Rating: EF1 Estimated Peak Wind: 100 mph Path Length /statute/: 2.22 miles Path Width /maximum/: 50 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 12/28/2024 Start Time: 10:13 PM CST Start Location: 1 SW I65 And Al 113 / Escambia County / AL Start Lat/Lon: 31.1936 / -87.3245 End Date: 12/28/2024 End Time: 10:15 PM CST End Location: Barnett Crossroads / Escambia County / AL End Lat/Lon: 31.2228 / -87.3113 Survey Summary: An EF1 tornado began on the north side of I-65 along Charlie Dawson Road where several trees were leaning over the roadway with small tree branches taken off. As the tornado continued northeast, it crossed Priscilla Lane continuing to knock off small and large tree branches. The tornado strengthened as it continued to the northeast reaching Eric Odom Road. Here multiple trees had their tops snapped off with some trees snapped midway up. The tornado continued to parallel this segment of Eric Odom Road, continuing to do EF1 tree damage snapping and uprooting multiple pines. The tornado began to occlude northward impacting small cabins and snapping multiple trees in the adjacent forest to the west of Barnett Highway. The tornado then approached Grissett Bridge Road, continuing to snap multiple pines and taking out a majority of a tree stand just south of this road. It's probable the tornado continued northward as it finished out the occlusion process, however there was limited road access beyond this location. High resolution satellite imagery will be needed to determine the exact start and end points for this tornado when it becomes available. .Range Tornado... Rating: EF0 Estimated Peak Wind: 85 mph Path Length /statute/: 5.19 miles Path Width /maximum/: 0 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 12/28/2024 Start Time: 10:30 PM CST Start Location: 2 N Range / Conecuh County / AL Start Lat/Lon: 31.3463 / -87.2387 End Date: 12/28/2024 End Time: 10:40 PM CST End Location: 2 ENE Repton / Conecuh County / AL End Lat/Lon: 31.4174 / -87.2099 Survey Summary: An EF0 tornado began along Highway 41 north of Wesley Road. Along this road trees were uprooted facing due north, with some of the trees on the eastern side of the road uprooted laying due west. The next location ground survey crew were able to reach was along Highway 84 east of Repton. Here some more tree uproots occurred. It's possible the tornado did more damage to the southwest, however given the intermittent damage path and limited road network made it difficult to assess. It is possible this tornado began sooner and/or ended later than the current start and end points have, and this will be fine-tuned as high-resolution satellite imagery becomes available. .Burnt Corn Tornado...
