The tornado ended just before reaching County Road 276. The estimated maximum wind gust was 105 mph.
13:14Z EF2 KMOB MS Wayne Whistler The tornado began in a heavily forested area west of Elbert|Mozingo Road and quickly traveled east across Elbert Mozingo Road|causing extensive tree damage to a large pine tree stand. Almost|all of the trees were snapped near the base suggesting upper bound|damage indicator. The tornado then continued east into a|forested area as it weakened briefly. The tornado then rapidly|strengthen again to its peak intensity of 130 mph south of Jim|Pitts Road. This damage was estimated by sentinel satellite data|as an extensive damage scar was noted with almost complete|deforestation occurring similar to other tornadoes that were rated|at 130 mph. The tornado then weakened as it approached Jim Pitts|Road from the south and lifted based off satellite data.
13:18Z EF0 KDGX MS Lauderdale Whynot An EF-0 tornado began around the intersection of Causeyville Whynot Road and Harve Chatham Road and moved east through the Whynot community. It snapped and uprooted trees as it crossed MS Highway 19 and Old Highway 19, with one tree falling onto a home in the area. The tornado ended shortly after crossing Ponds Road. The estimated maximum wind gust was 85 mph.
13:19Z EF1 KMOB MS Wayne Whistler Tornado began west of Maynor Creek Road and south of Jim Pitts|Road estimated by sentinel satellite imagery. Damage was then|noted along Maynor Creek Road where several trees were uprooted|and snapped. A swath of trees snapped along the path that may have|been associated with a secondary vortex south of the main damage|swath. The tornado then continued east across Troy Sanderson Drive|and Dick Sanderson drive where trees were uprooted and snapped. A|couple homes had minor roof damage and a carport was lofted about|40 feet into a tree. The tornado appears to have weakened and|lifted shortly after Dick Sanderson Drive.
13:36Z EF1 KMOB MS Wayne Denham A brief but strong EF1 tornado began in the forested area west of|Duncan Hill Road. The tornado then quickly crossed Duncan Hill|Road snapping and uprooting numerous softwood trees. Several trees|fell on a home causing damage to the home. The tornado then|continued into the woods where the path was not able to be|tracked; however, it appears to have lifted somewhere in the|wooded areas east of Duncan Hill Road.
14:03Z EF2 KMOB AL Clarke Coffeeville A strong EF2 tornado touched down on the Choctaw County side of|the Tombigbee River on 4/5/22 at 9:03 AM CDT. Aerial survey|revealed the tornado rapidly widened and intensified as it crossed|the river, reaching its peak intensity and width on the Clarke|County side at 130 mph and 800 yards in width. The forest along|and east of the river was mowed down with countless hardwood and|softwood trees snapped/uprooted. The tornado continued towards|West Bend Road where it produced EF1 damage over a wide swath|around 550 yards wide. The tornado entered a very distinct multi|vortex phase with three notable convergent damage patterns with|snapped softwood/hardwood trees at this point. This continued|east-northeast to Highway 69 where the tornado remained somewhere|between 500 to 600 yards wide as a multi-vortex doing EF1 damage,|snapping several hardwoods/softwoods and causing some minor to|moderate roof damage to homes. As the tornado moved northeast|towards Bethel Road, it weakened and narrowed in size considerably|only doing a small swath of EF0 damage. The tornado then turned|right towards the east and re-intensified into an EF1 at|Friendship Road with winds upwards of 95 mph as it snapped several|softwood trees. After this, the tornado weakened quickly coming|to an end on Smyer Road where only a couple snapped softwood trees|were noted. A special thanks to Alabama Law Enforcement Agency|and Clarke County EMA for conducting the aerial survey to help|ascertain the peak width and intensity of the tornado.
14:10Z EF1 KMOB AL Clarke Coffeeville A unique, brief satellite tornado began south of the Clarke County|EF2 tornado on 4/5/22 at approximately 9:10 AM CDT. This satellite|tornado produced EF1 damage where several softwood trees were|snapped/uprooted on Ice Plant Road. The tornado continued east-|northeast impacting a barn where there was significant loss of|roofing material and side covering. The tornado also uprooted a|large oak tree at this location. The tornado then quickly turned|east crossing Bethel Road and reaching Smyer Road as an EF0|snapping a couple softwood trees. The tornado completed its arc|around the southern periphery of the EF2 tornado with the|satellite tornado tracking due north along Smyer Road just before|Friendship Road, lifting just shy of the primary tornado|circulation. EF0 damage with a couple uprooted softwood trees were|the last observable damage at this point.
