...NWS Damage Survey for 08/30/21 Tornadoes...

The remnants of Tropical Cyclone Ida traveled across portions of 
the Deep South and across Central Alabama on Monday, August 30th, 
2021. Bands of tropical downpours and thunderstorms moved across 
the area, generally to the east of Ida's circulation. It was in 
this general area where instability and low-level wind shear 
values were sufficient for a few stronger, rotating 
thunderstorms. Two EF-0 tornadoes have been documented in 
southeast portions of Central Alabama as a result of this 
activity.
