 ...NWS Damage Survey for 01/12/23 Tornado Event - Update # 8...
 .Update...
 This update includes the addition of the long track
 Spalding/Butts/Newton/Jasper Tornado and an additional
 Butts/Newton tornado, bringing the number of tornadoes with
 completed surveys to 10.
 .Overview...
 A line of strong thunderstorms moved into north and central
 Georgia during the afternoon through the evening on Thursday,
 January 12th and spawned numerous tornadoes, including several
 that were long track and significant. Ahead of this line, a few
 supercells also spawned tornadoes in portions of central and
 eastern Georgia. As of this writing, survey information is still
 being compiled and will be released in coming days. Thus, the
 final tornado count is still being determined. The total number
 of tornadoes with completed surveys below stands at 10, with more to
 be added.
 ..Spalding/Butts/Newton/Jasper Tornado...

 Survey Summary:
 Radar data, areal surveys and ground surveys confirm that a long
 track EF2 tornado occurred beginning a few miles east of Griffin
 GA through Butts, Newton and into Jasper counties. The tornado
 was part of a larger mesocyclone which can be traced west all the
 way back to the Selma Alabama tornado which spawned numerous
 tornadoes during its lifecycle. This particular tornado first
 touched down in an area around Crouch road and Wild Plum Road
 snapping and uprooting trees. The tornado struck a Rinai
 building causing damage to the roof, windows and outside walls.
 The tornado continued northeast snapping and uprooting trees
 quickly intensifying as it crossed hwy 19 becoming and EF2.
 Widespread tree damage was noted along S. McDonough Road and
 Walnut Grove Road north of Hwy 16. A well built home sustained
 significant roof and structure damage consistent with high end
 EF2 winds. The tornado continued northeast crossing High Falls
 Road, N. Walkers Mill Road, Yamacraw road snapping and uprooting
 trees consistent with EF1 damage. As the tornado continued
 northeast, it became the dominant circulation within the larger
 mesocyclone as the previous Griffin tornado began to occlude
 within the large circulation. The tornado crossed Jackson road
 and paralleled Jenkinsburg road before crossing I75 near
 Jenkinsburg Road. Snapped and uprooted trees were noted along
 both sides of I75 where the tornado crossed. As the storm became
 the dominant circulation within the mesocyclone, the wind field
 expanded and the damage became fairly consistent with high end
 EF1 to low EF2 thereafter. The tornado crossed Locust Road, Dean
 Patrick Road and England Chapel Road were numerous trees were
 snapped and uprooted. Some home damage was noted in the area as
 well, particularly as it approached Shiloah Road. Several homes
 were damaged along Plaza Dr and Smith Dr. The tornado continued
 NE crossing Hwy 23 striking a large warehouse. Severe roof and
 exterior wall damage was noted as debris was spread across the
 highway and to the NE of the hwy. As the tornado crossed the
 highway it struck a train on the tracks and overturned 3 rail
 cars just west Walter Moore Rd. The storm continued northeast
 crossing Wolf Creek Road snapping and uprooting trees near
 several homes consistent with EF1 wind damage. The tornado
 continued northeast crossing Rising Star Church road and Brown
 road snapping and uprooting trees. As the storm continued
 northeast beyond this point, the remnant circulation which last
 produced damage near Locust Grove regenerated a new tornado a
 little over a mile to the northwest along Fincherville Road. The
 two tornadoes would continue to the NE nearly parallel through
 the Jackson Lake area. This particular tornado continued
 northeast and would intensify to EF2 as it crossed Hwy 36 north
 of Keys Ferry Road and Haley Road. The fatality and critical
 injury directly associated with this tornado occurred along Haley
 Road when a tree fell onto a vehicle injuring the driver and
 fatally wounding a passenger. EF2 damage was noted East of
 hwy36 along Haley Road, Pocahontas St. Chickasaw lane and several
 neiborhoods along the lake. The tornado crossed into Southern
 Newton County causing severe damage along Parker Road, Ray Road,
 Malcom Rd, Quarry Ct, Pebble Ridge Dr, Hunters Trace, Campbell Rd
 and Hwy 212 as it entered Jasper County near the Franks
 Restaurant. EF1 to low end EF2 damage was intermittent along
 Yancy Rd, Dallas Tr, Gem Lane, Lee s Cove, Alcovy N. Dr, Rainbow
 Dr and County Line Road. The Bear Creek Marian was destroyed
 and several campers were destroyed. The storm continued NE
 crossing Henderson Mill Road snapping and uprooting trees, County
 line Trail and Hwy 11 before weakening and lifting as it
 approached Margery Lake. A second fatality was resulted the
 following day when a lineman was knocked out of a bucket truck in
 Jasper County after being struck by a large tree branch while
 attempting to restore powerlines. The fatality, is considered
 indirect but will be tied to this particular tornado.
 Widespread wind damage can be seen via areal survey and ground
 survey throughout northern Butts, Southern Newton and Western
 Jasper counties and surveying this particular storm was a
 challenge to discern where the tornado actually ended and where
 the severe wind damage started. The path width is an
 approximation based on the most severe damage swaths which were
 surveyed however, strong inflow winds occurred for much of the
 lifecyle of this tornado making a very wide swath of damage along
 its 30+ mile long path.
 ..Butts/Newton Tornado...
 Rating: EF1
 Estimated Peak Wind: 95 mph
 Path Length /statute/: 9.93 miles
 Path Width /maximum/: 500 yards
 Fatalities: 0
 Injuries: 0
 Start Date: 01/12/2023

