Storm Surveys and Reports from March 15 Severe Weather Event


I think the tornado survey from Walker County is still in the process of being finalized, and as far as I know, only straight-line wind damage has been found in Cullman County from the same storm, as bad as things looked in real time. Please remember that National Weather Service personnel are working under a handicap right now, with many offices being short-staffed due to budget cuts that were made with more arrogance and haste than wisdom. And they can't help that. They are working as hard as they can and are strongly discouraged from discussing it publicly. Even Kenneth Graham, head of the National Weather Service who used to be in charge of NWS Birmingham locally, could lose his job if he talks about it. Pete Wolf mentioned that on the Weatherbrains podcast recently. So storm surveys have always taken some time to do right, but now the local offices are operating under unnecessary strain that is going to slow them down. It's just the way it is right now. 

This really was a significant severe weather outbreak across many states, produced several significant tornadoes. So hopefully when all the surveys are done, I'll see if I can put together all the surveys from different states into one post eventually.

End Lat/Lon:            34.9548 / -87.3609


Survey Summary:

The Lexington Tornado touched down on County Line Road 71 in a

field then tracked northeast. It hit an older two-car garage and

shifted it 2-3 inches from its foundation as well as damaged the

back half of the roof, but also snapped and uprooted a few large,

hardwood cedar trees. A small camper was also pushed into an

adjacent truck. The tornado continued northeast and downed and

uprooted numerous additional trees (both hardwood and softwood),

also damaging a fence. The tornado then uprooted and snapped more

trees, with these pointing in various directions, as it progressed

northeast. An outdoor, open-aired metal shed was demolished with

its contents strewn across the yard as well as debris scattered

across the residence and into the adjacent one. Across the street

were more downed trees, snapped limbs, and uprooted trees, with

another outdoor shed that had posts concreted into the ground,

collapsed. Trees caused roof damage to a home at this point and

damaged a vehicle next to it. As the tornado persisted, it

continued to snap trees and tree limbs, while uprooting numerous

other trees until it lifted just across County Road 51.


Lauderdale County EMA utilized their drone to discover that the

tornado started in the aforementioned field before it hit the two-

car garage and snapped the cedar trees. More downed trees were

also discovered via this drone footage around the midpoint of the

track. Special thanks to Lauderdale County EMA for their

assistance with this survey!

The tornado intensified as it approached County Road 60 where it

reached its maximum intensity of 90 miles per hour briefly.

Several trees were snapped with a few falling into an older

mobile home. The tornado then paralleled County Road

183 northeastward where several trees were seen uprooted or

snapped along or just east of the county road. The tornado

weakened as it crossed County Road 156 and the Pickens County

Line. It continued north-northeastward and re-intensified in a

wooded area east of Benvola Road. Numerous snapped trees were

observed along an unnamed dirt road. More trees were uprooted or

snapped along Lum Fife Road before the tornado eventually crossed

Highway 82 near Holman. Several trees were downed along Highway

Survey Summary:

National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage

associated with a tornado in Pickens County  that began around

4:32 PM on March 15, 2025. The tornado began in a wooded area

north of County Road 2, then moved northeastward across Houston

Windle Road near New Salem Missionary Baptist Church. The tornado

began to intensify as it moved northeastward, reaching EF-

1 strength as it crossed Ray Bass Road where numerous snapped

trees were observed.  The tornado continued to intensify,

reaching EF-2 strength with maximum winds around 115 miles per

hour as it crossed Ebenezer Church Road. It likely maintained

this strength as it continued northeastward, crossing Hwy

86 where widespread tree damage was noted. As the tornado moved

into the Bostic Community, it destroyed several chicken houses on

Russell Farm Road. One residence on Russell Farm Road sustained

significant roof damage, and one manufactured home to the north

of Russell Farm Road was lifted and displaced. Auger anchoring

systems were pulled from the ground, and the home was severely

damaged, but the frame was largely intact.  The tornado then

crossed Highway 82 on the west side of Gordo. A home sustained

substantial damage to the roof along Highway 159 near the

intersection of County Road 88. There were also numerous uprooted

and snapped trees observed around these locations. The then

tracked on the north side of County Road 88, destroying several

more chicken houses before weakening as it reached Fair Road

within a private hunting camp. It tracked northeast towards

County rd 13, crossing through and destroying several pine groves

along its path. In the area of most intense damage, a pine grove

featured hundreds of snapped trees in a width of roughly

500 yards. The EF2 rating was determined strictly from this area

of concentrated tree damage. The tornado began to weaken as it

crossed County road 13 just south of Alamuchee Creek where

multiple softwood trees were uprooted and a few were snapped. It

continued northeast where it then crossed a dirt road just east

of county road 13 where it produced sporadic tree damage. The

tornado dissipated shortly thereafter.

