northeastward and passed just north of Wind Creek State Park, where it produced significant and widespread tree damage between Highway 128 and the
shores of Lake Martin. The tornado caused significant damage to several homes in the Pineywoods Area. It then crossed Lake Martin and came ashore in
the River Bend Subdivision, where it snapped or uprooted hundreds more trees. The tornado continued moving to the northeast and crossed Highway 280,
just west of Midway, producing minor tree damage. It passed north of Jacksons Gap and passed just south of Eagle Creek, where it widened to over
one-quarter mile. It destroyed one double-wide manufactured home and two single-wides. As the storm crossed Alabama 49, it lofted and destroyed a
single-wide manufactured home, fatally injuring one individual. The tornado path broadened to approximately 1000 yards as it crossed Elder Road. Farther to
the east, approximately 14 homes received mainly roof damage and scores of trees were snapped or uprooted on Buttston Road, just north of Denver
Road. The tornado continued into eastern Tallapoosa County, and then moved into Chambers County, where it eventually lifted.

An area of showers and thunderstorms developed and moved across portions of Tennessee during the morning of March 16th. An
outflow boundary from this area of storms moved southward into east central Alabama. While the outflow boundary provided enough
lift for thunderstorms to develop, daytime heating aided in the amount of instability. This led to pulse-like storms across the east, which
produced a few instances of large hail.

A tornado touched down initially just southwest of Pike CR 1 about 2.5 miles southwest of Troy Municipal Airport, where a large partially rotted tree was
snapped, and several large tree branches at the edges of plowed fields were snapped. It proceeded northeastward across wooded land and rapidly
intensified, becoming 700 yards wide as it crossed beeman creek. As it approached CR 1148, the tornado snapped numerous trees, also causing damage
to 3 inactive chicken barns. One of the barns lost about 50 percent of the roofing, with structural damage to less than 20 percent of the rafters. Snapped
trees also caused minor damage to 2 homes and a single-wide manufactured home. The tornado then weakened rapidly and dissipated over an open field
less than a mile from the airport.

A tornado crossed from Limestone into Madison County just north of Orville Smith Road where a single wide modular home lost much of its roof and tree
were snapped around it. Major structural damage occurred at the intersection of Yarbrough Road and Old Railroad Bed Road. This was one of the worst
hit areas around the Harvest community. Damage to homes, mostly collapsed roofs and some exterior wall damage continued east along Yarbrough Road
across Bridges Drive and Bedford Lane, just before Wall Triana Blvd. Also in this area, power poles were snapped near the base. Damage continued
across State Highway 53 just south of Jeff Road. The tornado snapped and uprooted trees along Quarter Mountain Road, Carters Gin Road, and Beaver
Dam Road just before Pulaski Pike. More significant damage bean to be seen along Patterson Lane, between Mount Lebanon Road and Harwell Lane where
wood power poles were snapped, numerous trees uprooted and several homes had roof loss. A large metal barn/shed lost it's roof and some of it's walls
were collapsed inward. Damage continued along U.S. Highway 231 at Meridianville Middle School where a concrete power pole was snapped an minor
roof damage occurred to nearby buildings.
The tornado then strengthened between Hubert Road and Walker Lane along Mitzi Drive. In this area, EF-2 to low end EF-3 damage was found as several
single story homes were destroyed with a loss of all walls. Other homes received significant damage with complete loss of roof and failure of exterior
walls. Estimated path width in this area was 200-250 yards. Just northeast of this location along Charley Patterson Road, EF-3 damage occurred as 3
brick veneer/cinder block houses were reduced to rubble. The tornado continued to produce significant damage along Butler Road just south of Walker
Lane where additional concrete power pols were snapped and large oak trees were snapped and uprooted. The damage path continued north of New
Market, near Hillsboro, with additional trees snapped and uprooted and some roof shingles were lost to some residences. Damage here suggests the
tornado was beginning to weaken. Along Davis Road, just south of Moe Road, numerous trees were snapped or uprooted with severe shingle loss to a
house about 200 yards away from the road. Beyond this, the tornado appeared to weaken and lift as it moved across the higher plateau region of extreme
northeast Madison County.

