Thursday McDavid Storm Was Not A Tornado
May 16, 2008
The storm damage Thursday in McDavid was the result of strong straight line winds, not a tornado.
The National Weather Service said preliminary reports indicate that the damage was a result of straight line winds estimated at 80 to 85 mph. Most of the damage that occurred was along North Century Boulevard, where seven structures were damaged with roofs off two homes. Power lines were also down in the area.
Gary Beeler from the National Weather Service office in Mobile surveyed the damage Friday in McDavid.
