After extensive analysis of data provided by PERiLs, sentinel 
sattelite imagery, and third-party pressure data in conjunction 
with multiple surrounding radars it has been determined that 
another tornado occurred 1 mile NNW of Petrey, AL on 4/5/2022. 
This tornado was associated with the line segment that was moving 
through the area roughly 25 minutes after the intial tornado 
producing supercell. During the initial storm survey there were 
several discrepancies noted in the overall damage path that did 
not quite line up with the initial tornado path including 
snapped/uprooted trees by a pond and the damage done to the 
southern portion of the chicken houses. Given the overlapping 
paths and likely similar start points, it is impossible to 
determine what the true intensity, path width, path length, and 
end point of this tornado was. The beginning time of the tornado 
is estimated by radar and third party pressure data. Special 
thanks to all parties involved for providing invaluable data that 
supported this determination.
