...NWS Damage Survey for 05/20/2025 Tornado Event - Update #9...


.Correction...A correction was made to the path width in the summary

of the Killingsworth Cove Tornado.


.Update...Added four tracks for three new tornadoes and one

waterspout. The Ford City Tornado, The Dement Branch Tornado, The

Priceville Tornado, and the Wheeler Lake Waterspout. We removed

the thunderstorms wind damage that was previously included for the

Ford City area due to the addition of the tornado. Minor

corrections to dates and times were made for consistency.


.Ford City Tornado ...


Rating:                 EF1

Estimated Peak Wind:    105 mph

Path Length /statute/:  17.74 miles

Path Width /maximum/:   575 yards

Fatalities:             0

Start Date:             05/20/2025

Start Time:             05:10 PM CDT

Start Location:         5 S Killen / Colbert County / AL

Start Lat/Lon:          34.7874 / -87.5347


End Date:               05/20/2025

End Time:               05:39 PM CDT

End Location:           3 SE Rogersville / Limestone County / AL

End Lat/Lon:            34.7918 / -87.2351


Survey Summary:

An NWS Storm Survey team assessed damage across northern Colbert,

northern Lawrence, far southeast Lauderdale, and western Limestone

county and found numerous trees down. This was initially reported

as thunderstorm wind damage due to the widespread nature of the

damage with the potential for embedded tornadic damage.


Supplemental drone imagery courtesy of Lauderdale and Colbert EMA

has led to just that: the addition of this tornado track from

Ford City through Red Bank, crossing the Tennessee River at

Wheeler Lake, tracking south of Rogersville, and then into far

southwest Limestone county. The reason for transitioning into

tornadic damage as opposed to thunderstorm wind damage is the

drone imagery indicating circular ground scarring, more convergent

tree fall patterns, and very concentrated damage paths within the

broad tree damage that were difficult to ascertain from the

ground survey.


The tornado touched down near Ford City where initial tree limbs

snapped then rapidly began uprooting numerous trees north of

River Road. Several trees were uprooted on River Road, but these

were all facing to the east and determined to be inflow winds. One

of these trees fell on a home and the drywall fell and scratched

a child, resulting in one injury. North of River Road, several

trees were found uprooted along with two collapsed silos along

Sprout Spring Hollow Rd. These silos had been in place since the

1930s and were completely destroyed, marking the maximum intensity

of 105 mph. The tornado then tracked east-southeast toward Foster

Mills and Red Bank, uprooting numerous trees along its path and

snapping large limbs.


After crossing the Tennessee River at Wheeler Lake, the tornado

crossed south of Rogersville where both EMA and storm spotter

provided drone imagery indicating a narrow path of snapped and

uprooted trees. After crossing the Elk River, the tornado began

lifting along Snake Road and Little Elk Road in Limestone county

where large limbs were snapped and then the tops of trees.


An incredible thank you to Lauderdale county EMA for providing

the drone imagery, and thank you to EMA in Colbert, Lawrence, and

Limestone for their coordination with the several surveys in their

area.

Survey Summary:

An NWS Huntsville Survey team along with Limestone County

Emergency Management was able to determine an EF-1 tornado

impacting an area between HWY 72 and Cox Rd resulting from the

storms on 5/20/25. This brief tornado touched down around 6:09 PM

along Dement Rd where drone imagery showed a tree down. The

tornado continued east moving over mainly wooded areas. Drone

imagery showed multiple trees and large branches down continuing

east from Dement Rd, parallel to HWY 72. Based on Drone imagery,

the tornado had a maximum intensity of EF-1 with a wind speed of

100 MPH, with a maximum width of 64 yards. After moving across a

property north of HWY 72, the tornado lifted just before Cox Rd

at around 6:10 PM. Thank you to Limestone County EMA for their

drone imagery that supplemented this survey.

End Lat/Lon:            34.5366 / -86.8782


Survey Summary:

An NWS Huntsville Survey team was able to identify an EF-

1 tornado in Morgan county in the Hartselle to Priceville area

from the storms on 5/20/25. The tornado started near Rocky Ford

Road and continued east toward HWY 31. Several large branches

were found down along with trees uprooted along Van Bridge Rd. A

tree was found snapped at the trunk along this road (Vaughn

Bridge Rd) indicating the location where the tornado reached its

maximum intensity of EF-1 with a wind speed of 105 MPH. NE of

Vaughn Bridge the tornado reached its maximum width where several

large branches were found spanning 540 yards. The tornado

continued east crossing HWY 31 and then took a NE turn with

several large branches down along Indian Hills Rd. The track

continued NE crossing I-65 and ventured into Priceville. Several

large branches were again found on various streets north of Point

Mallard Pkwy SE eventually lifting along Cove Springs Rd. Of note

is the tornado track north of Hartselle is displaced south of the

hook echo on radar imagery. Tornadoes this evening had a rope

appearance, causing the damage at the ground to be displaced from

the circulation in radar imagery. Thank you to Morgan County EMA

for their coordination with this survey.

