The path drawn at its surveyed width of 30 yards (0.02 mi) — zoom in and the swath grows to true scale. Other tornadoes recorded nearby that day are shown faint.

What EF0 means. On the Enhanced Fujita scale, EF0 is light damage: shingles and siding peeled, gutters torn, branches broken, consistent with estimated gusts of 65–85 mph. The rating comes from a survey of the worst damage after the storm, not from a wind measurement, so it says as much about what the tornado hit as about how strong it was.

What the National Weather Service wrote

The EF-0 tornado began along Mason Ferry Rd west of Georgetown

Alabama where it resulted in a few large branches snapped. The

tornado continued through the forest on the north side of Mason

Ferry rd before reaching McDavid rd where large branches and a

large softwood tree was uprooted in a clear convergent pattern.

This is likely where the tornado ended. The tornado may have

reached peak intensity within the woods; however, the peak

intensity that survey crews were able to find was around 85 mph.

The wider storm

A strong cold front moved across the area with a line of showers and thunderstorms. The storms produced several tornadoes and gusty winds across southwest Alabama.