 End Location: 1 NW North Alcovy / Newton County / GA
 End Lat/Lon: 33.4371 / -83.8297
 Survey Summary:
 Radar data, areal surveys and ground surveys confirm that the
 circulation which was the long track EF3 tornado through Griffin
 GA regenerated a tornado in NW Butts County after crossing out of
 Henry County. This tornado was part of a larger mesocyclone
 which can be traced west all the way back to the Selma Alabama
 tornado which spawned numerous tornadoes during its lifecycle.
 This particular tornado first touched West of Fincherville Rd
 snapping and uprooting numerous trees on both sides of the road
 and in the forest land to the west and east. The storm continued
 Northeast crossing Keys Ferry Road where much of the wind damage
 became intertwined with the long track tornado to the south of
 it. Damage was noted near Parker Rd and Hwy 36, Hwy 162 and Hwy
 36 and along Hwy 36 just south of the Yellow River Bridge. The
 tornado paralleled Hwy 36 snapping and uprooting trees from
 Malcom Rd and Hwy 36 through Stewart Church Road, Heatherstone
 Way and the intersection of Hwy 212 and Hwy 36 where a barn was
 destroyed, several trees were snapped and uprooted, and a large
 section of roof was removed from a car wash. Severe tree damage
 and damage to a greenhouse and a few homes were noted along
 Stewart Church road. Areal survey confirms the tornado did not
 last long after crossing hwy 212 and lifted as it approached the
 Alcovy River. It should be noted that the damage from this
 tornado is very close to and possibly butting up against the
 damage area defined by the long track tornado which crossed
 through the Jackson Lake area. As a result, the damage area from
 both in some cases is nearly 2.5 miles across with swaths of more
 severe damage where the circulation of the actual tornado can be
 tracked. Combined with the severe winds and inflow winds,
 significant damage was noted all across this region of northern
 Butts, Southern Newton and western Jasper counties and much of
 the Jackson Lake area.
 ..Standing Rock Tornado (NW Troup County)...

 Survey Summary:
 NWS meteorologists have surveyed damage in northeastern Chambers
 County and determined it was consistent with an EF2 tornado. The
 start point was a bit uncertain due to sporadic timber damage
 around Five Points, but appears to be near County Road 114 west of
 Highway 431 to the southwest of Five Points. Northeast of Five
 Points, the tornado intensified, snapping and uprooting many trees
 along County Road 267 and causing roof damage to a barn. The
 swath of timber damage became almost a mile wide along County
 Roads 281 and 282 and at least one residence there suffered roof
 damage. The tornado continued to intensify as it crossed County
 Road 268 where large swaths of pine trees were snapped. A
 manufactured home was completely destroyed and blown downstream
 near County Road 278; thankfully the family was not home at the
 time. Most of the structural damage happened along County Road
 284. A couple residences suffered significant shingle damage, one
 had siding damage, and a manufactured home had its porch ripped
 off, impacting its walls. Another manufactured building was blown
 off its footings. Another significant swath of snapped pines was
 observed on County Road 283, some snapped off only a couple feet
 off the ground. The tornado then crossed into Georgia, continuing
 to snap trees along West Point Lake.
 Numerous trees were snapped along the end of North State Line Rd
 as the tornado crossed the lake. The tornado began to weaken some
 as it made its way into Deer Point Rd and Rock Mills Road where
 tree damage and some damage to shingles and gutters occurred for a
 few homes. The tornado continued east through mostly wooded
 areas, doing damage to pines and crossing just north of a few
 homes along Neely Rd. Weakening continued as it continued NE with
 only minor tree damage occurring before the tornado dissipated
 along Cameron Mill Rd.
 ..Cobb County Tornado...

 End Lat/Lon: 33.7867 / -84.5823
 Survey Summary:
 As a line of strong to severe thunderstorms moved through the
 west Atlanta metropolitan area and into southwest Cobb county, a
 brief tornado spun up near the intersection of Oak Ridge Rd and
 Oak Ridge Pkwy SW, which is about a half-mile to the north of I-
 20. The tornado immediately caused damage to the 18 Wheeler Truck
 Parts & Chrome building, causing a portion of an exterior wall to
 collapse. A door was open on the back side of the building,
 providing a failure point as tornado winds entered the building.
 The tornado moved northeastward across Ivy Pointe Row SW and Ivy
 Log Dr SW, where several large and tall trees were snapped and
 caused damage to roofs and walls of homes. The tornado then
 turned east-northeast, bringing down additional trees onto Ivy
 Log Dr SW, Maple Log Pl SW, and Poplar Log Pl SW. Two homes on
 Poplar Log Pl SW sustained major damage as large trees fell on
 the home, removing portions of the roof and walls, which were
 then tossed by the tornado winds. The tornado then turned east-
 southeastward, uprooting several trees on Hembree Ln SW and Blair
 Bridge Rd SW, once again falling on homes and causing structural
 damage. The tornado continued onto William Rd, snapping and
 uprooting about a dozen trees before finally lifting and
 dissipating over Myra Ln SW. No other notable damage was observed
 beyond this point. There were locations along the track over
 which it appears the tornado lifted just enough to bring taller,
 larger trees down onto homes, but leave objects on the ground
 mostly undisturbed. Maximum winds based on damage is estimated to
 be 110 mph which equates to an EF-1 rating.
 ..Troup County (LaGrange) Tornado...

