opens the federal record of that event.
The tornado formed and intensified quickly about two miles south|of Plantersville along County Road 63, uprooting swaths of trees|right from the start. The tornado travelled northward into|Plantersville and intensified to its maximum intensity of a|140 MPH EF3 tornado in the south end of town, where trees across|the entire area were uprooted, snapped, and even debarked.|Several homes and businesses were destroyed, which unfortunately|resulted in two fatalities and two injuries. The tornado began a|more northeasterly trajectory as it left Plantersville, but still|remained strong as it crossed into Autauga County.
The tornado began in a wooded area just east of the Perry/Dallas County line. It quickly reached its peak intensity of 95 mph as it crossed County Road 272 where dozens of trees were snapped or uprooted, blocking the roadway for over a quarter of a mile as it paralleled the road. Additional trees were downed along County Roads 290 and 305, but the tornado weakened as it approached Plantersville. Still, several trees were downed along Dallas County 560 and Highway 22 in Plantersville. The tornado then crossed into Chilton County.
