Survey Summary:

This tornado touched down in Limestone County, Alabama near the
intersection of Persimmon Tree Road and Siniard Road, where a few
trees were snapped or uprooted. It moved to the northeast,
snapping and uprooting numerous trees as it crossed Tommy Hill
Road and Lester Road. As the tornado crossed Holly Lane, it
downed dozens of trees. It continued its northeastward
progression, uprooting trees along Salem Minor Hill Road and
Gardner Holly Road. It then continued into Giles County,
Tennessee.

In Tennessee, the tornado continued northeast where NASA
satellite imagery showed it blew down dozens of trees south of
Hagan Road. On the eastern end of Hagan Road, two homes received
minor damage and several outbuildings were destroyed. Another home
had minor damage on Case Road at Bethel Road. The worst damage
occurred on Alf Harris Road where several homes and outbuildings
received significant damage. The tornado then turned more eastward
and passed just north of the Prospect community, before more
homes and outbuildings were damaged on Liberty Road, Kelley Road,
and Prospect Elkton Road. The tornado lifted just west of Elkton,
Tennessee. Special thanks to Limestone County EMA and Giles
County EMA for their help with this storm damage survey.
