0735 PM     Tornado          5 W Gateswood           30.73N 87.67W

06/18/2026                   Baldwin            AL   NWS Storm Survey 



            After review of high resolution satellite 

            imagery and KMOB radar data a new EF1 

            tornado was found to have occurred north of 

            Gateswood. This tornado began northeast of 

            Brady Road after the previous tornado 

            dissipated. The tornado caused scattered 

            tree damage all along a persistent path 

            south of Brady Mill Dam Road. This is likely 

            where the tornado reached its peak intensity 

            and width with nearly all widely spaced 

            trees throughout the fields it crossed being 

            taken down in a nearly 400-yard-wide swath. 

            An extensive swath of damaging winds also 

            occurred to the south of the tornado track 

            with around 75 to 85mph RFD winds. The 

            tornado gradually weakened and narrowed 

            after crossing Brady Mill Dam Road and 

            County Road 112, with the damage path 

            becoming intermittent. The radar velocity 

            couplet off KMOB carried all the way through 

            the Escambia/Baldwin County line east of 

            River Road along with the intermittent 

            narrow damage path, supporting continuing 

            the tornado track through this location. 

            After crossing Perdido River, the tornado 

            quickly dissipated.