15:10Z EF1 KBMX AL Monroe Turnbull A brief EF1 tornado occurred on 4/5/22 at 10:10 AM CDT in northeast|Monroe County just west northwest of Riley, AL. The tornado began along|Highway 21 North where many hardwood trees were uprooted. The next|observable damage point was north northeast of Riley once again|on Highway 21 North at Flat Creek where there were multiple|snapped softwood trees supporting a peak intensity of EF1 at|100 mph. The tornado may have continued northeast from here,|however due to limited road access the end point is estimated just|northeast of the prior observable damage point.
15:54Z EF2 KMXX AL Elmore Wetumpka National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in southern Elmore County and determined that it was consistent with an EF2 tornado, with maximum winds near 134 mph. The tornado touched down on Harrogate Springs Road and tracked northeast snapping and uprooting trees. It strengthened to EF2 as it crossed Wildwood Lane where a large swath of trees were snapped and one residence suffered significant damage. The tornado weakened as it crossed Jimshill Road and dissipated near Firetower Road.
15:56Z EF2 KMXX AL Crenshaw Petrey A brief yet strong EF2 tornado occurred on 4/5/22 in Crenshaw|County by Petrey, AL at 10:56 AM CDT. The tornado began just|before Lapine Highway where it uprooted and snapped several|softwood trees. The tornado crossed the Highway, gradually|widening and causing some damage to the roof of a church while|continuing to snap and uproot softwood trees. The tornado quickly|impacted a chicken farm off of Shady Grove Road where one chicken|house was completely destroyed supporting the initial EF2 damage|location. As the tornado continued northeast, the radius of EF2|winds widened considerably. Winds peaked around 125 mph in the|adjacent forest resulting in complete devastation of approximately|20 to 30 acres of trees where numerous snapped softwoods and|snapped or uprooted hardwoods were observed. As the tornado|approached Smith Chapel Road, it began to quickly shrink in size|and weaken uprooting or snapping a handful of trees with no|notable damage after it crossed the road.
16:03Z EF1 KMXX AL Pike Ansley National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in northwest Pike County and determined that it was consistent with an EF1 tornado, with maximum winds near 110 mph. The tornado touched down just west of the intersection of County Road 1107 and 1101. The tornado tracked northeast nearly paralleling County Road 1107 where damage consisted of numerous snapped and uprooted trees, some of which fell on and caused significant damage to a residence. The tornado also produced minor roof damage to additional nearby homes and shifted a manufactured home off of its block piers. It crossed into southeast Montgomery County just west of Little Patsaliga Creek.
16:06Z EF0 KMXX AL Elmore Good Hope National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in eastern Elmore County and determined that it was consistent with an EF0 tornado, with maximum winds near 85 mph. The tornado touched down along Highway 14 just east of County Road 186.|Damage consisted mostly of uprooted trees with some structural damage caused by fallen trees. A few homes also had damage caused directly by wind, such as missing shingles, soffit, and fascia. A carport was also blown off a home. The tornado dissipated |at Kent Road.
16:09Z EF2 KMXX AL Montgomery Curry National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in southeast Montgomery County and determined that it was consistent with an EF2 tornado, with maximum winds near 120 mph. This tornado originated in northeast Pike County and crossed into Montgomery county just west of Little Patsaliga Creek. The tornado reached its peak intensity just after crossing into Montgomery County where is caused the collapse of metal electric transmission tower. The tornado tracked northeast and crossed County Road 94 where numerous trees were uprooted and snapped. The tornado then crossed Highway 231 where several homes suffered loss of roofing. It weakened as it approached Meriwether Trail and lifted just after crossing Meriwether Trail.
16:19Z EF1 KMXX AL Macon Franklin National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in northern Macon County and determined that it was consistent with an EF1 tornado, with maximum winds near 90 mph. The tornado touched down along Highway 49 in the Franklin community. |The tornado moved somewhat erratically northeastward, crossed largely harvested forested fields as it approached Macon County Road 36, breaking a few large tree limbs or causing a few trees to lean into others. The tornado continued across open fields before breaking large limbs along Chewacla Creek. After crossing the creek, the tornado crossed the site of the historic Tuskegee Army Airfield, intermittently snapping or uprooting numerous young softwood trees, and continued across Macon County Road 56. The tornado then seemed to intensify somewhat as it approached Alabama Highway 199, where 10 to 20 mature pine trees were snapped. The tornado quickly weakened and dissipated just east of Highway 199 in the vicinity of Bulger Creek.
