EF1 tornado in Bibb County, Alabama

NWS meteorologists surveyed damage in western Bibb County and determined that the damage was consistent with an EF1 tornado. The tornado spun up along Road 700 north of Highway 25 in the Oakmulgee District of the Talladega National Forest, just west of Lake Ponderosa, where a couple tree branches were broken. It continued northeast through forested land and strengthened as it approached County Highway 16. There, an anchored barn and shed both collapsed, and an unanchored mobile home was rolled over, while numerous softwood trees were snapped. After crossing County 16, it damaged the tin roof of an abandoned structure, and continued to snap numerous trees as it began to parallel County Road 16 and cross Highway 1. The roof was damaged on a small shed along Sugar Hill Lane with continued tree damage. The tornado dissipated after crossing Ward School Road, prior to reaching Highway 82 and Eoline. The tornado was captured in a couple videos. The parent supercell went on to exhibit a couple additional tight velocity couplets and a lowering in correlation coefficient as it continued through Bibb County near West Blocton and Woodstock. However, survey teams could not find any additional damage on any accessible roads, and no additional damage was reported.

The remnants of Hurricane Harvey tracked northeast across Louisiana and along the Mississippi River. Feeder bands on the east side of Harvey produced four tornadoes across central Alabama.
