EF2 Tornado in Madison, Alabama - May 20th, 2025

"The National Weather Service Huntsville, AL has conducted a damage assessment following a tornado that impacted areas of Limestone and Madison Counties. The survey team determined that the damage observed is consistent with an EF-2 tornado, with maximum estimated wind speeds of 125 mph. The tornado was initially observed and filmed by multiple storm chasers west of Interstate 65 near Tanner, Alabama. As it crossed I-65 in the vicinity of the Highway 31 intersection, numerous trees were uprooted or snapped. The tornado tracked eastward, passing south of Huntsville-Brownsferry Road and moving towards Greenbrier Parkway. Along Greenbrier Parkway, multiple trees were uprooted, and several structures sustained minor roof damage. Sporadic tree damage continued east of Greenbrier Parkway toward Powell Road and Burgreen Road. Upon entering Madison County near the County Line Road area, the tornado caused minor roof damage to several single-family homes and downed trees onto some residences. One home located west of County Line Road experienced significant damage to its west-facing facade. Further tree damage, predominantly uproots, was observed between County Line Road and Wall Triana Highway, with several instances of trees falling on homes. The tornado reached its maximum intensity as it approached Hughes Road, specifically near Downing Ridge and Millsford Road. In this area, two single-family homes suffered major roof damage, with most or all of the roofing material removed. Numerous trees were also uprooted at this location. Continuing eastward, the tornado crossed Hughes Road in the Dublin Circle area. Sporadic tree damage was noted north of Eastview Drive through the Kensington Drive vicinity. It is believed the tornado likely dissipated before reaching Slaughter Road. Further details and data from this event may be released as they become available." DAt
