just not long after the tornadoes in Cullman and Cordova, the town of Smithville was next. this small town near the mississippi, alabama border was not prepared for the tornado that formed right nearby, this small tornado soon grew to a large wedge, which unsuspectingly nearly destroyed the whole town. this village didnt have time to react as their homes were destroyed infront of their eyes. this tornado had initially touched down in Wren, before lifting and touching down back in smithville, this tornado quickly grew as it rampaged through the town and killed 20. it then stayed on the ground, slowly weakening before dissipating long after crossing into Alabama.