End Lat/Lon:            34.724 / -86.7197


Survey Summary:

The National Weather Service Huntsville, AL has conducted a

damage assessment following a tornado that impacted areas of

Limestone and Madison Counties. The survey team determined that

the damage observed is consistent with an EF-2 tornado, with

maximum estimated wind speeds of 125 mph.


The tornado was initially observed and filmed by multiple storm

chasers west of Interstate 65 near Tanner, Alabama. As it crossed

I-65 in the vicinity of the Highway 31 intersection, numerous

trees were uprooted or snapped.The tornado tracked eastward,

passing south of Huntsville-Brownsferry Road and moving towards

Greenbrier Parkway. Along Greenbrier Parkway, multiple trees were

uprooted, and several structures sustained minor roof damage.

Sporadic tree damage continued east of Greenbrier Parkway toward

Powell Road and Burgreen Road.


Upon entering Madison County near the County Line Road area, the

tornado caused minor roof damage to several single-family homes

and downed trees onto some residences. One home located west of

County Line Road experienced significant damage to its west-facing

facade.


Further tree damage, predominantly uproots, was observed between

County Line Road and Wall Triana Highway, with several instances

of trees falling on homes.The tornado reached its maximum

intensity as it approached Hughes Road, specifically near Downing

Ridge and Millsford Road. In this area, two single-family homes

suffered major roof damage, with most or all of the roofing

material removed. Numerous trees were also uprooted at this

location.Continuing eastward, the tornado crossed Hughes Road in

the Dublin Circle area. Sporadic tree damage was noted north of

Eastview Drive through the Kensington Drive vicinity. It is

believed the tornado likely dissipated before reaching Slaughter

Road.


Further details and data from this event may be released as they

become available.

Path Width /maximum/:   280 yards

Fatalities:             0

Injuries:               0


Start Date:             05/20/2025

End Location:           3 NW Gurley / Madison County / AL

End Lat/Lon:            34.743 / -86.4145


Survey Summary:

A tornado produced EF1 damage with 107 mph winds and was on the

ground for 8.7 miles from the east side of the Blossomwood

neighborhood, across Monte Sano Mountain, and then continuing on

through Moontown and ending briefly in Brownsboro. This same

supercell then produced the Killingsworth Cove tornado. Both

satellite NVDI Difference Imagery concurrent with ALEA-provided

aerial imagery of the damage path confirms that there was indeed

a break in the two tracks, though they both spawned from the same

supercell storm. The tornado began by snapping several hardwood

and softwood trees on the Eastern side of Blossomwood in

Huntsville, at the base of Monte Sano Mountain. Trees were downed

and witness statements confirmed the tornado touchdown near the

intersection of Randolph Avenue and Toll Gate Road. Further east,

more widespread tree damage was noted on satellite imagery up the

mountain at the end of Cleermont Drive near the Wildflower Hiking

Trail. NVDI satellite imagery here shows that the tornado was

about 400 yards wide at its widest point crossing overtop Monte

Sano, snapping and uprooting large swaths of trees in Monte Sano

State Park. The tornado traversed the leeward side of the

mountain and continued producing tree damage in Moontown, south

of the Moontown Airport along Moontown and Bob Hunt Roads, just

west of the Flint River. After crossing the Flint River south of

Hwy 72, the tornado began to weaken as it approached Madison

County High School, downing several power poles to the east of

the school on Brock Road. The tornado was then disrupted while

crossing the terrain at this location, finally roping out and

producing minor tree damage and minor damage to a barn in fields

in the 1000-block of Salty Bottom Road.


Radar data then shows the supercell then began to produce a

secondary area of rotation to the northeast as it cycled once

again, and this track would eventually become the Killingsworth

Cove Road tornado that tracked into Jackson County.

.Killingsworth Cove Tornado...


