Cullman Damage Classified
The National Weather Service Huntsville surveyed damage in Colbert and Lawrence Counties from yesterday and determined that two tornadoes occurred in those counties.
They also surveyed the damage in Cullman and here is their report…
The survey investigated three areas of damage in the Cullman city limits: Katherine Street, Arnold Street, and Highway 278. Damage primarily consisted of uprooted trees, which produced moderate to heavy damage to homes and cars. Damage in each area was consistent with staight lined winds, with maximum wind speeds near 110 mph.
This storm survey was completed by National Weather Service Huntsville Meteorologist-In-Charge Mike Coyne and Senior Forecaster David Nadler.
When the wind speeds are 110 mph, it does not matter whether it was a tornado or not. The damage is just as bad. Another example of why we MUST take severe thunderstorm warnings seriously!
