Survey Summary:
A tornado touchdown was recorded just south of County Road 72 in
Tenbroeck, Alabama. There was damage to the roof of a chicken
house where roof panels were peeled off the structure. The
structure is oriented from west to east with the roof panel
damage oriented south to north indicating winds opposite of the
primary storm motion. A second area of damage was to a pole barn
that was pushed over along with the roof breaking off of its
4x4 support beams. The roof materials were spread to the east
northeast which would have been away from the storm motion. A
third area of damage was to a small barn which had several roof
panels blown off. The structure was also leaning from west to
east. The tornado lifted just south of the small barn with no
other damage found. Thank you to Dekalb County EMA for their
assistance with completing this storm survey.
