side of County Road 41 at approximately 6:06 AM. As the tornado crossed CR 53, a few pine tree tops were snapped. The tornado continued eastward to the intersection of AL Highway 131 and CR 20, where another top of a pine tree was snapped and fell into the roadway of AL Hwy 131, causing a motor vehicle accident. Large limbs were broken to the north of AL Hwy 131 and west of CR 20. From there the tornado paralleled AL Hwy 131 as it traveled east before striking a chicken farm. It caused significant damage to all 4 chicken houses, with large sections of barn roofing removed and blown as much as 200 yards. The tornado continued across the farm through mainly open fields uprooting a few large trees, and then causing minor damage to a riding arena and the farmhouse. The tornado crossed CR 67 and uprooted a few pine trees before dissipating quickly.

1 W Boyleston - 1 ESE Blue Ridge  
The tornado began in southwest Elmore County west of the Alabama River Parkway where an outbuilding and retaining wall were damaged. It crossed the Alabama River into Montgomery County north of the toll bridge downing trees north of the Alabama River Parkway. It continued east-northeastward, downing trees along Coosada Ferry Road. It strengthened as it reached Williams Drive, where part of the roof of a shop was removed and an unanchored manufactured home was rolled over with the occupant suffering minor injuries. The tornado continued to snap and uproot trees along Williams Drive, while a manufactured home and a residence suffered roof damage. Just west of Franson Road two manufactured homes were completely destroyed with debris blown downstream. One manufactured home had some evidence of straps but the occupancy status of both are unknown. As the tornado moved into the Flatwood community, many homes had roof damage and damage from falling trees. Unfortunately an uprooted tree fell on a manufactured home, resulting in two fatalities and one serious injury. The concrete masonry unit community center also suffered collapse of all exterior walls. The tornado crossed Lower Wetumpka Road twice, continuing to snap and uproot trees and cause roof damage, with one home suffering complete roof loss. A couple wooden transmission line poles fell north of Anderson Road. The tornado then crossed the Tallapoosa River back into Elmore County. An impressive swath of trees were downed on the west side of Highway 231. The tornado continued northeastward along Jasmine Hill Road and Willow Springs Road, where several homes were damaged from falling trees. The tornado finally dissipated south of Willow Springs Road east of Ross Ridge Lane.

3 SSE Knobtown - 3 N Seaboard  
The tornado began near Highway 57 in Greene County where several softwood tree trunks were snapped. It continued on an east northeast track producing damage along Nursery Road. The track continued into Washington County Alabama. The tornado crossed Highway 45 and hit Fruitdale High School where windows were damaged along with roof damage to the school and nearby houses. Widespread tree and power line damage was also observed in the Fruitdale area. The damage in Fruitdale is estimated to have been in the high EF-1 range with winds 105-110 mph. The tornado continued northeast and strengthened as it approached Baxter McIllwain Road. This is where the tornado reached peak intensity. Based on the ground survey, a nearly 500 yard swath of major tree damage was observed with countless hardwood and softwood trees destroyed. The EF-3 peak intensity (140 mph) is based on this swath of major tree damage. The tornado continued to track eastward through Tibbie with more significant to major tree damage (EF-2 intensity), along with roof damage observed along Leo and Boyd Willie Parnell Road. The tornado weakened as it moved east across Howardtown Road and dissipated east of Clarke Place Road.

5 NNW - 6 NNW Eastaboga  
NWS Birmingham storm survey team assessed timber damage in a relatively localized area on Mudd Street. Timber damage consisted of several uprooted trees, several snapped trunks and several trees having large branches removed from their tops. All debris and tree fall was oriented N to NNE. Although this was a short-lived tornado and short path, overall damage is consistent with a brief EF-0 tornado with max wind of 75 mph. The tornado began near the intersection of Mayfield Rd and Mitchellville Rd then moved northeast toward Mudd St where the most severe damage occurred at two residences. Two homes also sustained minor roof damage. The tornado likely dissipated as it moved into a heavily wooded area as no further damage was observed at downstream road crossings. This event is also associated with evidence of a TDS off of KBMX RADAR, originating directly downstream from the damage location.

3 SW Sweet Water - 2 NNW Magnolia  
The tornado began in a wooded area southeast of County Road 6 to the southwest of Sweet Water in southern Marengo County. Tree damage was initially minor as it moved northeastward, with portions of roofs removed from a couple outbuildings as well as a patio overhang from a residence along Dogwood Lane and County Road 7. Damage was barely discernible as it moved northeast across Highway 10, but the tornado intensified as it crossed Sweetwater Creek. Numerous trees were snapped near Wayne Road; one of which was blown into and damaged the exterior wall of a doublewide manufactured home where a resident was not injured. Damage to the manufactured home probably would have been much worse if it had not been well-anchored and had its roof attached with clips. A camper was also moved several feet. The tornado continued to snap and uproot trees as it crossed Union Grove Road and caused shingle and window damage to a residence. Tree damage was minor across Highway 43, but the tornado intensified again as it crossed Pillie Road and County Road 73. The tornado removed the roof from an addition to a manufactured home along County Road 47 before dissipating prior to reaching Highway 25.

