Tornado. The EF-2 tornado touched down on Highway 97 between Hayneville and Lowndesboro. Hundreds of trees were snapped or uprooted in a half-mile wide swath across Highway 97. The tornado continued to the northeast and intensified as it moved over mainly pastureland. Just south of Highway 80, the tornado struck a farm, significantly damaging a large, well-constructed cattle barn. A second large metal cattle barn was mostly destroyed as well. Numerous power poles were snapped or downed along Highway 80. A heavy-duty dumpster was lofted and thrown approximately 250 yards across Highway 80. Tin roofing material and other debris was lofted and blown over one-quarter mile. The tornado continued across Highway 80, damaging multiple homes along Lake Berry Road. One home had the roof largely removed resulting in the cement block foundation cracking. Three to five additional homes had minor roof damage. The tornado continued northeastward toward the old GE Plastics Plant where it mowed down numerous trees and flipped several empty semi���trailers onto their sides. The tornado lifted just north of the Gate 1 entrance to the plant and east of County Road 37.
