This storm looked a lot worse than it ended up being. It did produce a long tracked EF1 tornado with winds up to 90mph. It was on the ground for over 14 miles. Survey from the Huntsville National Weather Service.
The tornado began near Interstate 65 between mile markers 342 and 343, producing EF-0 intensity winds of up to 70 mph, snapping trees. The tornado tracked northeast, producing generally minor and sporadic damage in rural Limestone County along Brownsferry Road and into the city of Madison. As the tornado moved into Madison it intensified, uprooting large trees and producing some minor damage to homes in several locations. The most notable damage occurred in Madison along Balch Road near Kentucky Drive, Wall Triana at Gooch Lane, along McCrary Road, and further northeast along Capshaw Road between Nance Road and Jeff Road. From McCrary Road to Jeff Road, the width of tornado damage increased to approximately 75 yards. The tornado then continued moving northeast across Bishop Creek Road to Holbrook Drive. Damage along this portion of the track included uprooted large trees, some snapped-off tree tops, and minor roof damage. The tornado finally lifted further northeast on Holbrook Drive.