16:20Z EFU KMXX AL Crenshaw Petrey After extensive analysis of data provided by PERiLs, sentinel |sattelite imagery, and third-party pressure data in conjunction |with multiple surrounding radars it has been determined that |another tornado occurred 1 mile NNW of Petrey, AL on 4/5/2022. |This tornado was associated with the line segment that was moving |through the area roughly 25 minutes after the initial tornado |producing supercell. During the initial storm survey there were |several discrepancies noted in the overall damage path that did |not quite line up with the initial tornado path including |snapped/uprooted trees by a pond and the damage done to the |southern portion of the chicken houses. Given the overlapping |paths and likely similar start points, it is impossible to |determine what the true intensity, path width, path length, and |end point of this tornado was. The beginning time of the tornado |is estimated by radar and third party pressure data. Special |thanks to all parties involved for providing invaluable data that |supported this determination.
16:22Z EF0 KMXX AL Tallapoosa Church Hill National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in southern Tallapoosa County and determined that it was consistent with an EF0 tornado, with maximum winds near 80 mph. An weak tornado touched down along a Buck Creek just southwest of Buck Creek Road. Damage consisted mainly of downed trees with some structural damage caused by fallen trees/limbs. The tornado dissipated about one-third of a mile northeast of the intersection of Wildlife Road and Deer Path Road.
16:34Z EF0 KMXX AL Montgomery Curry National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in southeast Montgomery County and determined that it was consistent with an EF1 tornado, with maximum winds near 100 mph. The tornado touched down near Highway 94. It tracked east|were several trees were uprooted along Highway 231. Numerous trees were snapped in the front yard of a home on Old Highway 231 where the greatest degree of tree damage was found, but this home was not able to be accessed due to the amount of trees covering the driveway. Other nearby homes only received minor roof or siding damage. The tornado crossed into Pike County just north of Jackson Creek.
16:38Z EF0 KMXX AL Pike Orion National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in northern Pike County and determined that it was consistent with an EF0 tornado, with maximum winds near 85 mph. This tornado started in southeast Montgomery County and crossed into Pike County just north of Jackson Creek. The tornado tracked eastward over rural areas with damage consisting mainly of uprooted trees.
16:45Z EF0 KMXX AL Chambers Blackman National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in western Chambers County and determined that it was consistent with an EF0 tornado, with maximum winds near 80 mph. A brief weak tornado touched down near County Road 33 where an outbuilding was damaged with sheet metal blown downwind. Otherwise, some trees were snapped and uprooted along the short path of the tornado.
16:50Z EF1 KMXX AL Bullock Almeria National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in southwest Bullock County and determined that it was consistent with an EF1 tornado, with maximum winds near 95 mph. A tornado touched down near Mascott Road and tracked eastward across Beaverdam Creek. As it approached County Road 14 in the High Ridge area, the tornado intensified and broadened, uprooting numerous softwood trees or snapping large limbs on some hardwood trees, especially alongside the road. The tornado then ascended the High Ridge area and dissipated somewhere over inaccessible land west of Alabama Highway 223.
17:38Z EF1 KEOX AL Barbour Eufaula National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in northeastern Barbour County and determined that it was consistent with an EF1 tornado, with maximum winds near 95 mph. The tornado touched down near the northern point of the Walter F George Reservoir and tracked northeast and crossed Highway 82, where a few trees were uprooted and snapped. The tornado then crossed Highway 431, where a large pecan tree was uprooted and fell on a house, rendering it unlivable. The tornado began to weaken once it crossed Highway 431, producing mainly tree limb damage before dissipating.
18:04Z EF1 KFFC GA Chattahoochee Heineburg Village A tornado touched down on the east side of Fort Benning over|northeast Chattahoochee County as a line of strong to severe|thunderstorms crossed the area. Given the location of the|tornado, majority of the damage was to trees that were seen|snapped or uprooted. An aerial survey along with radar data and|ground pictures confirmed the track was just under 7 miles with|maximum winds around 90 mph. The tornado appeared|to lift just before the Marion county line. [4/5/22: Tornado #1, County #1/1, EF-1, Chattahoochee, 2022:004].