 End Lat/Lon: 33.0428 / -84.8720
 Survey Summary:
 Re-cycling from a parent supercell tracking from Chambers County
 (Alabama) into Troup County (Georgia), this tornado touched down
 just south of Callaway Airport, snapping several trees along
 Pegasus Pkwy. Damage quickly picked up just to the northeast
 approaching Whitesville Road (just north of I-85) where several
 one-story metal buildings had significant roof damage, along with
 their garage doors and windows blown in. Numerous trees in this
 area were either snapped or uprooted. Several power poles along
 Orchard Hill Road were broken off near the top. Maximum winds in
 this area were determined to be in the 90-100 mph range (EF-1).As
 the tornado continued northeast, a large warehouse building at
 the Vaughan Xpress transportation facility sustained significant
 damage. About 1/4 of the large warehouse was completely destroyed
 with several metal bolt anchors stretched or ripped up out of the
 concrete pad. Winds were estimated between 110-120 mph at this
 time and as it crossed I-85, a large number of trees were snapped
 (some near the base) or uprooted. Widespread significant damage
 by this strong tornado continued across the Baldwin Park
 community. In this location, more than 30 homes had significant
 damage; one and two-story homes lost major parts of the roof and
 upper level floors along with at least partial-collapse of
 exterior walls. Debris was thrown for hundreds of yards. Winds in
 this area likely maxed out around 120 mph, making this an EF-
 2 tornado. The tornado continued east-northeast, cutting down
 trees across Upper Big Springs Road, I-185, and Stewart Road
 (east of I-185). There's a fairly rural/wooded area between
 Stewart Road and the next road (Parmer road) about 2 miles apart
 but damage picked back up along Hwy 109/Greenville Road (mostly
 trees snapped/uprooted). The tornado then ripped through the town
 of Mountville, snapping and uprooting multiple medium to large
 trees along Trippe and College streets. A couple more trees were
 uprooted along Wood Road, but little to no damage was seen beyond
 this area. Seeing this and what was on radar, this fairly long-
 track tornado finally lifted just before the Meriwether County
 line.
 ..Meriwether/Northwest Pike/Southwest Spalding Tornado...

 Survey Summary:
 As the Troup County tornado lifted southeast of LaGrange just
 west of the Troup-Meriwether County line, another long-track and
 powerful tornado formed just east of the county line near Keith Rd
 0.9 miles north of GA109. The tornado initially traveled north
 then turned to a east-northeast direction crossing Wilbur Keith Rd
 and Piney Woods Rd downing hundreds of trees. The tornado
 broadened and intensified as it approached GA100 with a diameter
 of 0.9 miles and winds over 100 mph uprooting and snapping over
 1000 trees. A home on Forrest Rd had its entire roof blown off
 where max winds were estimated at 120 mph and first reached EF- 2
 intensity. The tornado continued at 100 to 120 mph intensity as it
 continued east-northeast into neighborhoods south of Allie Rd
 along Mount Pilgram Rd where several homes were damaged or
 destroyed by trees falling on them. One double-wide manufactured
 home on Ground Hog Dr had its roof blown off and was shifted 20
 yards off its foundation, breaking the home in half.
 The tornado continued east-northeast along Allie Rd crossing
 US27. Just east of US27 a very large stand of trees were snapped
 and a large recently-constructed two-story barn was destroyed.
 Just east of this location, two single-wide mobile home completely
 destroyed. The residents of one of the homes was at the hospital
 when the tornado struck and returned home early next morning to
 find it in shambles. Here, maximum winds were also rated at EF- 2
 intensity (120 mph). The tornado began to weaken east of this
 point and it tracked a bit more northeast in direction, crossing
 Rocky Mountain Rd and Malcom Rd before it traveled along Callaway
 Rd downing several hundred more trees as it moved near the Alps
 community. While the tornado remained weak east of this area, the
 overall storm remained extremely strong and the tornado did not
 dissipate, continuing east-northeast cross GA362 and paralleling
 the Flint River as it crossed into the far SW tip of Spalding
 County, crossing Hollonville Rd, and briefly crossing into the
 Pike County side of the Flint River. Here winds were only 75- 80
 mph downing several trees as far as could be seen from public
 roadways. The tornado lifted somewhere east of Blanton Mill Rd
 about 0.3 miles north of the Pike-Spalding County line.