Rating:                 EF2

Estimated Peak Wind:    134 mph

Path Length /statute/:  7.05 miles

Path Width /maximum/:   400 yards

Fatalities:             0

Injuries:               0

End Location:           8 WSW Skyline / Jackson County / AL

End Lat/Lon:            34.7815 / -86.2609


Survey Summary:

The same supercell that marched across North Central Alabama and

produced several tornadoes was responsible for tornado damage in the

Killingsworth Cove area in Eastern Madison County. The tornado

touched down on Acuff Road, downing a large swath of hardwood trees

just east of Boulder Trail. A barn sustained roof damage here as

well, with some uplifting of the roof and peeling back of a few

pieces of tin. From here, the tornado snapped and uprooted numerous

hardwood trees as it moved across the field toward structures on

Killingworth Cove Road. Here, the tornado had its strongest winds and

was at its widest point: 134 mph winds and 400 yards. A mobile home

was completely destroyed at this location, hurling the mangled frame

150-200 yards from its original location. Thankfully, the family got

the tornado warning and left the home to take shelter in the

community shelter at the KCVFD less than a mile away. Debris from the

destroyed mobile home was strewn about 225-250 yards across the

street and into the field leading to JB Hawkins Road. Two other

structures at this location sustained damage. The home next door was

just outside the funnel and had significant roof damage, as well as

projectiles that penetrated the side of the home in two locations. A

resident was inside at the time and sheltered after receiving the

warning, and thankfully was not injured. On the other side of the

path on the corner of Killingsworth Cove Road and JB Hawkins Road,

another home sustained major structural damage. Only portions of

walls were left standing of the home, but survey teams discovered

that no anchor bolts were used to attach the home to the foundation.

All portions of the bases of walls that were investigated were toe

nailed down, owing to the damage sustained at this location. From

this location, the tornado climbed the elevation behind the homes on

JB Hawkins, snapping and uprooting large swaths of hardwood trees.


The track was extended thanks to NVDI Difference Imagery that

shows changes in vegetation in hard-to-reach places such as those

without ample road networks. Aerial imagery was also utilized to

confirm these findings, therefore extending the track by just over

5 miles in distance into Western Jackson County, AL (path length

total of 7.06 miles). This tornado was a separate track from the

Trenton tornado that survey teams also confirmed in the area this

afternoon.


Special thanks to Madison County EMA, Jackson County

EMA, Alabama State EMA (ALEA) for flight imagery, linemen from

Huntsville Utilities, and members of the Madison County Sheriffs

Office for their assistance on the storm survey yesterday and

today.

End Location:           3 ESE Skyline / Jackson County / AL

End Lat/Lon:            34.7814 / -86.0666


Survey Summary:

The tornado touched down just southeast of Hwy 65 in Trenton in

Jackson County, AL, producing large limb damage on County Road

20. The tornado continued and strengthened along CR20, producing

sporadic hardwood/softwood tree damage just north of Little

Nashville. Trees were snapped and uprooted along the path, with

several broken power poles observed about 2-2.5 miles down CR20.

Tree damage and power pole damage here was the highest wind

speed, 110 mph, at this location, concurrent with an EF1 tornado.

Further northeast along the path, the tornado widened near an old

community center near Guess Creek, maintaining the 110 mph wind

speeds here. Several projectiles were noted impaled into the

ground at this location, some of which were 2-3 feet into the

ground. Large swaths of hardwood and softwood trees were also

downed here, with a width estimated at 275 yards. Minor roof

damage was also noted here, as well as an older outbuilding with

the roof removed at this location. The tornado produced

additional tree damage at a cemetery at the end of CR20 before

traversing more terrain, producing additional damage at a farm

downstream on County Road 17. Sporadic tree damage was found

along CR 17 on Sleepy Lane, Wilkins Drive, and Pace Drive before

crossing Hwy 79. Beyond Hwy 79, the tornado snapped and uprooted

a few more isolated trees south of Maynard Cove before

dissipating by County Road 28.


Special thanks to Jackson County EMA, AL State EMA (ALEA) for

flight imagery, and NVDI Difference Satellite imagery for

confirmation of trees downed in hard-to-access locations without

ample road networks. This aided survey teams tremendously this

afternoon and was much appreciated.

Survey Summary:

A survey team from the NWS in Huntsville, AL, and the Jackson

County EMA has concluded that an EF-0 tornado, with estimated

peak winds of 80 mph, was responsible for minor damage in

Section, AL.


The tornado initiated its path near the HWY 71 and

HWY 35 intersection, close to the Section baseball fields.

