...NWS Damage Survey for 03/01/2023 Tornado Event...
A stalled frontal boundary produced a series of strong to severe
thunderstorms within a modestly unstable and sufficiently sheared
environment across the Tennessee Valley and northern portions of
Mississippi and Alabama on the night of Wednesday March 1st, 2023.
One such storm intensified and rapidly produced a tornado which
affected the Shottsville community in Marion County.

Path Width /maximum/: 500 yards
Fatalities: 0

End Lat/Lon: 34.2841 / -87.9513
Survey Summary:
Storm damage was surveyed east of Shottsville and determined to be
consistent with an EF1 tornado with 90 mph peak winds. The
tornado began near the Shottsville Community Church along County
Road 56 where it produced minor damage to the exterior of the
church building. From there, the tornado continued east northeast
before reaching Reid Road where a higher degree of damage was
first noted. There were multiple uprooted softwood trees in a
broad area stretching from Reid Road to AL-19. There was also a
home on Reid Road which sustained damage to its metal roof, and a
large tree fell on top of a barn in the backyard. While the degree
of surrounding tree damage was noteworthy, several homes within
the path on AL-19 were undamaged. The tornado continued east-
northeast uprooting several softwood trees along Triplett Rd and
producing a more concentrated area of uprooted and snapped
softwood trees along County Road 317 which prompted the EF1
rating. The tornado eventually reached Nichols Cemetery Road where it
appeared to be weakening as the damage mostly consisted of broken
large branches. However, upon reaching County Road 178 the
tornado uprooted multiple softwood trees before lifting shortly
thereafter in a wooded area east of County Road 178.