18:24Z EF0 KEOX AL Henry Kirkland Crossroads A small tornadic debris signature (TDS) was present and moved southeastward before dissipating. A few trees were blown down in the area, but no structures were impacted in this rural area.
18:29Z EF1 KFFC GA Taylor Norwich An EF1 tornado quickly spun up as it entered Taylor County near |the county line in the community of Mauk. Several trees were |snapped and uprooted along Mt. Zion Church Road. The tornado |continued east quickly intensifying to max intensity as it crossed|Hwy 90. Numerous trees were snapped and uprooted on both sides of|Hwy 90. Also noteworthy were large clumps of grass pulled from |the ground in an open field on the west side of Hwy 90. The |tornado continued ENE where several homes sustained damage along |Henry Currington Road either from wind damaging the roof or trees |falling onto or near them. The storm continued along Henry |Currington Road where a chicken house was nearly destroyed and a |nearby home sustained minor roof damage and the barn was |completely collapsed. The tornado continued ENE into a largely |uninhabited wooded area where both radar and areal survey confirm |that it weakened and lifted. [4/5/22: Tornado #2, County #1/1, EF-1, Taylor, 2022:005].
18:38Z EF0 KEOX AL Geneva Malvern An EF0 tornado initially tracked through portions of Malvern, AL. The path began near Firecracker Road where some minor damage was found. The tornado then crossed the Magnolia Grove Mobile Home Community along Wynwood Ln where more notable damage occurred. The stairway of one home was displaced about 5 ft from the front door. An adjacent mobile home suffered major roof loss, while another near the community entrance had a wooden projectile impale its side. The tornado then caused some damage along County Road 93 between Malvern Highway and East College Avenue where mostly broken tree limbs were found. Additional damage occurred in portions of Rehobeth along Branton Road near South Park Avenue, mostly to a few outbuildings with a large uprooted tree leaning against a home. The end point is near Porter Road just off County Road 203 where two large oak trees were uprooted at two neighboring properties.

18:50Z EF1 KFFC GA Taylor Fickling Mill The parent storm responsible for the EF1 tornado in western |Taylor County recycled and a new tornado formed near the McCants |Mill Pond area along Thomaston Hwy north of Butler. A few trees |were snapped and uprooted along the highway. The tornado continued|northeast in a largely uninhabited forested area before crossing |Roberta Hwy snapping and uprooted trees. The tornado reached |maximum intensity in the Fickling Mill area where large groves of |trees were completely snapped and/or uprooted as it crossed |Roberta Hwy east of Fickling Mill. Several trees were downed in an|around Fickling Mill and some roof damage was noted at the Mill |as well. The EF1 tornado lifted before reaching the county line in|the Pearce Road area. Areal survey confirms the storm lifted |before reaching the county line. [4/5/22: Tornado #3, County #1/1, EF-1, Taylor, 2022:006].
18:53Z EF0 KEOX AL Houston Cowarts A third tornado briefly swept through a small area in Cowarts, along the north side of US-84. The main damage were a few uprooted large trees, a couple of which fell onto the side of a home and on top of a parked car. Other trees in the vicinity sustained more minor damage and a couple of neighboring outbuildings had some roof panels stripped.

Duggar Ave and S. Matthews St.snapping |and uprooting trees with mostly EF0 type wind damage. The storm |then turned NE crossing HWY 42 near Old Knoxville Road where a few|trees were downed. The storm then continued NE crossing Running |Deer Rd, Sandy Point Circle, Daisy Lane before lifting shortly |after crossing Causey Road. All of the damage from the south side |of Roberta east to the end of the path was EF0. The EF1 level |damage occurred from the beginning of the path to Rigdon Rd. [4/5/22: Tornado #5, County #1/1, EF-1, Crawford, 2022:008].
19:15Z EF1 KEOX GA Early Centerville A tornado touched down in a field along Three Notch road. It snapped and uprooted several large pine trees along the edge of the field. The tornado then uprooted and snapped several large live oak trees at a residence along the intersection of US highway 27 and Taylor Harris road. The tornado moved towards Sandy Bottom road where a few pine trees were snapped or uprooted. This tornado was rated an EF1 with maximum estimated winds around 90 mph. A dual-pol tornadic debris signature (TDS) was evident on KEOX radar.
