Clarke County Tornado The tornado first touched down along
Highway 18 and tracked east northeast to at least County Road
421. It is possible that this tornado tracked into Alabama since
it was still snapping trees about a half mile from the state
border. Hundreds of trees were snapped and uprooted. A roof to a
house was damaged, two outbuildings were heavily damaged and a
deer stand was destroyed. These images from the Mobile, AL
Doppler radar show the tornadic thunderstorm at 4:06pm just
before the tornado touched down in eastern Clarke County. The
