EF1 tornado in Madison County, Alabama

A combination of NWS Storm Survey crews, drone imagery, and supplemental Worldview 3 satellite imagery determined that an EF-1 tornado tracked through southeast Huntsville just north of Governors Drive. All damage noted was from snapped tree limbs and uprooted trees along this track. The track continued across Monte Sano, past Dug Hill Road, lifting just before Watson Grande Way.

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.
