EF1 Tornado — Mobile, Alabama

2024-04-10 · near Georgetown, Mobile, Alabama

Event narrative

Brief EF-1 tornado begun on Brighton Ct removing a home's roof. It

appears the roof was removed due to a garage door failure leading

to almost complete removal. An exterior wall in the garage was

bowed out; however, a lower wind speed was assigned due to the

failure mode being the garage door and absolute lack of any other

damage surrounding the house. The tornado then crossed northwest

across Brighton Dr and dissipated near Brandy Ct while snapping some

large hardwood branches and a fence blown inward resulting in a

convergent path.

Wider weather episode

A severe line of thunderstorms moved across the Gulf Coast during the day. This line of storms produced large and damaging winds along with a couple of tornadoes.
