At least one tornado touched down in Alabama during Friday’s round of severe weather.

The Friday storm comes in addition to two tornadoes in southeast Alabama on Wednesday in that batch of storms.

But Friday’s tornado, in Mobile County, was different. Rare, even.

The National Weather Service in Mobile surveyed the damage from the storm and released a preliminary report on Saturday.

The tornado was an EF-1 with maximum winds estimated at 95 mph.

It was on the ground for 7.23 miles and had a path width of 30 yards. There were no injuries reported.

What makes this tornado different was that its winds were moving in the opposite direction than what’s found in a “typical” tornado.

The weather service says this tornado had an anti-cyclonic wind pattern. Most tornadoes have winds that rotate counterclockwise, but Friday’s storm bucked the trend.

According to information from NOAA, in the Northern Hemisphere, nearly all of the tornadoes rotate in a counterclockwise — or cyclonic — direction. Estimates indicate that maybe only 1 percent of tornadoes are anticyclonic.

The weather service said the tornado began near Bucks just west of the Mobile River and was associated with a powerful complex of storms (a mesoscale convective system or MCS) that was moving through the area at the time. The tornado crossed the Tensaw River, damaging some trees.

It turned east and crossed Live Oak Road, continuing to damage trees. After that, the weather service said, the tornado likely lifted somewhere on Live Oak Road.

The weather service said additional intense straight-line wind damage of up to 90 mph was seen near the path.
