Survey Summary:
An NWS and Franklin County (AL) EMA survey team determined that
an EF-2 tornado caused damage in central Franklin County.
The tornado quickly formed while embedded within the line of severe
thunderstorms late Saturday night. It touched down just south of
Russellville Rd. and east of Harris Creek. There the tornado blew
out the doors of a large, metal storage shed and lofted an ATV
across the property. The tornado shifted ENE just south of
Russellville Rd. and Hwy 75 where it uprooted numerous hardwood
trees, some of which fell on houses. Residents at this location
received advanced NWS warnings and took refuge in their tornado
shelter before their home was impacted. Several homes also
experienced partial roof loss further east on Russellville Rd.
The tornado shifted north Hwy 24 where the vortex contracted and
strengthened. Among uprooted hardwood trees on one property, the
upper quarter of a large silo collapsed. Further east, numerous
trees were uprooted, some on houses and cars. Near Hwy 78 and Hwy
83 junction, a manufactured home was impacted with roof and
siding damage. The resident was thankful for the early warning
from the NWS as it allowed time for her family to safely seek
refuge. The tornado tracked ENE of Hwy 78 and destroyed several
small farm buildings before impacting homes near the McGuire Loop
area. Near McGuire Loop and Rocky Glen Rd., the tornado knocked
down numerous power lines in trees before completely removing the
roof of one single-family residence. This is where the strongest
intensity of the tornado likely occurred with a maximum wind of
115 miles an hour. The tornado traveled to the NE portion of
McGuire Loop where pine trees were snapped. The tornado lifted
west of Hwy 87.
Rating: EF1 Estimated Peak Wind: 100 mph Path Length /statute/: 0.76 miles Path Width /maximum/: 30 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 02/16/2025 Start Time: 1:05 AM CST Start Location: 3 SSE Douglas / Marshall County / AL Start Lat/Lon: 34.133 / -86.3162 End Date: 02/16/2025 End Time: 1:11 AM CST End Location: 3 SSE Douglas / Marshall County / AL End Lat/Lon: 34.136 / -86.3035 Survey Summary: The tornado rapidly developed along a line of severe storms entering Southwestern Marshall County, first producing damage by snapping several softwood trees along Mount Hebron Road. The tornado continued along this road as it approached Mount Hebron Douglas Road, snapping large softwood branches along its path. The most concentrated damage occurred just northeast of the intersection with Mount Hebron Douglas Road, where several farm outbuildings and barns were destroyed. This was at and immediately east of the intersection with New Clear Creek Road. Here, a power pole was snapped about 5 to 7 feet from the top of the pole. Also at this location, a cattle trailer was overturned and moved several feet. A well-built farm outbuilding suffered collapsed walls here at this location, and the combination of this and the power pole led to the strongest point in this short- lived tornado: 100mph winds and 30 yards in width. The tornado continued northeast of this location to the farm next door, destroying a small hay barn and another farm outbuilding across the street. This particular building had a covered overhang and was open on the end where the tornado approached, which contributed to it's failing here. For this reason, the wind speeds were lower than at the adjacent farm to the southwest. No further damage was noted northeast of this hay barn location between here and Chestnut Drive. Other damage was noted in the vicinity of Mount Hebron Road to the north and the south, which was mainly large branches blown down or sporadic trees here and there that were broken. This was determined to be related to straight-line winds from the line of storms, as all damage was noted to be laying in the same direction and not convergent in nature.