Allenville Road, producing minor tree damage to numerous cedar

trees.  The broad, weak but discernible tornado moved

northeastward crossing Allenville Road, CR 12, and AL Hwy

25 continuing to cause scattered tree damage. The tornado crossed

AL Hwy 61 north of Newbern, and began to turn more to the east.

It continued into Perry County, and as it crossed AL Hwy 14 it

produced the most significant tree damage of its path, with

numerous trees uprooted across the road.  The last tree damage of

this tornado occurred on Morgan Springs Road, before it moved off

tree damage was noted. There were several mobile homes damaged on

13th Street as the tornado paralleled Highway 31 before crossing

Interstate 65, where several campers at a dealership were rolled

and/or tossed. Numerous snapped trees were noted at this location

as well. The tornado made a left turn over Limestone Parkway and

moved north-northwest over a shopping center just east of the

intersection of US-31 and AL-70. Thereafter, the tornado moved

into the  cone of silence  of the KBMX RADAR near the O Neal

Quarry office, where many trees were snapped and uprooted. After

speaking with Lhoist quarry officials, no damage was reported at

the quarry, and the end of the tornado was placed just to the

north of Oak Tree Ln, where a few trees were downed. Maximum

End Lat/Lon:            33.3603 / -86.1623


Survey Summary:

National Weather Service Meteorologists surveyed damage in the

town of Winterboro and just to the northeast and determined that

the damage was consistent with a tornado.  The tornado touched

down just to the southwest of Winterboro High School, damaging

the football press box and surrounding baseball and softball

fields.  The tornado quickly intensified as it reached the Old

Winterboro High School building, lifting a school bus onto the

side of the gymnasium. The gymnasium sustained significant

damage, with walls mostly collapsed on more than one side.  Winds

were estimated to be around 120mph at this location, where wooden

power poles were also snapped.  Debris from the collapsed

gymnasium was blown across State Highway 76 and the old school

building also sustained roof damage. The tornado continued to the

northeast, where numerous trees were snapped and uprooted and

homes sustained damage due to falling trees at the intersection

of Highway 76 and 21.  As the tornado moved parallel to Bob White

Road, it maintained EF-2 intensity along the roadway and

destroyed a single-wide manufactured home.  The debris from the

home was blown westward across Bob White Road.  One fatality

occurred at this location.  Outside of the peak intensity of the

tornado, some homes and farm outbuildings sustained roof damage

on the far eastern edge of the path on Bob White Road.  The

tornado continued northeastward, weakening as it crossed Bullocks

Ferry Rd and finally lifting just to the northeast of Whiting Rd

and Lawler Cir.  The tornado totaled 3.63 miles and had an

estimated width of 500 yards.


.Plantersville Tornado...


Rating:                 EF3

End Date:               03/15/2025

End Time:               09:20 PM CDT

End Location:           1 WSW Clanton / Chilton County / AL

End Lat/Lon:            32.8339 / -86.6501


Survey Summary:

The tornado formed and intensified quickly about 2 mile south of

Plantersville along County Road 63, uprooting swaths of trees

right from the start.  The tornado traveled northward into

Plantersville and intensified to its maximum intensity of a

140 MPH EF3 tornado in the south end of town, where trees across

the entire area were uprooted, snapped, and even debarked.