19:15Z EF1 KEOX GA Early Centerville A tornado touched down in a stand of trees across a field from Old Lucile road. It continued to uproot several trees in front of the houses along Old Lucile road, as well as lifting part of a metal roof on a small house. The tornado continued eastward towards Three Notch road into Miller county where a live oak tree was uprooted, and a couple large pine trees were snapped halfway up. The tornado again continued east where a couple outbuildings and trees were blown down along Cooper Loop, Cannon road, and Charlie Tiner road. The tornado then lifted before it would have crossed US highway 27. This tornado was rated EF1 with maximum estimated winds around 90 mph. A dual-pol tornadic debris signature (TDS) was evident on KEOX radar.
19:26Z EF2 KJGX GA Dooly Byromville A tornado rapidly developed and intensified near Pinehurst- |Byromville Rd and Nelleville Rd east of Byromville destroying five|large, strongly anchored grain bins. Most of the 4 foot long, 1 |foot wide concrete anchors holding the bins in place were ripped |out of the ground and a 6 inch steel beam that was still attached |to another concrete anchor still in the ground was bent to a 20 |degree angle. The bins were less than 5 years old and each bolted |to concrete foundations, yet were ripped out of their foundations |and thrown 20 to 30 yards away. Some of the steel paneling of the |bins were thrown 1/2 mile east into trees in a nearby field. A |semi- tractor trailer at this intersection was ripped from its rig|and thrown 30 feet across Nelleville Rd. A University of Georgia |Mesonet weather station also located at this intersection was |damaged but continued to report wind and pressure data (the cup |anemometer did not appear damaged), measuring a maximum gust of |129.3 mph. The intensity of damage decreased as the tornado traveled east- |northeast uprooting or snapping numerous trees and rolling over at|least 6 irrigation towers along the path.

Some structural (mainly minor roof) damage |occurred in this area, and especially between Crestline Drive and |Thornwood Drive, just west of I-75. [4/5/22: Tornado #7, County #1/1, EF-1, Dooly, 2022:010].
19:49Z EF3 KJGX GA Houston Bonaire A tornado rapidly intensified as it approached the Bonaire |community of northeast Houston County during the mid afternoon |hours of Tuesday, April 5th. As the tornado went across an open |field near the Old Hawkinsville Road and Cullen Road intersection,|two large high-tension transmission (power) towers were destroyed|and another large concrete power pole was snapped near its base. |Winds between 135 and 155 mph are a typical maximum wind-load |range for these electric towers/poles, supporting the rapidly |developing, now strong (EF2+) tornado. ||The tornado crossed the open field and did significant damage to |multiple homes. The first house had large sections of its roof and|second floor removed/torn away, along with numerous large trees |surrounding the property snapped near their bases. Not more than |150 yards away (to the northeast), two additional homes were hit |hard, with one completely destroyed. The damage around these areas|was consistent with EF2 to EF3 rating, with max winds approaching|160 MPH.||Less than 2 minutes later, the powerful tornado hit the south |side of Stathams Landing (neighborhood) where multiple homes had |minor to significant damage, particularly along Fairways Drive up |to Fifth Fairway. The worst of the damage in these locations |occurred at several homes along Fairways Drive were parts of the |roof and second story were destroyed, in addition to numerous |large trees snapped and uprooted around the properties. |Thankfully, the tornado appeared to have weakened slightly here, |but EF1 to low-end EF2 damage still was noted. Beyond Fifth |Fairway (street) is just open field/marsh area before Sandy Run |Creek and the county line. Little additional damage occurred here |and this drastic weakening of the tornado was supported by radar |as well. [4/5/22: Tornado #8, County #1/1, EF-3, Houston, 2022:011].
19:50Z EF3 KCLX SC Allendale Allendale Oswald Arp A National Weather Service Storm Survey Team confirmed an EF-3 tornado with an estimated maximum wind speed of 137 mph in Allendale County, South Carolina. The tornado touched down just north of the intersection of Bluff Road and Best Loop Road at 250 PM, then tracked rapidly northeast across Fitts Road and St. Mark Road, where it completely destroyed a few mobile homes, and injured one person. The mobile home damage in this area was sufficient to justify a low-end EF-3 rating. The tornado then continued to the northeast across Burton Road and Allendale-Fairfax Highway, where it produced significant damage to a building and many trees. From here, the tornado continued a path across Confederate Highway and then across the northern end of Sycamore, ending on the northeast side of Sycamore near Williams Road at 310 PM.