3 E Mount Olive - Locust Fork  
A NWS Birmingham storm survey team found damage in the Locust Fork area of Blount County consistent with an EF-0 tornado. The tornado potentially formed formed in a heavily wooded area near the Locust Fork River, just west of Standridge Trail. The first observable damage was in the area of Standridge Trail where minor timber damage occurred. Two barns sustained roof damage and one camper trailer was rolled and destroyed. The tornado continued east toward Deaver Walker and Campbell Roads. The circulation was fairly broad. Most damage consisted of sporadic tree fall, either uproots or the occasional snapped trunk. Most locations along Campbell Rd had large branches taken out of trees. A few structures had minor roof damage with at least two structures damaged by tree fall. The tornado moved generally east across Tabernacle Rd and County Rd 13 producing additional sporadic and minor timber damage. The tornado dissipated before crossing Hwy 79 as no observable damage was found downstream of there. Given the weak nature of the circulation, most if not all damage was on the right side with debris facing in a N to NE direction indicating non-divergent damage relative to path. No damage was found on the north side of the damage path.

1 S I-20 Rest Area Eutaw - 2 SSE Moundville Airport  
An NWS Birmingham storm survey team assessed damage from near Eutaw to Oak Village to Stewart and found damage consistent with an EF-1 tornado. The tornado is believed to have touched down in an inaccessible area west of Eutaw before shortly after crossing Green County Rd 131 where it impacted the Sagewood Apartment complex. The most significant damage here was to the northern-most unit where the majority of the roof structure was peeled away and blown into the nearby tree line. Adjacent units only showed minor damage to shingles and to siding. Nearby timber damage was also not particularly intense, though there was a variety of sporadic uproots and trunk snaps. It was for this reason that an EF-2 rating was not assigned to the tornado despite the significant roof damage to one unit. Timber and powerline damage in this area was consistent with low-end EF-1. The tornado continued east-northeast toward Hwy 14 where additional timber and power line damage was observed. Several homes sustained minor roof damage on Kirkwood Ln or were more significantly damaged by tree fall. The tornado crossed US Hwy 11 causing further timber damage. The tornado continue northeast toward the Black Warrior Rover. There is approximately 6 miles of tornado path that is inaccessible for this reason. The next section of observable damage was in Hale County in the Oak Village Community northwest of Akron. Several homes sustained significant damage near the river front where impressive timber damage was observed. Timber was observed to be blow down across the river as well. The tornado continued northeast toward Stewart where additional timber damage was observed along Hwy 42. A home sustained roof damage on Mileous Chapel Rd. Near this area timber damage became very diverse in direction and damage intensity. It also was at its widest point of the survey, around 1,200 yards. Based on the nature of the damage it is believed to have been in a multi vortex state. The tornado then continued northeast and began to weaken as minor timber damage occurred on Massey Loop Rd. The tornado dissipated shortly after crossing AL Hwy 69.

Spanish Fort  
An EF1 tornado began in the Spanish Fort area of Baldwin County with peak winds of 90mph. This tornado likely began near or just southwest of Waites Lane where it snapped and uprooted a couple hardwood trees. The tornado was intermittently touching down, lifting briefly after this first point, before once again touching down to the northeast after crossing Spanish Fort Blvd moving onto the City Hall property. Here it snapped a couple of pines and uprooted a hardwood tree. The tornado likely went further northeast, but damage became rather sporadic.

The tornado likely began south of Daphne Ave where light tree debris was noted. Sporadic light wind damage was noted before this location. The tornado then crossed Daphne Ave where it brought down a couple hardwoods including a couple significant snaps. However, the health of the trees were in question and given the lack of other damage indicators, especially to healthier trees, a lower bound damage rating was designated. A convergent path was noted here. albeit weak, it was noticeable. The tornado then crossed Randall Ave with some tree branches snapped and one uproot. One home lost some shingles before the tornado likely lifted north of Randall Ave.

