NWS: Monday Night Storm Damage In Cottage Hill Was Not A Tornado
October 17, 2014
Damage to several homes and outbuilding in the Cottage Hill area Monday was not caused by a tornado — that’s the word from the National Weather Service in Mobile.
NWS forecasters said Thursday afternoon that there was no need for them assess the damage directly. Escambia County Emergency Management surveyed the damage and determined it was caused by straight line winds.
Four homes were damaged but were still liveable following the storms, plus the roofs of several barns and outbuildings were damaged. Several trees and power lines were also downed.
There were no injuries reported. There was a tornado watch, but no warnings, in effect as the storm hit.
