That’s four tornadoes - just this week - for Mobile County - AL.com

Mobile County has had more tornadoes in the past few days than many places have in a year or more.

The National Weather Service in Mobile on Friday confirmed that an EF1 with 90 mph winds touched down in the county during Thursday’s round of severe storms.

That comes just four days after the county got hit three separate times on Sunday, April 19. All three of those tornadoes were EF1s as well.

The newest tornado touched down at 6:37 a.m. Thursday in the western part of the county between Lott Road and Malone Road, according to a preliminary report from the weather service.

It was on the ground for 0.6 miles and was 75 yards wide at its peak.

The tornado damaged mostly trees, but one of those trees caused “significant” damage to a home, the weather service said.

Another house had its garage door blown in, and a shed was damaged as well.

Then there were the three tornadoes, all EF1s, that hit the county on Sunday.

One had 100 mph winds and struck in the west-central part of the county just west of Grand Bay Wilmer Road.

The second also hit western Mobile County just south of Hitt Road in the Smithfield subdivision and had 90 mph winds.

The third tornado on Sunday hit southwest Mobile County just east of the Mississippi state line and had top winds of 90 mph.

None of the four tornadoes caused any injuries, according to the weather service.

The weather service also said late Friday one other tornado has been confirmed in Alabama from Thursday’s storms. It was a brief EF0 that hit Covington County.

The weather service said more details on that storm would be available on Saturday.
