Damage Assessments From Tuesday’s Tornadoes
At this point, damage just south of Eufaula (Barbour Co.) is consistent with an EF-2 tornado with estimated winds at 130 MPH. That assessment is currently ongoing and the information may change. Due to keeping the staff isolated, NWS Birmingham is not giving out the planned survey details. Damage survey results will be released to the public when completed.