Throughout its duration, the primary damage indicators included

downed small and large tree branches. While two trees were

uprooted, their expected wind resistance was reduced due to

suspected rot. The tornado continued on an eastward trajectory,

passing near CR 395 and subsequently crossing CR 372. It is

believed to have lifted just west of the CR 123 and CR

47 intersection, near the border of Jackson and DeKalb counties.

The tornado likely first touched down east of the Morgan

County/Marshall County border, on the northern portion of the

Cherokee Ridge Golf Course. Multiple uprooted hardwood trees were

observed on several holes in this area. The tornado then

progressed eastward, crossing Highway 431 and uprooting numerous

trees along Allens Cross Road. Similar tree damage was documented

further to the northeast along Quarry Road. The survey indicates

the tornado lifted before reaching the community of Union Grove.

End Lat/Lon:            34.2835 / -85.8923


Survey Summary:

This tornado began just east of Graves Street in the Crossville

area, where a large tree was uprooted and a large branch (8 to

12 inches in diameter) was broken off of a tree 20 yards away.

Additionally, a small porch on a nearby residence was damaged and

lost most of its roofing. The tornado continued east just south

and paralleling highway 68, uprooting sporadic trees and breaking

off large tree branches along its way. More substantial roof

damage occurred at a building associated with the Sand Mountain

Research Extension Center off of CR 190. The tornado intensified

at this location to EF1 intensity, collapsing the entire roof of

the structure. Maximum peak winds of 93 mph were seen at this

location. Here, the tornado continued on a eastward path and

uprooted one very large tree and snapped another one from its

base (though it had some rot to it). The tornado seemed to widen

a bit more as it pushed east, but weakened again to EF0 intensity

as it crossed CR 37. At this location, it did pick up a covering

structure for hay and tossed it across a field. On the south end

of the field, a small portion of one side of a barn was torn

apart. The tornado then moved a bit more to the east northeast

paralleling highway 68 as its path width decreased significantly

to less than 300 yards. The EF0 tornado continued its path east

to east-Southeast uprooting trees or snapping off large branches

of trees before lifting just east of CR 84.

Survey Summary:

The supercell that produced a tornado earlier in Crossville

produced another EF1 tornado that affected the Mount Vernon area.

This tornado began just east of CR 83. At this location, one

large tree was uprooted and a 3 to 5 inch branch was broken off

of a tree 10 yards away. The tornado quickly moved northeast and

strengthened to EF1 intensity as it approached highway 176. Near

one residence, three healthy and large pine trees were partially

uprooted and another was broken off in a different direction and

fell onto a mobile home nearby. At this location, the snapped

tree heavily damaged the roof of the residence and destroyed a

carport. Just one house further northeast, a camper trailer

(weighing approximately 5000 lbs) was lifted off its foundation

and dragged 15 yards, before being flipped on its side. Peak

winds of 100 mph were reached at this location. Additional minor

tree limbs were seen snapped in the distance.

.Monte Sano Thunderstorm Wind Damage...


Assessment:             Straight-line wind damage

Estimated Peak Wind:    94 mph

Average Wind Speeds:    80-90 mph

Fatalities:             0

Injuries:               0


Survey Summary:


Just south of the tornado track that traversed Monte Sano

Mountain, numerous trees were downed along Monte Sano Boulevard,

Panorama Drive, Wildwood Drive, and Hutchens Avenue. Though this

area sustained widespread tree damage with several falling onto

houses, this area was not in the tornado path, but was in the

inflow/rear flank downdraft (RFD) area of the supercell instead.

Wind speeds in these locations were estimated around 90 mph. These

inflow winds and RFD winds are very strong southerly winds

flowing into the tornado path, which was just to the north.

Several distance measurements were made and investigated between

the tornado path itself, and this area of thunderstorm wind

damage. Given that the combined distance was over a mile in width,

this gives credence to two separate causes of the damage: one

tornadic and one with very strong inflow. Weak tornadoes rarely

exceed a few hundred yards in width, with thunderstorm wind damage

swaths typically producing wider damage paths like the one that

was surveyed along the aforementioned streets above.


The average wind speeds of 80-90 mph with this damage is very

similar to the average wind speeds of 80-100 mph with the tornado

assessed to the north. This explains the similar nature of the

damage and why there was some confusion as to whether or not the

snapped and uprooted trees in these areas was the result of the

tornado.

and the public that aided survey crews in their investigation of

these areas.
