EF1 tornado in Greene County, Alabama

National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in far eastern Greene County and determined that it was consistent with an EF1 tornado, with maximum winds near 90 mph. The tornado touched down just southwest of the Branch Heights community on the south side of Eutaw. It tracked northeast across Joseph Wilder Circle causing minor roof and tree damage. It began to intensify as it moved northeastward, removing a portion of the roof of the housing authority building, and reached its maximum intensity as it moved along Levi Morrow Senior Court. At least 40 residences in the community suffered at least visible shingle damage, with a few residences suffering significant roof damage. The tornado continued northeast, causing roof damage to a business along Highway 43, and snapping and uprooting multiple trees in a park as it crossed Highway 14 and at the Finches Ferry Road. The tornado then crossed into Hale County near the dead end of Finches Ferry Road.

A quasi-linear convective system (QLCS) developed across Mississippi and tracked eastward across Central Alabama on the evening of April 13th. Numerous trees were uprooted as surface winds gusted to 60-70 mph in some locations. A few tornadoes also formed within the line and impacted portions of Greene, Hale, and Tuscaloosa Counties.