Several homes and businesses were destroyed, which unfortunately

resulted in 2 fatalities and 2 injuries.  The tornado began a

more northeasterly trajectory as it left Plantersville, but still

remained strong as it crossed into Autauga County.  Entire swaths

of hardwood trees were uprooted and snapped, and estimates were

given the maximum rating possible for tree fall/tree snap at

134 MPH.  Had there been other damage indicators impacted, it is

quite likely that portions in Autauga would also have been rated

at the EF3 level.  The tornado continued northeastward into

Chilton County.  As it approached County Road 64 it broadened out

and produced another area of maximum value tree snaps, where

acres and acres of pine trees were snapped at 10 to 20 feet above

the ground.  It next crossed US Hwy 82, where 2 manufactured

homes had anchoring system failures and were vaulted and

completely destroyed, landing some 200 yards from their original

location.  All the occupants were sheltered in a concrete shelter

and came through the storm physically unscathed.  As the tornado

crossed Chilton CR 17, a well built brick home had its roof

completely removed with some exterior wall failure.  Again, the

occupant had made the conscious decision to shelter elsewhere

with family members in a basement.  EF2 level damage occurred as

the tornado crossed county roads 15 and 341.  As the tornado

crossed CR 76, a well built home suffered damage when doors on

the main level were blown open, with the force of the breach

causing windows in an upper level bedroom to blow out.  A double

wide manufactured home at the back of the property was vaulted

and destroyed.  From here, the tornado took a more easterly

trajectory and began to gradually weaken, causing mainly tree

damage as it crossed south central Chilton County, before

dissipating in the West End portion of the city of Clanton.


.County Rd 29 Tornado...

End Location:           3 ESE Weogufka / Coosa County / AL

End Lat/Lon:            32.9973 / -86.2715


Survey Summary:

National Weather Service Meteorologists surveyed damage in rural

southwestern Coosa County and determined that the damage was

consistent with a tornado.  The tornado began over the Coosa

Wildlife Management area in extreme southwestern Coosa County,

just east of the Coosa River based on satellite imagery.

Unfortunately, that area of the county was not accessible by the

survey crew.  The first area of damage that was accessible

occurred just southwest of County Rd 15, where numerous trees

were snapped and uprooted. The tornado continued northeast,

crossing CC Camp Rd where weak tree damage was noted. The tornado

intensified as it moved northeast and crossed County Rd 29.  The

most extensive damage was found at this location, where numerous

trees were snapped and a double-wide manufactured home was

destroyed. No anchors were found where the manufactured home

originally stood. Farm outbuildings at the same residence were

also destroyed, along with roof damage to surrounding homes.

Winds were estimated at 110mph at this location. Although

difficult to access, EF-0 and EF-1 tree damage was noted farther

to the northeast along County Roads 56 and 18. With areas farther

northeast inaccessible and no damage noted along US Highway 231,

the end point was estimated just beyond County Rd 18.

End Location:           1 NNE Daviston / Tallapoosa County / AL

End Lat/Lon:            33.0711 / -85.6254


Survey Summary:

National Weather Service Meteorologists surveyed damage in

Tallapoosa County and determined that the damage was consistent

with a tornado.  The tornado quickly touched down near Russell

Ferry Estates, crossing County Rd 40 and passing over Midway

Estates Rd. Extensive EF-0 tree damage was observed in this area.

 Some trees fell on homes, where roof damage was sustained.  As

the tornado crossed US Highway 280, minor damage occurred to some

metal buildings of businesses, and numerous trees were snapped or

uprooted.  Farther to the northeast, extensive tree damage was

noted on Abbett Dr, with concentrated tree damage occurring on

Camp Ascca Rd.  A manufactured home sustained roof and

underpinning damage close by, but remained anchored despite

witnesses mentioning that the home almost lifted off the ground.

Just 50 to 75 yards to the west of the home, extensive EF-2 tree

damage was observed. The tornado intensified as it almost

paralleled Rock Springs Road, where a single-wide manufactured

home was destroyed and debris blown 50 to 75 yards away.  Winds

were estimated at 120mph at this location.  The most extensive

tornado damage occurred on McBride Loop just off Rock Springs

Road, where countless numbers of large trees were snapped and

uprooted next to a small lake. In this same location, a single-

wide manufactured home was destroyed, with debris from the home

blown 50 to 75 yards to the northeast.  Thankfully, the resident

of the home was not present and had decided to stay at a local

community storm shelter the night of the event.  Winds were also

estimated at 120mph in this area. Notably, several other homes

located along McBride Loop were left mostly unscathed, and those

that did sustain damage were due to fallen trees. The tornado

continued northeastward at EF-2 intensity as it crossed over Rock

Springs Rd once again, then followed Horseshoe Bend Rd to the

Tallapoosa River.  From there, the tornado moved across Horseshoe

Bend National Military Park. After contacting the Acting Park

Superintendent, valuable information and photos were provided

that indicated extensive EF-2 tree damage on the southwestern and

northeastern side of the park property. Near the battlefield

site, numerous trees were snapped and uprooted, extensively

blocking the Loop Tour Road and causing damage to outbuildings

and an exhibit pavilion. The tree damage on the northeast side of

the park property was very extensive, with countless trees

snapped. Where highest winds occurred, very few trees were left

standing. The tornado continued northeastward crossing County Rd

79 multiple times and moving through the Daviston Community with

EF-0 and EF-1 tree damage noted along the way. Finally, the

tornado moved along Motley Rd and Lil Beaver Rd before finally

lifting.  No damage was found farther northeast along Cotney Rd.