 Survey Summary:
 Per radar data, areal surveys and ground surveys it has been
 determined that there were 3 tornadoes on the ground
 simultaneously in southwest Spalding and Northwestern Pike
 Counties. The tornadoes were part of a larger mesocyclone which
 can be traced west all the way back to the Selma Alabama tornado.
 This particular tornado would become the dominant circulation
 which impacted Griffin and much of Spalding County and Southern
 Henry County. The tornado first touched down in Northwest Pike
 County along HWY 362 west of Irish Hill Drive where a few trees
 were snapped and uprooted and quickly increased in intensity to
 EF1 as it crossed Kings Bridge Road, Huff Creek Rd and Scott Road
 where numerous trees were snapped and uprooted. As the storm
 crossed Blanton Mill Road more severe damage was noted both on
 the
 ground and areal survey and it was determined that EF2 damage was
 present in the area around Nunnally Rd and Bethany Road where
 widespread snapping of trees occurred and a few structures were
 severely damaged. The storm continued ENE crossing into Spalding
 County southwest of Williamson Road where EF2 damage was noted.
 As
 the storm passed Rover-Zetella Rd it was noted on radar that the
 merging of circulations began to occur with the tornado which
 formed briefly in SW Spalding county. It was near this point the
 tornado and the wind damage was noted as widespread spanning
 nearly 2 miles across with very strong inflow winds noted to the
 south near Rover Rd and Rover-Zetella Rds. It was at this point
 the tornado reached peak intensity of 145-150 mph and several
 homes were completely destroyed along Kendall Drive. 2 homes in
 particular were noted to be completely destroyed down to the
 foundation however further inspection of the homes revealed that
 the walls were not anchored fully anchored into the concrete thus
 a higher rating could not be determined from those homes. The
 resident of one of those homes rode out the storm in his bathtub,
 however the bathtub and all plumbing fixtures were torn away from
 the slab and tossed into the nearby woods. The survivor of the
 home was miraculously uninjured and got out to help neighbors.
 Further west along Kendall Drive several homes were also
 completely destroyed with several others suffering major damage
 thus the EF3 rating. Major to severe damage was also noted along
 Maloy Road, Hwy 16, areas around Griffin High School, The club at
 Shoal Creek and North Pine Hill Road. As the tornado approached
 Hwy 19, per UGA faculty, the UGA facility at Dempsey Farm
 recorded
 a wind speed of 81.1 mph before the anemometer/wind combo
 instrument blew off the tower. The tornado continued ENE through
 the community of Experiment to the NW of the town of Griffin
 crossing HWY 92 where numerous business and homes suffered damage
 either from wind or fallen trees consistent with EF0 through EF1
 damage. A weather instrument on the south end of the tornado
 swath
 at the UGA Griffin Campus recorded a 73.9 mph wind gust as the
 storm passed by. Damage in the area was consistent with EF0 type
 wind damage. The tornado struck a Hobby Lobby building in an
 around Experiment St and Hwy 92 which suffered severe damage to
 the roof, and exterior walls on the northeast side. Damage to the
 building was consistent with EF2 winds of approximately 130 mph.
 The tornado continued Northeast through the northside of Griffin
 with mostly EF0-EF1 type wind damage. Pockets of more severe
 damage were noted along Northside Drive and McIntosh Road
 consistent with high end EF1 damage. The tornado continued
 northeast crossing Smoak Road and N. McDonough road where it was
 noted both on the ground and from the air that the circulation
 weakened and the damage become more sporadic in nature
 particularly the area from Amelia rd eastward to I75 in southern
 Henry County. Once the circulation crossed I75 intensity of the
 tornado increased to a mid to high end E1 with damage in the city
 of Locust Grove. The tornado crossed LG Griffin Road where it
 impacted numerous homes in a subdivision and snapped or uprooted
 trees. The storm crossed Stanley K Tanger Road and through
 another
 neighborhood affecting several homes including some high end EF1
 damage. As the storm crossed Hwy 23 numerous trees were snapped
 or
 uprooted and a new TDS appeared on radar. The tornado continued
 NE across Jackson St, Grove Park Drive, Skyland Dr, S. Unity
 Grove
 Road and S Ola grove road snapping and uprooting trees as well as
 causing EF0 or in some cases EF1 damage to homes. The storm
 continued ENE snapping and uprooting trees through Peaksville
 Road
 where it shortly there after become less defined and eventually
 merged with the circulation/tornado ongoing to the south in the
 Jenkinsburg area. According to Spalding County officials,
 approximately 1465 homes were affected in the city of Griffin and
 754 were affected in the county with at least 250+ suffering
 major
 damage or destroyed with assessments still ongoing. Additional
 numbers from Pike and Henry county will be added to the total
 when
 assessments are completed. Additional data will be examined to
 determine the maximum width of the tornado. As mentioned in the
 summary, the damage area west of Griffin is approximately 2 miles
 wide, however, areal survey confirms a wide area of EF0 and EF1
 inflow wind damage from the south thus determining a max width
 will take more examination of the data.

 Survey Summary:
 Per both radar data, areal surveys and ground surveys it has been
 determined that there were 3 tornadoes on the ground
 simultaneously in southwest Spalding and Northwestern Pike
 Counties. The tornadoes were part of a larger mesocyclone which
 can be traced west all the way back to the Selma Alabama tornado.
 This particular tornado briefly spun up near the Pike and
 Spalding
 county line just west of Scott Branch Road per both radar
 confirmed Tornado Debris Signature (TDS) and ground truth with
 snapped or uprooted trees in that area. This tornado continued
 East North east crossing Yarborough Mill Road snapping and
 uprooting trees before crossing near the intersection of Blanton-
 Mill Rd and Rover-Zetella Road where trees were snapped and
 uprooted. As the tornado tracked east it became absorbed into the
 circulation that was simultaneously tracking NE out of northern
 Pike County just to the west of the Kendall Drive area. It was as
 this tornado and the other circulation came together the overall
 intensity peaked over and to the Northeast of the Kendall Drive
 area along Hwy 16 west of Griffin which ultimately became the
 longer track tornado which tracked through Griffin. This tornado
 track will end in the approximate area where it came together
 with
 the other circulation.

