0351 PM     Tornado          3 WSW Hurricane         30.82N 87.95W
08/20/2026                   Baldwin            AL   NWS Storm Survey

            Review of available Sentinel 2, Planet, and
            NISAR satellite imagery along with
            public/media provided video helped to
            determine the track, intensity, and width of
            the tornado that occurred in the Mobile
            River Delta. It was determined an EF0 with
            peak winds of 70mph and width around 150
            yards occurred in the river delta just west
            of Briar Creek and south of the Mobile River
            causing minor tree damage along its track.
            The tornado crossed the far northern portion
            of the Mobile-Tensaw Cut-off Channel
            generally moving east-northeast before
            turning towards the northeast after crossing
            Briar Creek. It continued northeast across
            Big Lizard Creek near the railroad crossing
            adjacent to the Tensaw River, lifting at the
            river. Radar and satellite imagery support
            this being the end point of the tornado.
