Survey Summary:
The tornado touched down just NE of the Alcorn County Road
Maintenance Facility on County Road 306. Here, the tornado
snapped and uprooted several trees behind residences along the
road. One home here did sustain moderate damage due to a tree
falling on it, but this was the only structural damage noted
along County Road 306. The tornado continued through a wooded
area approaching Hwy 72, crossing just west of the Glen Town
Hall. The Glendale Elementary School sustained minor damage to
the roof (less than 20%) and several trees were uprooted here.
The tornado weakened after this point and sporadic tree damage
was noted throughout a wooded area to the northeast between
County Road 248 and County Road 260. Satellite NVDI analysis was
able to connect this tornado path with the track that picks up at
Yellow Creek. Damage to tree limbs and a few uprooted trees was
noted along County Road 280. The tornado progressed to the
northeast, crossing Highway 25 and entering JP Coleman State
Park. Snapped limbs and uprooted small trees were noted along a
narrow path as the tornado approached the Tennessee River. The
tornado then entered Lauderdale County, AL where it intensified
into an EF-1. Drone imagery courtesy of Lauderdale County EMA
showed large swaths of tree damage through far northwestern
Lauderdale County, typically not accessible through traditional
road networks. The damage continued along portions of County Road
3, at which point it was at its widest. As the tornado tracked
toward the Tennessee state line, it was still uprooting and
snapping several large trees. Fortunately, no structures were in
the path of the tornado so no structural damage was assessed on
this survey. Additional areas of tree damage were noted across
the state line into Hardin County, Tennessee. Subsequent damage
surveys and supplementary satellite imagery will help determine
an accurate endpoint of the tornado after it extended into
Tennessee. Thank you to Lauderdale County EMA and Tishomingo
County EMA for their help.