 End Lat/Lon: 33.4897 / -82.565
 Survey Summary:
 A National Weather Service survey team confirmed an EF-1 tornado
 with peak winds of 110 mph that tracked from Camak in eastern
 Warren County to west of Thomson in western McDuffie County. The
 total tornado path was 5.17 miles, with about 3.15 miles in
 Warren County and 2.02 miles in McDuffie County. The Georgia
 State Patrol (GSP) Aviation Division used a helicopter to
 determine that the tornado began in Camak, just east of Church
 Street, and moved toward the northeast. Damage to trees was seen
 from the helicopter extending from Camak Rd to the intersection
 of Wire Road and Otis Jones Road. A NWS survey team determined
 the tornado strengthened to EF-1 intensity as it approached
 Mesena Road and continued northeast across the county line to
 Foster Sprouse Road. In this area, a couple of homes had roof and
 fascia damage, a metal work shed and outdoor kitchen were
 destroyed, and a swath of large and healthy pine trees were
 snapped and uprooted. As the tornado crossed Foster Sprouse Road,
 it continued to snap and uproot trees, one of which fell on a
 house. The tornado then weakened as it crossed Union Church Road
 and dissipated before reaching West Bypass.

 Survey Summary:
 Radar and ground survey confirm that a EF1 tornado briefly
 touched down west of I75 along Windy Lane. The tornado was part
 of a larger mesocyclone which can be traced west all the way back
 to the Selma Alabama tornado which spawned numerous tornadoes
 during its lifecycle. This particular tornado spun up quickly
 along Windy Lane before striking a large warehouse along Midway
 drive. Sections of the roof were torn off and thrown
 northeastward into the parking lot and nearby woods. The
 tornado snapped a few trees before crossing I75 just south of hwy
 16 before crossing Mattie Thomason Road, Colwell Road and
 paralleling Hwy 16 snapping and uprooting trees along both sides
 of the highway. The tornado lifted after crossing Joe Lane road
 and around High Falls road. A brief TDS can be seen on radar
 shortly after the tornado hit the warehouse west of I75.

 ALABAMA:
 NWS Damage Survey for 01/12/2023 Tornado Event Update #10...
 .Update...Increased maximum wind speed for the Standing Rock
 tornado in Chambers County to 130 mph based on timber damage near
 County Road 283.
 Various forms of aerial and satellite imagery will be analyzed
 over the coming days which could result in path length or width
 changes to any of these tornadoes. Any additional analysis or
 survey work that results in information changes will be passed
 along as it becomes available.
 .Overview...Numerous strong to severe thunderstorms impacted
 Central Alabama during the morning and afternoon hours of
 Thursday January 12th, 2023. Several supercell thunderstorms
 spawned significant tornadoes which caused paths of damage over
 several areas. Thunderstorms also produced damaging straight-line
 winds over many areas, as well as hail up to golf ball size. A
 total of 9 tornadoes occurred across Central Alabama. Notably, the
 Old Kingston-Lake Martin EF3 Tornado had a long-track path of
 over 76 miles and was at least 1,500 yards wide. This tornado
 caused 7 fatalities and 16 injuries.

 Survey Summary:
 The tornado touched down east of Delmar near County Rd 20 where
 timber damage was observed in addition to minor structural damage. The
 tornado continued northeast into a heavily wooded area near
 Tanyard Creek then crossing County Rd 28 where trees were
 uprooted. The width here was approximately 150 yards wide. The
 tornado continued northeast into additional heavily wooded areas
 near Clear Creek then impacting a residence on County Rd 432
 uprooting and snapping trees, causing structural damage, and
 overturning an RV. The tornado continued to grow in width as it
 moved northeast, approximately 425 yards wide as it crossed
 Macedonia Rd. The tornado continued to cause additional timber
 damage in a heavily wooded area before it impacted a farm near
 County Rd 55 and 3182. Here the highest degree of damage occurred
 as two large chicken coops were completely destroyed in addition
 to 3 other small farm buildings. Nearby structural damage occurred
 to at least 4 residences. Adjacent timber damage also occurred.
 The tornado continued east-northeast toward Highway 195 where it
 dissipated before crossing County Rd 6. Around 25 structures were
 damaged due to the tornado. NWS Birmingham would like to thank
 Darone and Mike (NWS Memphis) and Alabama Law Enforcement Agency
 (ALEA) for their assistance with this survey.

