EF1 tornado in Limestone County, Alabama

A tornado tornado touched down west of New Bethel Road, uprooting and snapping several large softwood trees and collapsing more than half of a private aircraft hangar. The tornado continued north-northeast, uprooting more large trees and snapping large branches near homes along Shipley Hollow Road, which is where the tornado reached its maximum intensity of 105 mph. Shingles were displaced on a roof of a single family house. Sparse tree damage occurred just west of Old Scrouge Rd as the tornado lifted.

A significant outbreak of tornadoes occurred in two waves during the evening of the 8th and early morning hours of the 9th. The first wave occurred as multiple supercell thunderstorms developed across southern middle Tennessee and far north central Alabama. These storms moved east during the evening hours, producing ## tornadoes in north central and northeast Alabama.

A break in the activity was then followed by a line of thunderstorms that dropped southeast through southern middle Tennessee into north central and northeast Alabama after Midnight through the early morning hours. The line produced tornadoes in southern middle Tennessee, a couple of which continued into northeast Alabama. Additional tornadoes occurred with the line in far northeast Alabama.

In addition, locally heavy rainfall from the slow-moving supercells produced flash flooding during the evening of the 8th, with several roadways covered with or barricaded due to hazardous driving conditions. This primarily affected locations in southeastern Madison County, northern Marshall County, and southwest Jackson County.