2 SSE Point Clear  
A very brief EF0 tornado with peak winds of around 85 mph touched down off of Scenic Highway 98 by James Lowe Lane in southwestern Baldwin County. The tornado uprooted a hardwood tree, shifted a wooden carport off its holding blocks, and shifted a loaded trailer approximately 20 feet from its resting position at this location. Damage was confirmed to be from a tornado thanks to video by local residents. Sporadic wind damage was observed in the surrounding area, and it is possible the tornado began before this point and continued further north, but limited access to roads made it difficult to assess.

1 ESE Forest Hill - 2 S Eight Mile  
A weak EF-0 tornado with peak winds of 75 mph likely began in Pine Grove along Threemile Creek and quickly moved north across Moffett Road where a tornado debris signature became apparent on radar. This tornado continued along Pine Grove Avenue where a couple of older/dead trees were knocked down and healthier large tree limbs were knocked down at the intersection of Pine Grove Avenue and Pringle Drive. Due to limited road access north of this point, the rest of the tornadoes path is approximated based on radar tornado debris signature and rotational velocity. It is likely the tornado ended just to the southeast of Laidlaw Lane prior to reaching Wolf Ridge Road.

2 SSE Bon Secour - Bon Secour  
Additional surveys and satellite imagery shows that the Tornado likely began as a waterspout over Oyster Bay and crossed Oyster Bay rd. A swath of tall grass was flatted as it crossed the road as the tornado tracked through a heavily forested area southeast of County Road 6. The tornado was likely weak or discontinuous through the wooded area. The tornado then quickly tracked northwest where the first damage was reported. A barn lost most of its tin roofing and several large hard and softwood branches were snapped. The tornado intensified as it crossed County Road 6 where a couple large hardwoods and softwoods uprooted. Peak intensity occurred just north of County Road 6 where a manufactured home was rolled and completely destroyed. 3 individuals were inside the home and were transported to the hospital with minor injuries. A pontoon boat on a trailer was dragged about 30 yards and deposited on a stump causing the boat to shift on the trailer. A few hard and softwood snaps were also located at the area. The tornado then continued on northeast causing minor tree damage. The tornado then crossed the Bon Secour river causing minor damage to a construction site and minor tree damage. The Tornado likely lifted shortly after with sporadic wind damage noted along Bon Secour highway.

Tornado likely began in a field to the southwest the Pecan Terrace subdivision and moved north-northeast as it crossed Old Pascagoula Rd. The damage was predominantly confined to trees and fences as the tornado moved toward Dep Busby Rd. The tornado then moved across open fields and cotton fields for about a mile and a half. The tornado moved across the Labrador Trail subdivision with significant damage to fences with shingle and soffit/fascia damage noted on many homes in the neighborhood. Several sheds in the neighborhood were also damaged. The tornado then crossed another large field before moving across Dawes Creek Drive and Dawes Oak Drive. A home along Dawes Oak Drive had two south-facing windows pushed in and broken with roof damage, which prompted the low-end EF-1 rating for this point. The tornado continued off to the north-northeast as it crossed Three Notch Road. The tornado likely lifted near Dawes Lane N given the lack of damage to the north of this road.

3 SE - 1 NE - Neshota  
An EF-0 tornado came onshore near the southern end of Mobile Downtown Airport. The start point of this is based on visual confirmation of the tornado via pictures and video. The tornado crossed parts of the airport, with no notable damage being reported. As the tornado tracked northwest, it moved across South Broad Street where it removed branches from trees and damaged some fencing. The final observable damage point was on Avenue C where metal roofing was removed from a building, with the metal canopy/overhang collapsed at the end of the building. The tornado may have continued slightly north-northwest of this point, but the area was inaccessible due to limited road access.

2 WNW Laurendine - 1 WSW Theodore  
An EF-0 tornado likely began just to the south of Government Boulevard near Theodore tracking north across the area. The beginning point of the tornado is estimated by a radar confirmed debris signature that started in a heavily wooded area to the south of Government Boulevard. The tornado crossed Government Blvd and tracked up through Tung Avenue West where some minor tree damage occurred with numerous limbs knocked down and a fence was blown over. The tornado continued across Oakane Drive where minor shingle damage occurred to homes. At this point the tornado likely lifted with no further damage reports to the north.

5 NNW Eva - 5 SSE Somerville   
A tornado touched down on the south side of Wilson Mountain Rd just south of the intersection with Key Turney Rd in Falkville, AL. The tornado snapped a couple of hardwood trees and did minor roof damage to a mobile home near its touchdown point. The tornado crossed Wilson Mountain Rd, heading generally in a NE direction and snapped and uprooted trees along its path. One of these hardwood trees fell on a shed at a residence on the north side of Wilson Mountain Rd. A few snapped and uprooted trees were observed along its path as it descended into Devils Cellar Hollow. A couple of large trees were also uprooted to the NE of there along a small section of Jewel Lesalle Ln. This was the last point damage was evident as the tornado moved into rugged, nearly inaccessible terrain. Satellite and drone footage may indicate further damage in these heavily wooded areas and this track may change pending acquisition of future imagery. Special thanks to Morgan County, AL EMA for their assistance in this survey.

