Episode Narrative A long-duration severe weather event occurred from the late morning hours of Tuesday, January 3rd to the early morning hours of Wednesday, January 4th. Several rounds of rain and thunderstorms impacted Central Alabama, producing tornadoes, damaging straight-line winds, quarter size hail, and flooding.
Event Narrative National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in northern Perry County and determined that it was consistent with an EF1 tornado, with maximum winds near 95 mph. This short-lived tornado developed and dissipated quickly near Coretta Scott King Highway. A manufactured home was shifted off its block foundation with a large section of roofing material removed from the back side of the home. Two homeowners were present during the time of impact and were tossed onto the floor. Thankfully, there were no injuries. Metal panels were lofted into trees on either side of the highway and a few trees were uprooted and snapped.
