Photos from the Miller's Ferry Tornado that struck at 12:15 pm on 3/1/07
Wilcox County, Alabama

Tornado's path shown here from the bottom right of the photo to the upper left of the photo. 
The storm was 300-400 yards wide.  Several mobile homes were located in
 this area along with several site built homes in the $200 - $300,000 range.  None stood a chance.

Numerous fallow deer were killed in the area. 

The tornado was on the ground for 3 to 4 miles.  It touched down on the west side of the river,
crossed the river just above the Miller's Ferry Dam and slammed into the community of
Miller's Ferry along Sand Island Road.

The three photos below were received in an email and were reportedly taken by an ambulance worker.

Numerous fish were reportedly scattered across the ground, apparently sucked into the
tornado as it made it's way across the river.  Here's a picture of a minnow that met that fate.