A tornado of EF-2 intensity with a peak wind speeds of 130 mph crossed portions of north central into northeast Madison County. The tornado began it's
path just south of the Meridianville-Madison County Executive Airport off Meridianville Bottom Road where several trees were snapped. The tornado
continued it's path eastward to Buckhorn High School before lifting at a farm across from the school on Winchester Road.
The tornado snapped power poles and lines along Moores Mill Road just north of Darwin Road. The tornado then intensified and destroyed a silo just east
of that location before snapping trees and collapsing a barn on Macon Lane. The EF-2 tornado continued east causing significant tree damage and
structural loss to residences along Rube Robinson Road and Morning Mist Drive. Most residences experienced roof damage, including loss of shingles and
windows blown out. One home on Morning Mist Drive completely collapsed and was torn off it's foundation. The tornado was at it's peak width of about
220 yards at this point, before narrowing to 50 to 100 yards as it re-crossed Rube Robinson Road. The tornado collapsed a roof and barn in this area, then
crossed fields for about 1 mile before reaching residents adjacent to Buckhorn High School on Shady Oak Lane ad Maysville Lane. A residence
experienced significant damage, with brick walls buckled and a large portion of the roof torn off. A nearby cinder block wall of a garage collapsed.
The tornado then tracked through the Buckhorn High School campus at a width of up to 100 yards. A block building used by the ROTC students adjacent to
the stadium collapsed. Several portions of the roof of the high school were torn off. Several cars in the parking lot were moved, twisted, and damaged
with some windows blown out. The tornado then crossed Winchester Road and severely damaged a farmhouse, snapped and uprooted trees and strewn
debris downwind across an adjacent cotton field where the tornado is believe to have lifted.

A tornado of up to EF-1 intensity produced peak wind speeds of 90 mph. The tornado snapped and uprooted trees just west of Highway 65 near
Francisco. The tornado tracked into far southwestern Franklin County in Tennessee for about another quarter of a mile before lifting. This tornado was
spawned from the supercell thunderstorm which had produced an EF-3 tornado in east central Limestone into northern Madison Counties earlier in the
morning. It is unknown if additional damage occurred with this tornado in the higher terrain of northeast Madison and northwest Jackson Counties as these
areas were inaccessible by ground vehicle.

North Alabama experienced a portion of a much larger outbreak of tornadoes and severe weather from the Ohio Valley south through
the Tennessee Valley to the Gulf Coast in advance of a strong cold front. The storms came in two waves. The first began during the
mid-morning hours when two tornadic supercells developed across north central Alabama. The tornadoes (one EF-3 and one EF-2)
tracked rapidly east-northeast across northeast Limestone and northern Madison Counties.
During the early afternoon, numerous thunderstorms re-erupted across north Alabama, including several supercells. Most of these
storms were large hail producers, in one case up to softball sized. Three additional weak tornadoes were spawned in Limestone
County. There were also reports of isolated wind damage. One last band of storms rolled through parts of north central and northeast
Alabama during the mid evening hours as the cold front moved through.

A swath of wind damage downed numerous trees and power lines, and destroyed one farm outbuilding. The path of damage began off County Road 434
just south of State Highway 24 north of the Five Points community. Here, severe small trees were snapped. Just southeast of this area along County
Roads 434 and 324, a farm outbuilding was completely destroyed by peak winds estimated to be 90 mph. Continuing to move south-southwest along a
path, several more trees were snapped or uprooted along County Road 87 heading south towards Five Points.
Near the Oakville community, several more small to moderate size trees were snapped along County Road 336. A pocket of winds estimated at 70 to 80
mph impacted a small area along County Road 203 around the Jesse Owens Memorial Park and Museum. At the park, a metal light pole was bent back
slightly and a small outhouse was pushed off it's foundation and partially destroyed. Tree branches were snapped around the park and near the museum,
but no structural damage occurred to the actual museum.
Heading farther south toward the interchange of State Highways 157 and 36 near Speake, an area of trees were either snapped or uprooted by estimated
wind speeds of 75 mph. All the uprooted trees were lying in a south-southwest direction. Outside of a few snapped tree branches along County Road 81
just south of Speake, no additional damage was noted.
Joe Wheeler Electric Membership Corporation reported a power outage that affected at least 831 customers.

Storm Data and Unusual Weather Phenomena - March 2012
A very unstable environment along with an approaching weak surface trough dropping through Tennessee ignited several supercell
thunderstorms during the mid afternoon through mid evening hours. A couple of the supercell storms tracked from southern and
southwester middle Tennessee through northwest and north central Alabama, producing long swaths of large hail, in some cases very
large hail up to tennis and softball sized. One of the storms produced a narrow swath of damaging winds across eastern Lawrence
County, including the Speake community. The winds destroyed a barn and garage, and knocked several trees and power lines down in
this area.
