HOUSTON COUNTY, Ala (WDHN) — The National Weather Service (NWS) determined an EF0 tornado struck the town of Cottonwood during early morning storms on Friday, May 10.

The tornado produced winds up to 85 mph.

An NWS report says the EF0 tornado touched down on Hooper Cherry Road early Friday morning, snapping trees before moving down A.J. Register Road, where winds caused significant damage to buildings.

The tornado continued southeast down Cottonwood Road near County Road 33 and Gene Terry Road south of Nobles Road. The NWS noted several buildings suffered roof damage along these roads.

The tornado dissipated around 4:20 a.m.

The NWS performed the survey remotely using photos provided by the Houston County EMA.

This is not the first time Cottownwood has been the center of Wiregrass storms. The small town suffered major destruction earlier this year after an EF-2 tornado touched down.

China's $47B semiconductor fund puts chip sovereignty front and center
China has closed a third state-backed investment fund to bolster its semiconductor industry and reduce reliance on other nations, both for using and for manufacturing wafers — prioritizing what is called chip sovereignty. China's National Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund, also known simply as 'the Big Fund,' had two previous vintages: Big Fund I (2014 to 2019) and Big Fund II (2019 to 2024).