 Survey Summary:
 This tornado began near Sumter 24 uprooting trees. The tornado
 continued east-northeast along Sumter 24 where it destroyed a
 grain bin near Ramsey Lane along with snapping and uprooting a few more
 softwood trees. The tornado moved through Emelle where it caused
 damage to roofs in the community along with uprooting and snapping
 numerous trees. The tornado crossed Highway 74 and took the roof
 off of a home and destroyed an outbuilding near the intersection
 of Highway 74 and Sunlight Church Road. The tornado was at it's
 strongest intensity at this point with a max wind of 120 mph. The
 tornado crossed Highway 39 and destroyed a mobile home on Hodges
 Place Road. The tornado ended just east of Sumter 21 uprooting and
 snapping a few more trees along the way. At least 3 dozen
 structures suffered varying degrees of damage. NWS Birmingham
 would like to thank Dan (NWS Jackson) for the assistance with this
 survey.
 .Tornado #3 Eutaw Tornado (Greene, Hale, Tuscaloosa, and Bibb
 Counties)...
 Rating: EF2

 End Time: 10:43 AM CST
 End Location: 1 WNW Harmon / Bibb County / AL
 End Lat/Lon: 33.039 / -87.294
 Survey Summary:
 This tornado began just west of West End Avenue and moved across
 West End Avenue where it destroyed a shed, caused roof damage,
 snapped and uprooted trees. The tornado continued to move into the northern
 portions of Eutaw where it snapped and uprooted numerous trees
 along with minor roof damage to several homes. Trees also fell on
 at least 2 homes causing significant damage to the homes. A
 rooftop observation deck was taken off of one home and thrown
 across the street off of Ashby Drive. The tornado continued east-
 northeast before ending just east of Highway 11 snapping and
 uprooting several trees along the way. Additional survey work
 determined the tornado continued northeast after crossing US Hwy
 11 in Greene County, moving into the Oak Village area of Hale
 County near Lock 8 Boat Landing on the Black Warrior River. Tree
 damage could be seen on both sides of the river from Lock 8. Most
 significant damage was on the Hale County side along Flemming Rd
 and Oak Village Road. Many mobile homes were destroyed on Flemming
 Rd, mostly due to tree fall. Tree fall consisted of hardwood
 trees being snapped or uprooted. One home in Oak village sustained
 significant damage after garage failure occurred. This resulted
 in adjacent walls collapsing and most of the roof structure being
 blown north into the river. Additional timber and varying degrees
 of structural damage was observed to the end of Oak Village Rd.
 This survey was somewhat difficult as this exact area was damaged
 by an EF1 tornado just 6 weeks ago. The tornado continued
 northeast, but is believed to have weakened or skipped along its
 path. Only minor timber damage was found near Stewart and up to
 Hwy 69. However, more significant timber damage was found
 downstream on County Rd 50, entering the Talladega National
 Forest. Hardwood trees were snapped and uprooted with a path width
 around 300 yards at this point as the tornado seemingly
 strengthened. The tornado then continued over the Elliott's Creek
 EF3 path from March 25th, 2021 before crossing into Tuscaloosa
 County where high-end timber damage was observed. The path here
 was nearly 600 yards wide with the center portion consisting of
 most trees snapped at their base, generally 200 yards wide or
 more. The rating here was assigned 130 mph, high-end EF2. The
 tornado continued northeast crossing US Hwy 82 near Hagler causing
 additional timber damage and some minor structural damage at two
 homes. It is believed the tornado weakened and dissipated
 thereafter, generally north of US Hwy 82 in western Bibb County.
 This area was not accessible. At least 60 structures suffered
 varying degrees of damage.
 .Tornado #4 Greensboro Tornado (Hale and Perry Counties)...

 End Location: Morgan Springs / Perry County / AL
 End Lat/Lon: 32.7394 / -87.4184
 Survey Summary:
 The tornado touched down in a remote area of Hale County, near
 Clements Bend on the Black Warrior River. From there, it moved
 east-northeast across CR-35, where downed numerous trees on a farm
 near the State Cattle Ranch. From there, it continued to snap and
 uproot numerous trees in a largely rural area, before causing
 considerable damage to the roof of a house along AL-69. The
 tornado grew to EF-2 strength as it approached the southern part
 of the city Of Greensboro. At AL-25, it snapped and uprooted
 numerous trees, rolled and destroyed a single-wide manufactured
 home, and caused lighter damage to several other structures. The
 remaining damage along the path was mostly to timber, including
 along AL-61 just southeast of Greensboro, and AL-14 just east of
 the city. The tornado then weakened to high EF-0 to low EF- 1
 strength as it moved into Perry County near Griffin Cemetery Road,
 and ultimately dissipated after snapping off its final few trees
 on Morgan Springs Road. At least 30 structures suffered varying
 degrees of damage.
 .Tornado #5 Fire Tower Road Tornado (Perry and Bibb Counties)...