An EF-0 tornado touched down near an open-walled garage and caused minor roof damage to the metal roofing panels. The tornado then tracked north-northwest, crossing CR-34 and directly hitting an open-walled chicken house. While most of the roof was damaged, the open walls allowed for the tornado to more easily loft portions of the roof and cause damage to metal roofing panels, so a lower-end estimate of 70 mph was given. This was the maximum width identifiable in the damage pattern for the weak tornado, as roughly two-thirds of the building had roof damage. The tornado then continued north-northwest, uprooting a few trees before rapidly lifting. Due to waterlogged soils from antecedent heavy rainfall, a low-end wind estimate of 73 mph was provided for the uprooted trees. Overall, the tornado lasted less than a minute as it tracked a quarter-mile from south-southeast to the north-northwest embedded within a QLCS.

2 SSW Eutaw - 2 SSE Moundville  
NWS meteorologists have confirmed via damage survey that a relatively long track QLCS tornado moved through Greene and Hale Counties. The tornado formed just southwest of the Branch Heights community on the south side of Eutaw. It moved northeast across Joseph Wilder Circle causing minor roof and tree damage. It began to intensify as it moved northeastward, removing a portion of the roof of the housing authority building, and reached its maximum intensity as it moved along Levi Morrow Sr Court. At least 40 residences in the community suffered at least visible shingle damage, with a couple residences suffering loss of much of their roofs. The tornado continued northeast, causing roof damage to a business along Highway 43, and snapping and uprooting multiple trees in a park as it crossed Highway 14 and at the Finches Ferry boat landing. The tornado then moved into Hale County through an inaccessible area east of the Black Warrior River. In Akron, several trees were uprooted and an apartment building suffered minor roof damage. The tornado continued to cause occasional tree damage as it moved just north of Highway 60. Multiple trees were then uprooted along Cedarwood Road. After this point, discerning the tornado path from sporadic tree damage caused by straight line winds in the bowing segment became difficult, but the tornado appears to have dissipated prior to crossing Highway 69.

1 NNW Petrey  
After extensive analysis of data provided by PERiLs, sentinel satelite imagery, and third-party pressure data in conjunction with multiple surrounding radars it has been determined that another tornado occurred 1 mile NNW of Petrey, AL on 4/5/2022. This tornado was associated with the line segment that was moving through the area roughly 25 minutes after the intial tornado producing supercell. During the initial storm survey there were several discrepancies noted in the overall damage path that did not quite line up with the initial tornado path including snapped/uprooted trees by a pond and the damage done to the southern portion of the chicken houses. Given the overlapping paths and likely similar start points, it is impossible to determine what the true intensity, path width, path length, and end point of this tornado was. The beginning time of the tornado is estimated by radar and third party pressure data. Special thanks to all parties involved for providing invaluable data that supported this determination.

1 NNW Franklin - 4 WNW Uphapee Creek 
A small but clearly discernible tornado touched down just 4.9 miles south of the KMXX radar along Alabama Highway 49 in the Franklin community. A few small limbs were broken in trees just east of Hwy49 just east of the road. The tornado moved somewhat erratically northeastward, crossed largely harvested forest fields as it approached Macon County Road 36, breaking a few large tree limbs or causing a few trees to be left leaning into others. The narrow tornado continued across open fields before breaking large limbs on trees along Chewacla Creek. After crossing the creek, the tornado crossed the site of the historic Tuskegee Army Airfield, intermittently snapping or uprooting numerous young softwood trees, and continued across Macon County Road 56. The tornado then seemed to intensify somewhat as it approached Alabama Highway 199, where 10 to 20 mature pine trees were snapped. The tornado quickly weakened and dissipated just east of Hwy 199 in the vicinity of Bulger Creek.

The tornado touched down just south of County Road 1101 to the west of Ansley where it produced minor damage to vegetation. As it moved northeast, it crossed County Road 1101 where several softwood trunks were snapped. The tornado then moved nearly parallel to County Road 1107 where it began to topple and snap swaths of softwood trees, some of which fell on and caused significant damage to a residence. The tornado also produced minor roof damage to additional nearby homes and shifted a manufactured home off of its block piers. The tornado then continued tracking northeast through mostly wooded area where it likely began to intensify. A guyed transmission tower was toppled followed by widespread and continuous swaths of snapped pine trees as the tornado continued towards then crossed AL 94. A home on Chandler Road sustained roof damage, and a metal barn was also destroyed. The tornado continued to produce extensive tree damage and minor damage to homes as it crossed Highway 231.

