Survey Summary:
An NWS survey team, with assistance from Lauderdale County EMA, 
surveyed damage in southern Lauderdale County, near Wilson Lake, 
which was consistent with an EF-1 tornado. Maximum winds were 94 
MPH.

The tornado initially touched down in the vicinity of Myrtle 
Road (in the Kendale Gardens subdivision) where it produced the 
only structural damage observed by the survey team. This 
structural damage was due to a large, uprooted hardwood tree 
falling into the front portion of a residence. The tornado then 
traveled eastward, crossing the mouth of Shoal Creek and far 
northern extent of Wilson Lake before moving back onshore and 
producing tree damage along the southern portion of Lingerlost 
Road. Afterwards, the tornado moved generally eastward across 
rural portions of southern Lauderdale County (north of Wilson Lake
and south of U.S. Highway 72), producing clusters of tree damage 
on Lauderdale C.R. 31 and in the general vicinity of the 
intersection of Lauderdale C.R. 33 and Walnut Creek Road. From 
this point, the tornado headed east-northeastward, crossing 
Bluewater Creek and producing sporadic tree damage in Elgin and 
along the western shore of Second Creek. The tornado lifted along 
Lauderdale C.R. 53 (north of Thorntontown), where tree damage was 
also observed.

The NWS confirmed an additional tornado from the weekend severe weather event near Hatton Alabama. Here are the results of that survey:
