SURVEY SUMMARY:
THE TORNADO TOUCHED DOWN JUST SOUTH OF THE INTERSECTION OF
KLEINSCHMIDT ROAD AND COUNTY ROAD 87, WHERE MINOR TREE DAMAGE WAS
OBSERVED. TRAVELING TO THE NORTHEAST, THE TORNADO CROSSED COUNTY
ROAD 87, UPROOTING A COUPLE OF TREES AND REMOVING PORTIONS OF THE
ROOF FROM A SMALL BARN. THE TORNADO CONTINUED TO THE NORTHEAST
BEFORE STRENGTHENING ALONG WOERNER ROAD SOUTH. HERE, A LARGE BARN
LOST MUCH OF ITS METAL ROOF PANELING, AND SEVERAL TREES WERE
UPROOTED. THE TORNADO APPEARS TO HAVE LIFTED BEFORE CROSSING
WOERNER ROAD. SPECIAL THANKS TO THE BALDWIN COUNTY EMA FOR THEIR
ASSISTANCE WITH THIS SURVEY.
