or uprooted. It then traveled northeast crossing Blue Hill Road, where one residence sustained minor roof damage; along with additional trees being either

snapped or uprooted. Further northeast, the tornado crossed Alabama Highway 21 in the Beechwood Community, where the path width reached its

maximum point. Multiple trees were uprooted and snapped, along with powerlines blown down and one large barn was completely destroyed. As the

tornado tracked parallel to Alabama Highway 21, a home and large barn sustained significant roof and structural damage. Numerous outbuildings were

destroyed and several pieces of large farm equipment were tossed approximately 100 yards. The tornado continued to the northeast just south of

Hayneville, crossing County Roads 33 and 97, where additional trees were damaged along with one single family residence that sustained minor roof

damage. The tornado began to weaken as it crossed Mimms Road and lifted near the intersection of County Road 26 and County Road 37.

An area of showers and thunderstorms developed and moved across portions of Tennessee during the morning of March 16th. An

outflow boundary from this area of storms moved southward into east central Alabama. While the outflow boundary provided enough

lift for thunderstorms to develop, daytime heating aided in the amount of instability. This led to pulse-like storms across the east, which

produced a few instances of large hail.

A tornado touched down initially just southwest of Pike CR 1 about 2.5 miles southwest of Troy Municipal Airport, where a large partially rotted tree was

snapped, and several large tree branches at the edges of plowed fields were snapped. It proceeded northeastward across wooded land and rapidly

intensified, becoming 700 yards wide as it crossed beeman creek. As it approached CR 1148, the tornado snapped numerous trees, also causing damage

to 3 inactive chicken barns. One of the barns lost about 50 percent of the roofing, with structural damage to less than 20 percent of the rafters. Snapped

trees also caused minor damage to 2 homes and a single-wide manufactured home. The tornado then weakened rapidly and dissipated over an open field

less than a mile from the airport.

A tornado crossed from Limestone into Madison County just north of Orville Smith Road where a single wide modular home lost much of its roof and tree

were snapped around it. Major structural damage occurred at the intersection of Yarbrough Road and Old Railroad Bed Road. This was one of the worst

hit areas around the Harvest community. Damage to homes, mostly collapsed roofs and some exterior wall damage continued east along Yarbrough Road

across Bridges Drive and Bedford Lane, just before Wall Triana Blvd. Also in this area, power poles were snapped near the base. Damage continued

across State Highway 53 just south of Jeff Road. The tornado snapped and uprooted trees along Quarter Mountain Road, Carters Gin Road, and Beaver

Dam Road just before Pulaski Pike. More significant damage bean to be seen along Patterson Lane, between Mount Lebanon Road and Harwell Lane where

wood power poles were snapped, numerous trees uprooted and several homes had roof loss. A large metal barn/shed lost it's roof and some of it's walls

were collapsed inward. Damage continued along U.S. Highway 231 at Meridianville Middle School where a concrete power pole was snapped an minor

roof damage occurred to nearby buildings.

The tornado then strengthened between Hubert Road and Walker Lane along Mitzi Drive. In this area, EF-2 to low end EF-3 damage was found as several

single story homes were destroyed with a loss of all walls. Other homes received significant damage with complete loss of roof and failure of exterior

walls. Estimated path width in this area was 200-250 yards. Just northeast of this location along Charley Patterson Road, EF-3 damage occurred as 3

brick veneer/cinder block houses were reduced to rubble. The tornado continued to produce significant damage along Butler Road just south of Walker

Lane where additional concrete power pols were snapped and large oak trees were snapped and uprooted. The damage path continued north of New

Market, near Hillsboro, with additional trees snapped and uprooted and some roof shingles were lost to some residences. Damage here suggests the

tornado was beginning to weaken. Along Davis Road, just south of Moe Road, numerous trees were snapped or uprooted with severe shingle loss to a

house about 200 yards away from the road. Beyond this, the tornado appeared to weaken and lift as it moved across the higher plateau region of extreme

northeast Madison County.

continued it's path eastward to Buckhorn High School before lifting at a farm across from the school on Winchester Road.

The tornado snapped power poles and lines along Moores Mill Road just north of Darwin Road. The tornado then intensified and destroyed a silo just east

of that location before snapping trees and collapsing a barn on Macon Lane. The EF-2 tornado continued east causing significant tree damage and

structural loss to residences along Rube Robinson Road and Morning Mist Drive. Most residences experienced roof damage, including loss of shingles and

windows blown out. One home on Morning Mist Drive completely collapsed and was torn off it's foundation. The tornado was at it's peak width of about

220 yards at this point, before narrowing to 50 to 100 yards as it re-crossed Rube Robinson Road. The tornado collapsed a roof and barn in this area, then

crossed fields for about 1 mile before reaching residents adjacent to Buckhorn High School on Shady Oak Lane ad Maysville Lane. A residence

experienced significant damage, with brick walls buckled and a large portion of the roof torn off. A nearby cinder block wall of a garage collapsed.

North Alabama experienced a portion of a much larger outbreak of tornadoes and severe weather from the Ohio Valley south through

the Tennessee Valley to the Gulf Coast in advance of a strong cold front. The storms came in two waves. The first began during the

mid-morning hours when two tornadic supercells developed across north central Alabama. The tornadoes (one EF-3 and one EF-2)

tracked rapidly east-northeast across northeast Limestone and northern Madison Counties.

During the early afternoon, numerous thunderstorms re-erupted across north Alabama, including several supercells. Most of these

storms were large hail producers, in one case up to softball sized. Three additional weak tornadoes were spawned in Limestone

County. There were also reports of isolated wind damage. One last band of storms rolled through parts of north central and northeast

Alabama during the mid evening hours as the cold front moved through.

A swath of wind damage downed numerous trees and power lines, and destroyed one farm outbuilding. The path of damage began off County Road 434

just south of State Highway 24 north of the Five Points community. Here, severe small trees were snapped. Just southeast of this area along County

Roads 434 and 324, a farm outbuilding was completely destroyed by peak winds estimated to be 90 mph. Continuing to move south-southwest along a

path, several more trees were snapped or uprooted along County Road 87 heading south towards Five Points.

Near the Oakville community, several more small to moderate size trees were snapped along County Road 336. A pocket of winds estimated at 70 to 80

mph impacted a small area along County Road 203 around the Jesse Owens Memorial Park and Museum. At the park, a metal light pole was bent back

slightly and a small outhouse was pushed off it's foundation and partially destroyed. Tree branches were snapped around the park and near the museum,

but no structural damage occurred to the actual museum.

Heading farther south toward the interchange of State Highways 157 and 36 near Speake, an area of trees were either snapped or uprooted by estimated

wind speeds of 75 mph. All the uprooted trees were lying in a south-southwest direction. Outside of a few snapped tree branches along County Road 81

just south of Speake, no additional damage was noted.

Joe Wheeler Electric Membership Corporation reported a power outage that affected at least 831 customers.

A very unstable environment along with an approaching weak surface trough dropping through Tennessee ignited several supercell

thunderstorms during the mid afternoon through mid evening hours. A couple of the supercell storms tracked from southern and

southwester middle Tennessee through northwest and north central Alabama, producing long swaths of large hail, in some cases very

large hail up to tennis and softball sized. One of the storms produced a narrow swath of damaging winds across eastern Lawrence

County, including the Speake community. The winds destroyed a barn and garage, and knocked several trees and power lines down in

this area.
