tornado">multi-vortex tornado</a> moved across north-central <a href="/wiki/Alabama" title="Alabama">Alabama</a>, in the U.S., striking numerous towns along its 47-mile (76 km) track, including <a

Alabama">Arab</a> and <a href="/wiki/Ruth,_Alabama" title="Ruth, Alabama">Ruth</a>. The tornado killed 6, injured over 40, and impacted hundreds of structures. It occurred as part of the <a href="/wiki/2011_Super_Outbreak" title="2011 Super Outbreak">largest tornado outbreak in modern history</a>, and was the second violent tornado of the outbreak, touching down after the <a href="/wiki/2011_Philadelphia,_Mississippi_tornado" title="2011 Philadelphia, Mississippi tornado">Philadelphia, Mississippi tornado</a>. </p><p>The tornado first touched down in <a href="/wiki/Cullman_County,_Alabama" title="Cullman County, Alabama">Cullman County</a> before entering the city limits of <a href="/wiki/Cullman,_Alabama" title="Cullman, Alabama">Cullman</a>, where EF4 damage was recorded to numerous buildings, including a large church in the downtown area. The tornado then left the Cullman area, moving through Fairview and heavily damaging multiple buildings located in the town. As the tornado tracked through <a href="/wiki/Morgan_County,_Alabama" title="Morgan County, Alabama">Morgan</a> and <a href="/wiki/Marshall_County,_Alabama" title="Marshall County, Alabama">Marshall</a> counties, it struck several smaller villages, including Ruth, where heavy damage was documented. Shortly after crossing the <a href="/wiki/Tennessee_River" title="Tennessee River">Tennessee River</a>, the tornado dissipated. </p><p>The tornado devastated downtown Cullman, inflicting an estimated $13.5 million (2011 <a href="/wiki/USD" class="mw-redirect" title="USD">USD</a>) to the city and causing widespread power outages throughout Cullman County. The tornado had maximum estimated windspeeds of 175 miles per hour (282 km/h), classifying it as violent.