A brief yet strong EF2 tornado occurred on 4/5/22 in Crenshaw County by Petrey, AL at 10:56 AM CDT. The tornado began just before Lapine Highway where it uprooted and snapped several softwood trees. The tornado crossed the Highway, gradually widening and causing some damage to the roof of a church while continuing to snap and uproot softwood trees. The tornado quickly impacted a chicken farm off of Shady Grove Road where one chicken house was completely destroyed supporting the initial EF2 damage location. As the tornado continued northeast, the radius of EF2 winds widened considerably. Winds peaked around 125 mph in the adjacent forest resulting in complete devastation of approximately 20 to 30 acres of trees where numerous snapped softwoods and snapped or uprooted hardwoods were observed. As the tornado approached Smith Chapel Road, it began to quickly shrink in size and weaken uprooting or snapping a handful of trees with no notable damage after it crossed the road.

2 NNE Bladon Springs - 3 W Mcentyre 
A strong EF2 tornado touched down on the Choctaw County side of the Tombigbee River on 4/5/22 at 9:03 AM CDT. Aerial survey revealed the tornado rapidly widened and intensified as it crossed the river, reaching its peak intensity and width on the Clarke County side at 130 mph and 800 yards in width. The forest along and east of the river was mowed down with countless hardwood and softwood trees snapped/uprooted. The tornado continued towards West Bend Road where it produced EF1 damage over a wide swath around 550 yards wide. The tornado entered a very distinct multi vortex phase with three notable convergent damage patterns with snapped softwood/hardwood trees at this point. This continued east-northeast to Highway 69 where the tornado remained somewhere between 500 to 600 yards wide as a multi-vortex doing EF1 damage, snapping several hardwoods/softwoods and causing some minor to moderate roof damage to homes. As the tornado moved northeast towards Bethel Road, it weakened and narrowed in size considerably only doing a small swath of EF0 damage. The tornado then turned right towards the east and re-intensified into an EF1 at Friendship Road with winds upwards of 95 mph as it snapped several softwood trees. After this, the tornado weakened quickly coming to an end on Smyer Road where only a couple snapped softwood trees were noted. A special thanks to Alabama Law Enforcement Agency and Clarke County EMA for conducting the aerial survey to help ascertain the peak width and intensity of the tornado.

1 NW - 1 N Camden   
The tornado began along Mayo street in Camden where a couple trees were uprooted. The tornado quickly intensified as it moved Northeast across Broad St. with numerous uprooted large hardwood and softwood trees. A strong convergent pattern was noted at this location. Peak intensity occurred as it crossed Pine Ridge Road and Rolling Hills Dr. where several large hardwoods were snapped and most other trees were uprooted. The tornado than began to weaken as it crossed Highway 10. The tornado lifted just northeast of Elizabeth Avenue but not before causing damage to a small barn and uprooting some trees. Significant wind damage still occurred along Elizabeth avenue southeast of the circulation where several large hardwoods were uprooted or snapped. However, this was determined to be straight-line wind damage given divergent pattern to the damage right of the parent circulation.

1.7 SSW Tillmans Corner - 1.4 NE Tillmans Corner  
The tornado began near Rabbit Creek Drive and progressed northeast over Rangeline Road, snapping several power poles along the way. Strong straight-line winds, likely nearing 100 mph, snapped several other power poles along a half mile stretch of Rangeline Road south of the main circulation. It continued northeast on Rabbit Creek Drive and caused minor damage to roofs (missing shingles) and tree damage. Several trees were snapped and a street sign was knocked down with another bent. The most significant damage occurred near the Dog River, where multiple trees were snapped near the base and some were uprooted. At least a couple more power poles were snapped near the top, likely due to a combination of trees falling on the lines and tornadic winds.

