Shelby County Tornado Upgraded

Just a quick note that the NWS is now calling the Shelby county pre-dawn tornado Saturday morning an F1, instead of an F0 on the original survey:

PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
950 AM CDT MON MAY 2 2005

**UPDATED THE F-SCALE RATING**

...TORNADO TOUCHES DOWN IN SHELBY COUNTY...

AFTER FURTHER REVIEW OF THE DAMAGE...DAMAGE PHOTOS...AND RADAR DATA...THE TORNADO F-SCALE RATING HAS BEEN REVISED TO F1.

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE METEOROLOGISTS SURVEYED THE DAMAGE THAT AFFECTED THE HELENA, PELHAM, ALABASTER AND CHELSEA AREAS EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. THE DAMAGE WAS THE RESULT OF AN F1 TORNADO.

THE TORNADO FIRST TOUCHED DOWN JUST WEST OF CR 93 NEAR THE CAHABA WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA IN HELENA. THE TORNADO MOVED GENERALLY EASTWARD AND CROSSED CR 17, CR 58, US 31, I-65 AND CR 11 BEFORE ENDING NEAR CR 39. THE TORNADO DAMAGE PATH WAS APPROXIMATELY 11.4 MILES LONG AND 100 YARDS WIDE AT ITS WIDEST POINT. THE TORNADO WAS ON THE GROUND FROM APPROXIMATELY 504 AM CDT TO 518 AM CDT.

THE INITIAL DAMAGE WAS MINOR WITH ONLY A FEW TREES UPROOTED OR SNAPPED OFF WEST OF CR 17 IN HELENA. AS THE TORNADO CROSSED CR 17, IT INTENSIFIED AND CAUSED ITS MOST SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE. THE MOST CONCENTRATED AND SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE OCCURRED FROM NEAR SCURLOCK ROAD AND CR 17 EASTWARD ALONG CR 58 TO NEAR CR 95. SEVERAL SUBDIVISIONS WERE AFFECTED INCLUDING BRAELINN VILLAGE, AUTUMN RIDGE, NAVAJO HILLS, AMBERLEY WOODS AND PORT SOUTH. NUMEROUS HOMES SUFFERED
SHINGLE AND ROOF DAMAGE AND BROKEN WINDOWS. MANY TREES AND POWER LINES WERE BLOWN DOWN OR SNAPPED OFF. A FEW HOMES SUFFERED MAJOR DAMAGE DUE TO FALLEN TREES. SEVERAL AUTOMOBILES AND OUTBUILDINGS WERE DESTROYED. AS THE TORNADO CROSSED US 31 NEAR WALMART, SEVERAL LARGE TREES AND SIGNS WERE BLOWN DOWN. A FEW HOMES WERE DAMAGED ON CARROLL STREET AND DAVENPORT STREET JUST EAST OF US 31. FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TORNADOES PATH, THE DAMAGE WAS MINOR AND MAINLY AFFECTING ONLY TREES. THE TORNADO CROSSED WEATHERLY AND THE BALLANTRAE GOLF COURSE BEFORE ENDING JUST EAST OF CR 39 NEAR HIDDEN RIDGE.

You missed a subdivision -Timber Park - that seems to be the only subdivision seriously affected. My house had its roof nearly destroyed and the lady across the street had a tree wipe out a load bearing wall. My wife sustained the only injury I know of during the storm, a cracked bone in her elbow which occurred during our flight to safety.
