Survey Summary:
An NWS Storm Survey determined a tornado touched down just west of downtown
Scottsboro. The initial touchdown point was indicated by snapped tree
branches on Old Larkinsville Rd. Scattered tree damage was observed
continuing generally southeast towards Highway 35. Limited infrastructure
damage was found along Highway 35 including the peeling of metal roofing
and siding. Between Highway 35 and Parks Ave several trees were found
uprooted, snapped, and with loss of limbs. Due to the limited
infrastructure damage found on Highway 35 and the uprooted trees, the
maximum intensity of this tornado was deemed an EF0. Thank you to Jackson
County EMA and the Scottsboro Fire Department for their assistance during
this survey.
