intensity and caused considerable damage to several structures. Continuing northeast, the tornado weakened a bit as it crossed
Interstate 65 in the vicinity of mile marker 202, approximately 3 miles south of the Clanton Exit. The tornado was still strong enough
at this time to down several large trees and block the northbound lanes of traffic. After crossing the interstate, the tornado regained
F2 intensity moving through the Cooper Community. The tornado produced extensive structural damage in Cooper. Several homes,
businesses, mobile homes and out-buildings were damaged or destroyed. Hundreds of trees were blown down or snapped off in this
area. The tornado moved across eastern Chilton County and went across Lake Mitchell. At Lake Mitchell, on the Chilton/Coosa

in this area. The tornado then moved through rural Coosa County crossing US 231 just south of the Hanover Community. The
tornado dissipated shortly after US 231. The tornado damage path was 49.1 miles long and an astounding 1400 yards wide at its
