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.