 End Location: 2 NE Talladega National Forest / Bibb
 County / AL
 End Lat/Lon: 32.8965 / -86.9672
 Survey Summary:
 The tornado began near the Cahaba River west of National Forest
 Road 401D (NF-401D) and Barton Road based on radar estimation of a TDS.
 It developed quickly into a high end EF-0 by the time it brushed
 Double Branch Rd as it moved east-northeasterly over the forest.
 As it crossed Fire Tower Road, it reached maximum EF-1 intensity
 of 105 mph based on scores of snapped and uprooted pine trees
 right on the ridge. The tornado continued over forested land
 before crossing Pawtucky Road, where several pines and hardwoods
 were snapped. The tornado then began to weaken as it approached
 and crossed Alabama Highway 219 north of the Bibb/Perry county
 line. The decaying tornado continued eastward across U.S. Highway
 82, where storm chaser video showed a weak circulation crossing
 the highway. Dissipation occurred about one mile east of the
 highway.
 .Tornado #6 Selma Tornado (Dallas County)...
 Rating: EF2
 Estimated Peak Wind: 130 mph
 Path Length /statute/: 22.72 miles
 Path Width /maximum/: 800 yards

 End Time: 12:31 PM CST
 End Location: 1 SE Burnsville / Dallas County / AL
 End Lat/Lon: 32.4561 / -86.8786
 Survey Summary:
 National Weather Surveys have concluded that the damage across
 Dallas County was consistent with a high-end EF-2 tornado. The
 tornado began just east of Orrville near the intersection of Hwy
 22 and Cahaba Rd. As it moved northeast, it intensified as the
 damage path was nearly parallel with Hwy 22. The damage consisted
 of mainly uprooted trees with trunks that were snapped. There were
 also several manufactured homes that sustained roof and some foundation
 damage. As the tornado continued down Hwy 22, additional tree
 damage was observed as it neared the southwestern sections of
 Selma. The tornado quickly intensified as it entered the city
 limits of Selma, nearly parallel to Hwy 22/W Dallas Ave. the main
 damage indicators used were the uprooted hardwood trees and the
 snapped softwood trees. Most of the softwood trees were snapped
 about halfway up on the trunks. The daycare on W Dallas Ave and
 Cooper Dr sustained heavy exterior wall damage and was consistent
 with the higher-end EF2 wind speeds. Some debris rowing was also
 noted in the downstream vicinity. The second area of higher-end
 EF2 damage was noted downstream at the Selma Country Club where
 buildings had significant roof and exterior wall damage and there
 was a complete blow down of extremely large hardwood trees.
 Additional softwood trees were also snapped in and around adjacent
 streets. As the tornado continued further north and east, it
 entered the northern sections of downtown Selma. Nearly all of the
 damage continued to consist of mainly trees, with hard and
 softwood trees uprooted. The homes that sustained damage were
 observed to have roof material missing or fallen trees that
 impacted the structure. Very little damage observed to homes was
 directly wind related likely due to the sheltering nature of the
 very large and older trees that were embedded within the historic
 neighborhoods. However, the tree fall damage remained consistent
 with high-end EF-1 or low end EF-2. As the tornado exited
 downtown, it crossed Hwy 14, east of Selma, crossing Parkway Dr.
 Additional structure damage was noted with exterior walls the were
 collapsed consistent once again with higher EF-2 wind speeds. The
 tornado finally began to weaken and lift just east near the
 Brantley community near River Rd, but not before some significant
 damage was observed at the Dallas County Jail on Selfield Rd.
 .Tornado #7 Old Kingston-Lake Martin Tornado (Autauga, Elmore,
 Coosa, Tallapoosa, and Chambers Counties)...
 Rating: EF3
 Estimated Peak Wind: 150 mph
 Path Length /statute/: 76.67 miles
 Path Width /maximum/: 1500 yards
 Fatalities: 7
 Injuries: 16
 Start Date: 01/12/2023
 Start Time: 12:48 PM CST
 Start Location: 2 ESE Vida Junction / Autauga County / AL
 Start Lat/Lon: 32.5565 / -86.646

