EF2 tornado in Conecuh County, Alabama

This tornado was produced from the same parent supercell thunderstorm that produced the EF-3 tornado in Century, FL. The tornado in Conecuh County first touched down south of County Road 6 and quickly strengthened as it crossed the road. EF-2 intensity damage was observed at the Johnsonville Volunteer Fire Department which was completely destroyed. Significant tree damage was noted in the area and a well built home suffered extensive roof damage. The tornado continued to the northwest toward the Johnsonville Circle area where a few homes suffered roof damage. A single wide mobile home on Johnsonville Circle was destroyed. The mobile home was not anchored. Damage in this area was consistent with EF-1 intensity. The tornado lifted in the woods just to the northeast of the end of Clinton Drive.

Severe thunderstorms developed across southwest and south central Alabama during the afternoon and evening of February 15th as a strong upper level disturbance moved from the southern Plains to the Tennessee Valley. The severe storms developed along and ahead of the trailing cold front, producing both tornadoes and straight line wind damage.
