Tornado in Alabama, November 8, 2000

A tornado, the third in Baldwin county in a 45 minute time period, developed and followed a path very similar to a weaker tornado that occurred about 20 minutes earlier. This tornado touched down near the intersection of Highway 27 and Highway 32, moved northeast into the Woodmere subdivision (the same subdivision affected by a weaker tornado some 20 minutes earlier). This tornado produced moderate roof and structural damage to several homes in the Woodmere subdivision. The tornado then continued northeast into the Quail Creek subdivision, where it produced minor damage to a few homes, mainly to garage doors. The damage path through the two subdivisions was intermittent, suggesting that the tornado skipped across the ground. As the tornado moved out of the Quail Creek subdivision, it lifted off the ground, but continued moving northeast as a funnel cloud. Reports of a funnel cloud, not in contact with the ground, were received as the parent thunderstorm moved northeast toward Interstate 10 and then east of Bay Minette. No additional damage was reported.
