SUMTER COUNTY --- 0.3 WSW SILOAM [32.43, -88.28], 1.7 E SILOAM [32.43, -88.24] 02/07/18 05:11 CST 0 Tornado (EF0, L: 1.97 mi , W: 150 yd) 02/07/18 05:14 CST 0 Source: NWS Storm Survey The National Weather Service surveyed damage near Siloam in southern Sumter County and determined the damage was consistent with an EF0 tornado, with maximum sustained winds near 80 mph. The tornado started on the east side of a private lake south of Buck Creek where it uprooted two trees, one causing minor damage to a lake house roof. The tornado continued east into a forested area near Buck Creek where it uprooted several more trees. The tornado continued east toward a convenience store at the intersection of County Road 9 and Highway 17. It caused heavy roof damage to the south side of a house and tore two pieces of sheet metal off of the convenience store. The tornado continued east through a densely forested area and tree damage was found further east along a portion of Walker Road between Highway 17 and U.S. Highway 80. The tornado likely dissipated just to the east of this point. MARENGO COUNTY --- 2.6 NNW OLD SPRING HILL [32.46, -87.79], 3.1 NW FAUNSDALE [32.48, -87.62] 02/07/18 05:44 CST 0 Tornado (EF1, L: 10.07 mi , W: 1100 yd) 02/07/18 05:57 CST 0 Source: NWS Storm Survey The National Weather Service surveyed damage in northern Marengo County and determined the damage was consistent with an EF1 tornado, with maximum sustained winds near 100 mph. The tornado began near the intersection of U.S. Highway 43 and County Road 54 where damage to cedar trees was observed. The tornado continued east through a heavily forested area and crossed French Creek. Tree damage was observed along County Road 1. The tornado moved further east crossing Alabama Highway 69 where, on the north side, a large tree crushed the south side of a single wide mobile home. Further south, on the south side of the path, near Windsor Drive and Alabama Highway 69, a large farm equipment building lost its roof and walls while wooden supports remained intact. Two mobile homes nearby sustained minor damage to their roofs and siding on the south side. A recreational camper was blown over and crushed a vehicle. Trees were uprooted and split in the vicinity. The tornado pushed east, paralleling Windsor Drive, and caused additional damage to trees that were either uprooted or split. The damage peaked where a single wide mobile home was lofted and blown to the northeast about 30 feet from its original position. The mobile home was less than a year old but appeared to lack any substantial anchoring system. The walls and roof were completely torn away from the floor base and nearly all of the contents were deposited downwind. This appears to be the climax of the tornado's intensity, and winds were estimated to be near 100 mph. To the south of the mobile home's original position was a metal barn that collapsed and destroyed. The tornado made a slight turn to the northeast where it caused damage to an agricultural crop sprinkler system and snapped a power pole along Allenville Road. It then crossed U.S. Highway 80 and damaged two road signs and caused timber damage. The tornado continued northeast and crossed into Hale County near Cottonwood Creek. BIBB COUNTY --- 0.3 WSW BIBB MILL [32.95, -86.92], 0.4 ENE BIBB MILL [32.95, -86.91] 02/07/18 05:51 CST 0 Tornado (EF0, L: 0.67 mi , W: 50 yd) 02/07/18 05:52 CST 0 Source: NWS Storm Survey The National Weather Service surveyed damage in southeast Bibb County and determined the damage was consistent with an EF0 tornado, with maximum sustained winds near 65 mph. The tornado touched down just to the west of Shady Grove Road just north of the Randolph Community. About 20-30 trees were either snapped or uprooted. Roof damage occurred to one home on Shady Grove Loop when a tree fell on it. Another home had a few shingles removed on Alabama Highway 139. The tornado dissipated just to the east of Highway 139. HALE COUNTY --- 4.9 ESE GALLION [32.48, -87.62], 5.9 S SLEDGE [32.49, -87.60] 02/07/18 05:57 CST 0 Tornado (EF0, L: 1.36 mi , W: 455 yd) 02/07/18 05:58 CST 0 Source: NWS Storm Survey Page 1 of 256 Printed on: 03/28/2019 Storm Data and Unusual Weather Phenomena - February 2018 Location Date/Time Deaths & Property & Event Type and Details Injuries Crop Dmg The National Weather Service surveyed damage in southeast Hale County and determined the damage was consistent with an EF0 tornado, with maximum sustained winds near 65 mph. This tornado was a continuation of a tornado that began near Highway 43 in Marengo County. The tornado crossed into Hale County near Cottonwood Creek and was in a dissipation phase, only producing some minor damage to trees before it dissipated near County Road 25. CHILTON COUNTY --- 2.1 WNW JEMISON [32.96, -86.78], 1.1 NNE JEMISON [32.96, -86.74] 02/07/18 06:03 CST 0 Tornado (EF0, L: 2.49 mi , W: 300 yd) 02/07/18 06:06 CST 0 Source: NWS Storm Survey The National Weather Service surveyed damage in northern Chilton County and determined the damage was consistent with an EF0 tornado, with maximum sustained winds near 80 mph. The tornado began near the intersection of County Road 25 and County Road 42, about 2 miles west of the city of Jemison, and traveled east along County Road 42. Damage was minimal at first and confined to downed limbs and a loss of metal roofing and shingles on a few structures. The tornado quickly intensified and grew wider near the intersection of County Road 42 and County Road 38, where numerous structures sustained damage. The St. James Highland Bible Church lost a significant portion of its metal roof and wooden trusses. The roof did not appear to be particularly well constructed, and the damage was consistent with winds near 80 mph. Supporting evidence for the classification of a tornado was quite strong in this location, and debris from the church was thrown northward across the path of the tornado. Several homes near this location also sustained a loss of shingles and other roof covering materials. The tornado weakened somewhat as it moved towards downtown Jemison, where falling trees caused significant damage to mobile homes near the intersection of Patton Street and Hotel Street. As the tornado moved just east of U.S. Highway 31, damage was relatively minor and limited to carports, shingles, and a few uprooted trees. The tornado dissipated about one quarter mile east of U.S. Highway 31 near Chilton Circle. AUTAUGA COUNTY --- 2.1 N INDEPENDENCE [32.56, -86.72], 2.0 W JOFFRE [32.57, -86.68] 02/07/18 07:04 CST 0 Tornado (EF0, L: 1.97 mi , W: 150 yd) 02/07/18 07:08 CST 0 Source: NWS Storm Survey The National Weather Service surveyed damage in central Autauga County and determined the damage was consistent with an EF0 tornado, with maximum sustained winds near 70 mph. The tornado touched down just to the west of County Road 79 in rural Autauga County and moved eastward towards County Road 19. Numerous trees were snapped and uprooted along the path. The damage path widened just to the west of County Road 19. A single family home sustained minor siding damage and several trees were snapped an uprooted around the home. Splattering of debris was noted on two sides of the home. The tornado dissipated near County Road 19. MARENGO COUNTY --- 0.8 SW NICHOLSVILLE [32.01, -87.91], 0.8 SSE NICHOLSVILLE [32.01, -87.90] 02/07/18 07:16 CST 0 Tornado (EF0, L: 0.78 mi , W: 100 yd) 02/07/18 07:18 CST 0 Source: NWS Storm Survey The National Weather Service surveyed damage in extreme southern Marengo County near the town of Nicholsville and determined the damage was consistent with an EF0 tornado, with maximum sustained winds near 60 mph. The tornado touched down in the Nicholsville Community just to the northwest of Crystal Lane. Several trees were uprooted or snapped as the tornado crossed Crystal Lane. A barn then sustained significant roof damage, where pieces of the metal roof were thrown about.