 End Time: 02:08 PM CST
 End Location: 1 E Penton / Chambers County / AL
 End Lat/Lon: 33.0069 / -85.4552
 Survey Summary:
 This long-track tornado began just east of U.S. Highway 82, where
 a manufactured home was rolled along Autauga County Road 40. Over
 the next two miles, the tornado rapidly strengthened as it
 approached the Old Kingston community, where EF-3 damage began
 along County Road 43. At this location, at least three
 manufactured homes were obliterated with their frames thrown up to 100
 yards. A pickup truck was sent airborne and landed 120 yards to
 the northeast, where a shallow crater was formed by its impact.
 The tornado became deadly as it impacted several homes along Sandy
 Ridge Road. The frame of a manufactured home at the western end
 of the road was thrown 250 yards to the north-northeast and came
 to rest in a field. Just downstream, several manufactured homes in
 a cluster were shredded and thrown considerable distances. Trees
 were snapped off relatively close to the ground and partially
 debarked. In total, five fatalities occurred along Sandy Ridge
 Road at three separate residences. Similar damage continued to the
 northeast along County Road 140, where a total of two fatalities
 occurred in two separate residences at the eastern end of the
 road. At least five manufactured homes were blown away with their
 frames thrown considerable distances. Several vehicles were picked
 up and thrown, and one pickup truck had its cab separated from
 the bed. From this area to the northeast to County Rd 42, the
 tornado caused massive tree damage and what appeared to be stands
 of debarked trees along Autauga Creek. In the three mile stretch
 of most severe damage from County Road 43 to County Road 42, wind
 speeds reached at least 150 mph. Based on the damage scene and
 contextual evidence, it is plausible that winds were stronger.
 However, with only manufactured homes in the path, there appear to
 be no damage indicators that will allow a higher rating. The
 tornado moved across County Road 57 at a slightly weaker state,
 where numerous trees were snapped and uprooted with several homes
 sustaining significant roof damage with one site-built home also
 sustaining partial wall failure.
 The tornado crossed Interstate 65 where trees were downed. In the
 Pine Level community, several homes sustained roof damage and a
 manufactured home was rolled off its foundation and onto County
 Road 68 E. Many trees were uprooted and snapped as the tornado
 crossed through the Pine Flat community. Additional homes
 sustained roof damage and other damage from fallen trees, and a
 manufactured home was rolled and destroyed. Residential structure
 damage intensified as the tornado neared the Autauga/Elmore
 county line where site-built homes sustained majority or entire
 roof removal along County Road 68 E near Poplar Springs Road.
 Similar residential structure damage was observed in northwest
 Elmore County as the tornado neared areas west of the Coosa River.
 The tornado then crossed the Coosa River, affecting Neely Road on
 the west bank and Kelly Road on the east bank, as well as nearby
 roads. As the tornado crossed Grays Ferry Road on the northeast
 side of Titus, the volume of snapped pine trees increased notably.
 Countless trees were snapped and uprooted as the tornado moved
 northeastward toward the Elmore/Coosa county line at Highway 231.
 Structural damage continued to consist of roof uplift or removal
 and damage from wind-blown debris and fallen trees. Radar showed a
 debris ball in southern Coosa County which match ground
 observation of a truly extensive area of snapped pine trees at and
 on either side (downstream and upstream) of the southern portion
 of McKissick Road, located between the communities Speed and
 Equality. The volume of snapped trees was enough to assign an EF-
 3 rating for this segment of the tornado's path. Additional
 significant damage occurred along County Road 18 where vehicles
 were moved or flipped, numerous trees were snapped, and site-
 built homes were heavily damaged with one destroyed. This was
 another area assigned EF-3 intensity. The tornado continued
 northeastward toward the Coosa/Tallapoosa county line where
 additional, relatively less intense timber damage was noted.
 Tornado damage continued into Tallapoosa County with a corridor
 of timber damaged observed along Cedar Creek and Elkahatchee
 Roads. Timber was snapped and uprooted and consistent with EF-1
 damage here. The tornado continued northeast crossing Highway 63 S
 approaching the Wind Creek State Park area. Timber damage was
 observed here. The tornado then moved toward Coven Abbett Road and
 then Elbert Road. Several homes sustained damage here, some
 significant with roofs blown off, boat houses destroyed, and
 adjacent significant timber damage as dozens of large hardwood
 trees were snapped and uprooted. Areas impacted near here were
 Elbert Drive, Loblolly Lane, and Elbert Rd. The tornado then
 crossed the northern section of Lake Martin before impacting
 additional lakefront homes. Numerous homes were damaged on River
 Run Road and the adjacent side streets. Some homes sustained
 significant damage with entire roofs blown away and exterior walls
 collapsed or removed. At least two home were shifted from their
 foundation. The high-end EF-2 damage here could be partly due to
 the interaction of the tornado with the lake surface, as well as
 the exposed nature of these homes since most structures inland
 seemed to be "sheltered" from adjacent heavily wooded areas. The
 tornado also damaged homes along Lake Ridge Drive. The tornado
 continued northeast causing pockets of EF-1 timber damage as it
 crossed US Highway 280. The tornado then moved across the rest of
 Tallapoosa County causing mainly varying degrees of timber damage
 in the EF-0 to EF-1 range, including the Sessions area. The
 tornado continued northeast into Chambers County causing
 additional swaths of mainly timber damage in the EF-0 to EF-1
 range. The tornado began its final weakening stage as it neared
 Highway 77, dissipating shortly after crossing County Road 114.

 Survey Summary:
 NWS meteorologists have surveyed damage in northeastern Chambers
 County and determined it was consistent with an EF2 tornado. The
 start point was a bit uncertain due to sporadic timber damage
 around Five Points, but appears to be near County Road 114 west
 of Highway 431 to the southwest of Five Points. Northeast of Five
 Points, the tornado intensified, snapping and uprooting many
 trees along County Road 267 and causing roof damage to a barn.
 The swath of timber damage became almost a mile wide along County
 Roads 281 and 282 and at least one residence there suffered roof
 damage. The tornado continued to intensify as it crossed County
 Road 268 where large swaths of pine trees were snapped. A
 manufactured home was completely destroyed and blown downstream
 near County Road 278; thankfully the family was not home at the
 time. Most of the structural damage happened along County Road
 284. A couple residences suffered significant shingle damage, one
 had siding damage, and a manufactured home had its porch ripped
 off, impacting its walls. Another manufactured building was blown
 off its footings. Another significant swath of snapped pines was
 observed on County Road 283, some snapped off only a couple feet
 off the ground. The tornado then crossed into Georgia, continuing
 to snap trees along West Point Lake.

 damage near Dewey Ivey Rd, snapping numerous pines. Additional
 damage downstream occurred near farm structures near Huey Faulk
 Rd. A home sustained damage due to a fallen tree on County Rd 15.
 The tornado continued northeast towards Teals Crossroads where
 additional timber damage occurred near Roberts Rd. Some minor
 structural damage was observed. The tornado continued east-
 northeast crossing County Rd 33 and Turner Rd before dissipating
 near Highway 10. NWS Birmingham would like to thank Molly and
