Strong winds up to 70 mph or higher knocked down or uprooted several trees in a couple of areas of northwest Alabama.  An EF-0 tornado occurred in eastern Lauderdale County.

Tornado in LAUDERDALE, ALABAMA
From 22-MAR-22 16:29:00 to 22-MAR-22 16:34:00 (CST-6)
Location: TOONERSVILLE
Tornado F-scale: EF0
Reported by: NWS Storm Survey

A tornado formed west of County Road 51 north of Mount Bethel Road and snapped a few small tree limbs. It then progressed north-northeast along County Road 51, uprooting progressively larger trees and causing one tree to fall on an abandoned building. A metal awning was lofted approximately 50 yards downstream of the tornado. The tornado then crossed County Road 51 near County Road 543. A house sustained minor shingle damage and a detached garage had a failure point at a southward-facing garage door, which then allowed the tornado to lift portions of the metal roof. The tornado then tracked northward and caused roof damage to outbuildings of the Whitehead Baptist Church and then moved north-northeast, uprooting trees and snapping small limbs along the  track. A tree fell on another home, and powerlines had fallen along the track. The tornado lifted on County Road 89 after snapping a few small tree limbs. Debris fallout continued for another 100 yards or so downstream of the tornado end point.