5 SW Oakmulgee - University of Montevallo 
NWS meteorologists confirmed a tornado damage path from northeast Perry County to far southwest Shelby County. The tornado began near the intersection of SR 183 and SR 219 near Adler. Tree damage was observed, of which became quite significant along Barnette Road and Whitetail Road where a wide swath of large pine trees were snapped. Several camper units belonging to a hunting club were also rolled or destroyed with debris blown downwind. The tornado then continued northeastward, causing additional timber damage consisting of uprooted and snapped trees. A few residences had damage either caused directly by wind or fallen trees. A secondary area of significant and widespread tree damage was observed just south of Highway 82 near Trio. Trees were uprooted and snapped over a distance of one-half mile in width. The tornado then continued to the northeast, causing additional timber damage. A few homes were damaged in Wilton, in the area of Church Street due to fallen trees. The tornado dissipated over the University of Montevallo campus where a few trees were blown over, several windows were blown out and some roofing damage was seen on a few buildings. An aerial survey was conducted across portions of Shelby, Bibb, and Perry Counties on 4/12/22. Significant timber damage was observed and photographed, mainly in southeast Bibb and northeast Perry Counties. This area is in the Oakmulgee Ranger District of the Talladega National Forest. Though it's hard to assess how many trees were blown down, it's clear that tens of thousands of hardwood and softwood trees were snapped and uprooted along the tornado's path during max intensity. Some embedded trunks were left at least partially debarked. Due to the widespread nature of the timber damage, including some 300-400 yard wide sections of complete blow-down, the rating of this tornado has been upgraded to EF3 with estimated peak winds of 145 mph. The max width was expanded to 1200 yards. NWS Birmingham would like to send special thanks to Shelby County Sheriff's Office for their assistance on this aerial survey.

1 WNW Souwilpa - Half Acre
An EF1 tornado began just southwest of Southern Choctaw High School snapping multiple hardwood and softwood trees.  The tornado continued tracking northeast, both widening and strengthening impacting several homes and snapping/uprooting multiple trees and snapping powerlines as it crossed Highway 17.  The tornado continued tracking northeast causing more sporadic  damage and into Marengo County.  A swath of damage was surveyed in western Nanafalia and determined to be consistent with a strong tornado which originated in Choctaw County before crossing into extreme southwest Marengo County. A corridor of uprooted softwood trees was first observed near the Marengo County line where the trees were toppled across Blue Rock Road. The tornado tracked northeast where additional damage was surveyed near the intersection of AL Highway 69 and County Road 9. This area contained the highest degree and widest swath of damage noted on the survey where the tornado was likely at its strongest. There were considerable and continuous swaths of uprooted hardwood and softwood trees in addition to multiple snapped trunks. A manufactured home on County Rd 9 was completely destroyed as the undercarriage rolled at least 30 yards from its foundation. A brick home next door also sustained roof damage not only from the winds, but also from a tree which fell onto the bedroom. The tornado continued northeast where it removed large portions of the roof and exterior walls from a single family residence on Highway 10. Other nearby residences sustained minor damage in addition to continued tree damage. After the tornado crossed Highway 10, it nearly paralleled AL Highway 69 as it continued northeast. Eventually the tornado reached Half Acre Circle where multiple trees were uprooted and a few residences sustained minor damage. On County Road 17, an abandoned and structurally unstable manufactured home was rolled onto its side. At this point, observed damage indicated that the tornado was likely weakening before it eventually lifted in the woods just to the east of Half Acre.

2 SSW Kirk - 2 E Brownville
The tornado began in a wooded area southwest of Benevola Road, south of Gordo in northeast Pickens County. It began to snap and uproot trees as it crossed Snider Road, also causing roof damage to a residence and shed. The tornado continued to snap and uproot trees as it began to parallel Benevola Road, blowing off the roof of a barn that was being constructed. It reached its first maximum in intensity as it approached the Kirk community, snapping and uprooting many trees, with at least one falling on a home. It continued to damage sheds and damaged the roof of a manufactured home. The tornado began to decrease in intensity as it moved northeast towards Highway 82, but continued to down trees and caused minor roof damage to some homes along Highway 82. It appeared to increase again in intensity as it approached the intersection of Boyd Road and Upper Columbus Road in the Echola community, snapping and uprooting more trees and collapsing a couple chicken houses. The tornado continued to snap trees as it crossed the Sipsey River, dissipating just before reaching Highway 171.

1 N Old Mallard Airport - Livingston
NWS Birmingham storm survey team identified an EF-1 tornado damage path in southwest Sumter County. The tornado is believed to have touched down somewhere near Greenwood Rd and Interstate 20. This area was heavily wooded and inaccessible, leaving the exact touchdown point estimated by radar. However, timber damage was found along portions of Greenwood Rd and Interstate 20 where swaths of snapped and uprooted trees were observed from the highway. This associates with a tornado debris signature seen on KBMX and KGWX RADARs. The tornado continued northeast crossing County Rd 12 where additional trees were snapped and uprooted. The tornado then moved between Livingston Country Club and Livingston Park before dissipating near the UWA campus on Lake Dr.

