Leeds Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
National Weather Service meteorologists surveyed damage in southeast Jefferson County and determined that it was consistent with an EF1 tornado, with maximum winds near 95 mph. This tornado crossed over from Shelby County into Jefferson County near Southerland Place Drive. It straddled the Jefferson-Shelby County line producing mostly uprooted and snapped trees on the west side of Double Oak Mountain. Sporadic tree and power line damage was observed along Highway 25 with several homes in the Oak Crossing area receiving minor roof and structural damage. One large tree fell through a manufactured home and destroyed the structure. The tornado began to weaken rapidly as it approached Highway 78. The tornado crossed into St. Clair County near Moss Avenue.
Numerous trees and power lines were blown down across much of the southern portion of Jefferson County, especially around from the Hoover and Riverchase areas eastward to Leeds. At least one tree fell on and badly damaged a house.
