NWS confirms an EF-2 tornado hit parts of Butler County on May 10
The National Weather Service has confirmed that an EF-2 tornado hit parts of Butler County last week.
According to the report, the tornado started just after 2:00 a.m. on May 10 just west of State Highway 83 about 1 mile southwest of Midway in Conecuh County.
The then-EF-1 tornado snapped several trees while in a rotating pattern.
The tornado peaked in intensity at an estimated EF-2 strength as it crossed into Butler County where numerous pine trees were snapped in an area along portions of State Highway 106.
The NWS says a manufactured home was rolled near the intersection of State Highway 106 and Interstate 65. Trees were downed in several neighborhoods in Georgiana before the tornado likely lifted as the circulation dissipated just east of Georgiana.
The EF-2 tornado was said to have winds at 115 miles per hour.