2 NW Lou
The storm produced likely straight line wind damage east of Alabama SR 17 in Gilbertown. Sporadic tree damage was noted along Clarke Road, Barrytown Road, and Mosley Bridge Road. The storm continued to progress to the northeast for six miles and eventually produced a high-end EF-1 tornado near Pleasant Hill Road. Numerous trees were uprooted and snapped in the area. The roof of a manufactured home was damaged partially due to wind and snapped trees. The manufactured home was shifted off its foundation and the nearby carport and shed were heavily damaged. The tornado went on to lift the metal roof off the back end of a nearby home. This resulted in substantial loss of its roofing. In addition, the force of the wind moving through the home pushed the front walls outward and blew out the front windows and part of the roof frame. The debris from the home was lofted into the tops of the trees across the road, with metal wrapped around trees. While this was determined to be a short-lived tornado, its path could have extended farther northeast; however, the survey team could not assess any further damage due to the lack of road access.

4 NNW Bankhead Lock and Dam - 4 SE Whitson
A brief EF-0 tornado was confirmed in northeast Tuscaloosa County along the Yellow Creek tributary of Bankhead Lake. The tornado formed in a wooded area southwest of Williams Camp Road. It uprooted and snapped some trees in a narrow convergent path as it crossed Williams Camp Road twice. Along the lake, several homes had minor roof damage and a couple boathouses were damaged, though some of this damage appeared to be from inflow and forward flank winds outside of the tornado damage path. The tornado intensified as it crossed the lake, with a couple dozen snapped and uprooted trees visible across the lake as well as a damaged boathouse. The tornado moved northeast in a wooded area with several downed trees visible in a ravine. The tornado dissipated as it crossed a logging road. Special thanks to the Tuscaloosa County EMA for their assistance with this survey.

4 NW Rogersville - 3 SW Anderson  
The tornado first formed west of County Road 51 north of Mount Bethel Road and snapped a few small tree limbs. It then progressed north-northeast along County Road 51, uprooting progressively larger trees and causing one tree to fall on an abandoned building. A metal awning was lofted approximately 50 yards downstream of the tornado. The tornado then crossed County Road 51 near County Road 543. A house sustained minor shingle damage and a detached garage had a failure point at a southward-facing garage door, which then allowed the tornado to lift portions of the metal roof. The tornado then tracked northward and caused roof damage to outbuildings of the Whitehead Baptist Church and then moved north-northeast, uprooting trees and snapping small limbs along the track. A tree fell on another home, and powerlines had fallen along the track. The tornado lifted on County Road 89 after snapping a few small tree limbs. Debris fallout continued for another 100 yards or so downstream of the tornado end point.

2 SE Cyril - 2 W Pushmataha   
An EF-2 tornado began southwest of the community of Cyril, Alabama in a forested area. The tornadoes strongest point was in this area where a swath of extensive tree damage was noted based on Sentinel satellite imagery. Based on this data in corroboration with other upgrades done this season, we have raised the peak intensity of the tornado to EF-2 with wind speeds of 120mph. The tornado began to weaken some as it approached the community of Cyril, Alabama, where a manufactured home was lifted and rolled into Cyril Rd just west of Alabama SR-10. Debris from the home was scattered in the treeline across the street. The manufactured home located next door to the damaged home was intact with a couple of nearby large trees snapped half way up the trunk. A nearby power pole was uprooted as well. Numerous trees in the Cyril Rd area were uprooted and snapped. There was minor roof damage to another nearby home. The Cyril Rd area was the only area along the initial tornado path that was able to be surveyed due to lack of road access further southwest and the rest of the damage survey was determined based on Sentinel satellite imagery. Sentinel satellite data confirmed that the path of this tornado extended another 2+ miles to the southwest of the damage along Cyril Rd. A continuous track with a swath of tree damage was noted in the satellite data. Approximately 3 miles to the north-northeast of the damage along Cyril Rd was an area of straight-line wind damage along CR 32 and Gamma Rd. The survey team could not discern any notable convergent pattern in the tree damage along Gamma Rd, nor did the satellite imagery confirm a continuous track into this area. There was also minor damage to two manufactured homes along Gamma Rd.

2 E Belleville   
A 2.5 mile long swath of straight line wind south of Belleville preceded the brief Belleville tornado. The straight line wind damage began to the west of CR 15, south of Belleville, and continued to the northeast toward Highway 84. The straight line wind damage may have started prior to CR 15, but the survey team could not access areas further to the southwest. Several trees were snapped and uprooted along the initial swath of straight line wind damage. A brief tornado occurred just east of Belleville along CR 56. Numerous pine trees were snapped along with several hardwoods snapped and uprooted just south of CR 56. Three homes in the area sustained minor roof damage with roof loss for several sheds and storage buildings. Metal roof pieces were noted in nearby trees and scattered along the path. A small flag pole was bent to the ground and a nearby power line was down. The tornado quickly moved northeast across Highway 84 where several more trees were snapped. The tornado likely lifted somewhere just to the north of Highway 84, to the east of Belleville. A path of straight line wind was noted for at least another 1.5 miles to the northeast of the tornado track where several more trees were snapped and a couple of trees were uprooted.