  • Description of the Study Area

    Description of the Study Area

    Description of the study Area Description: Description of the Study Area: The Big Piney Watershed is located in central Missouri and covers approximately 755 square miles in four counties. These counties include Texas, Howell, Phelps, and Pulaski Counties (see Big Piney- map.pdf). Most of the watershed (74%) lies within Texas County, while Pulaski, Phelps, and Howell Counties contain 14%, 12%, and less than 1% of the watershed respectively. The Big Piney Watershed is bounded on the west, north and a portion of the east side by the remainder of the Gasconade Basin. The Meramec, Current, and Jacks Fork Watersheds bound the Big Piney on the remainder of the East side, while the North Fork watershed lies on its southern boundary. The Big Piney Watershed has 5 cities and towns within or partially within its boundary. They include Cabool, Houston, Licking, Raymondville, and St. Robert. The Big Piney's land cover use is described in the Big Piney Land cover use.pdf. The majority of the Big Piney is fores, with grassland being a distant second as far as land use/cover type. The Big Piney River begins as a first order stream approximately 4 miles northwest of Cabool, Missouri. From its beginnings, the stream flows in a southeasterly direction for approximately 4 miles before entering the city of Cabool, Missouri. It then continues in a southeasterly direction for 2 miles before turning northeast and following the outskirts of Cabool for an additional 2 miles. From Cabool, the river continues in a northeasterly direction for 35 miles before turning to the North, Northeast.

OF LABOR ORGANIZATIONS IN MASSACHUSETTS, 1?63 With Statistics of Membership 1961-62-63 INTRODUCTION The material here presented constitutes the Fifty-Eighth Directory of Labor Organizations in Massachusetts. The first Directory of this kind was published in August, 1902. The term "Labor Organizations" as used in this Directory is a group of employees or wage earners organized for the purpose of improving their status through negotiations with employers, except in the cases of employees of governmental agencies, the organization is usually a party to either a written or verbal agreement concerning wages and conditions of employ- ment. Since the last Directory was issued many new unions have been organized, others have become inactive or disbanded. The Department has quite complete records of unions in existence by reason of "statements" required by Chapter 618, Acts of 19U6 (Revised by Chapter 39k, Acts of 19U9). This edition consists of four divisions, as follows: I. " National and International Organizations" having one or more affil- iated local unions in the United States , (pages 3-13 )• II. " Delegate Organizations" consisting of organizations composed of delegates from local unions whose members are in trades or industries of a like character within a definite district, or of delegates from local unions in the same locality, not necessarily in similar trades, (pages 1U-2U).