The NWS would like to thank Tallapoosa County EMA and National

Park Service employees for their assistance in conducting this

survey and providing additional information.

End Lat/Lon:            31.9491 / -85.723


Survey Summary:

The tornado first touched down on Pike County Road 2228 south of

Troy and west of AL Hwy 87 where a few branches were broken from

several trees in the area.  It traveled northeastward crossing

Pike County Lake Road and then AL Hwy 87.  As it approached Enzor

Rd, it caused significant roof damage to the Troy Parks and

Recreation building, as well as the softball fields at Troy

Sportsplex.  The tornado began to strengthen to EF1 strength as

it approached US Hwy 231, causing significant tree damage with

numerous trees snapped or uprooted, as well as causing

significant damage to a service station canopy.  It continued to

intensify and cause widespread tree damage as it moved up the

Walnut Creek.  The tornado gained its maximum strength at 130 MPH

as it approached Elm Street Road, where one home received major

damage and was rendered uninhabitable.  Several other homes

received indirect damage from tree fall in the area, where barely

a single tree was left standing.  The tornado remained intense as

it crossed Butter and Egg Road, causing widespread tree damage.

The tornado veered slightly eastward and moved into banks, where

widespread tree damage continued, and a metal building received

significant damage as well.  Continuing to the northeast, the

tornado began to gradually weaken in eastern Pike county,

primarily causing more sporadic, less intense tree damage, and

minor damage to structures.  As the tornado crossed into southern

Bullock county, it continued to narrow and weaken until ending at

Bullock CR 8 west of Perote.

Public Information Statement

National Weather Service Nashville TN

121 PM CDT Sun Mar 16 2025


...NWS Damage Survey for March 15, 2025 Tornado Event Update #1...


On Saturday, March 15th, 2025, a line of showers and thunderstorms 

moved through Middle TN. As the north-south line of storms crossed 

over US Hwy 41A, it intensified causing a tornado to touch down 

between US Hwy 41A and US 231. A couple hours later, a strong 

mesocyclone moved out of Alabama and into Grundy county in southern 

Middle TN. Strong straight line winds caused extensive damage in 

Palmer, TN.


.EF-1/Christiana...


Rating:                 EF1

Estimated Peak Wind:    95 mph

Path Length /statute/:  4.49 miles

Path Width /maximum/:   300 yards

Fatalities:             0

Start Date:             03/15/2025

End Date:               03/15/2025

End Time:               03:26 PM CDT

End Location:           9 NW Bell Buckle / Rutherford County / TN

End Lat/Lon:            35.6926 / -86.4573


Survey Summary:


The EF-1 tornado first touched down in far northwest Bedford

County near Carter Crossroads on Kingdom Road. At this location,

a half dozen outbuildings, storage buildings, and barns were

damaged or destroyed. The tornado continued east-northeast where

some minor damage occurred to homes along Longview Road. Garage

doors were blown in, fences were knocked down, outbuildings were

destroyed, and minor roof damage was observed. The tornado then

moved into far southwestern Rutherford County where trees were

downed on Threet Road as well as a few outbuildings damaged. More

tree damage was observed as the tornado approached Williams Road.

This area is no stranger to tornadoes as this tornado crossed the

path of the November 2018 Christiana tornado here. This path was

also just south of the May 2024 Christiana tornado as well.  This

tornado crossed Midland Road and finally lifted near Jones Road

before reaching Highway 231.



.Grundy County/Palmer Straight Line Wind Damage...


After an exhaustive survey of the damage near Palmer in Grundy County,

a NWS survey team has determined the damage in this area to be caused 

by straight line winds with max wind speed of 95 mph. The width of the 

damage path was determined to be over a mile wide, ruling out a tornado. 

These very strong downsloping microburst winds blew straight into 

Palmer causing many trees to be uprooted and snapped, along with some 

structural damage in the area. All trees were fell in the generally 

the same direction with no narrow tornado path found.


Special thanks to Matt Griffith of Grundy County EMA for his 

assistance with the storm damage survey.