2 NNE Meadowbrook - 3 ENE Leeds  
A tornado touched down in the Lake Purdy community just west of Highway 119 Thursday evening. Tree damage was noted along Brook Highland Parkway with one tree blocking the roadway. The tornado moved northeast causing minor roof damage to an apartment complex. Large trees were snapped and uprooted on both sides of 119 near a strip mall and a landscaping company. The tornado then continued to move northeast snapping a large stand of softwoods on the east side of Highway 119. The community of Greystone saw large numbers of trees downed. At least one home had a tree fall on the structure. The tornado was likely at its widest and most intense near this location. The tornado then straddled the Shelby-Jefferson county line impacting mostly forested areas on the west side of Double Oak Mountain before approaching Leeds. Sporadic tree and power line damage was noted along Highway 25. Several homes sustained roof or minor structural damage near Oak Crossing. One mobile home had a tree completely fall through the home and destroy the structure. The tornado then began to weaken rapidly as it approached Highway 78 with only sporadic very minor damage noted before the tornado lifted just inside the St. Clair county line.

A brief EF-0 tornado affected Griffin Hall Road near Red Hill in Elmore County. Several trees were downed. One home suffered damage from a fallen tree. One home had some shingle loss. One outbuilding had metal paneling blown off and another had its roof lofted toward the south. A faint TDS was also noted on radar. Farther southwest along the track of the rotation, damage was absent except toward Newman Road where some trees were downed, seemingly related to a wind surging into the backside of the storm.

2 E Tishabee - Harper Hill     
The tornado first touched down just south of Greene County Road 69 in the Charleston Swamp east of Tishabee and west of Riverwalk Road. The first damage produced was along CR 69, and was limited to trees damaging homes. Tree damage continued as the tornado moved off to the north-northeast, crossing Al HWY 43 before moving over inaccessible land between HWY 43 and the Black Warrior River. The tornado crossed into Hale County at approximately 1:53 PM and intensified, uprooting and mowing down hundreds of trees as it moved along Bass Lane near the Black Warrior. The tornado then moved along Mason Bend Road on a slightly diagonal angle uprooting and snapping numerous hardwood and softwood trees, damaging or destroying several manufactured homes, and causing a few minor injuries. One unoccupied single-wide manufactured home rolled over and landed upside-down on top of a car. From there it continued east-northeastward, crossing Erie Rd and CR 92 with slightly less intense damage to trees. As it approached AL HWY 14 just north of Sawyerville, several homes were damaged, and one double-wide was destroyed, causing several injuries. The tornado turned over a fish truck causing the load of fish to be across the road, and deposited two pickup trucks in a pond. The tornado continued east-northeastward snapping and uprooting trees as it crossed CR 17. As it approached CR 30, the tornado reached its maximum intensity of about 135 mph. A double-wide manufactured home was torn from it's anchors, lofted and tossed approximately 50 yards across the road, causing one fatality and 2 serious injuries. A site-built home diagonally across the street sustained significant roof damage and broken glass. A double-wide home a few hundred yards south of the first home was split in two, with one half of the home remaining anchored while the other half appeared to roll away. The tornado then crossed wooded land and pastures on either side of Big Brush Creek, before crossing CR 21, snapping and uprooting numerous trees along the road. Similar but less consistent damage continued as it crossed Raspberry and Hubbard Roads before moving over inaccessible woods and pastures along Five Mile Creek. The tornado continued to weaken as it crossed AL HWY 69 near Harper Hill, causing only sporadic tree damage. Based on radar data the tornado quickly dissipated past this point and may have continued a few hundred yards into woods somewhere between Harper Hills Road and CR 31.

NWS meteorologists surveyed damage just east of Ansley in Pike County and determined it was consistent with a brief tornado. The tornado initially touched down in a wooded area to the west of County road 1123. It then traveled northeast into an open field where it crossed county road 1123, snapped a few branches, and uprooted one hardwood tree. There was significant roof damage to a metal farm building at a residence along the county road. A large feed bin, which was being housed in the barn, was lofted roughly 150 feet into a nearby field, and a gooseneck trailer was overturned. The tornado continued northeast into another pasture where it narrowly missed the family residence. However, minor shingle and porch damage was noted, and sheet metal was peeled back on another nearby barn. Shortly before lifting, the tornado snapped additional tree limbs along a tree line on the opposite side of the field. The tornado produced maximum sustained winds of 85 mph with total path length less than half a mile.
