Survey Summary:
A post storm assessment, with images provided by Jackson County
EMA, showed damaged consistent with a short-lived EF-0 tornado in
eastern Jackson County. This assessment was cross referenced with
NWS WSR-88D data from Hytop, AL. The tornado appeared to have 
briefly touched down between Pisgah and Rosalie near CR-151 and 
CR-58. Damage to a metal roof on a farm building roof was observed
at this location. The weak tornado tracked northeast toward 
CR-126 where minor roof damage and hardwood tree uproots were 
noted on a single family house property. The tornado likely lifted
near CR-361 after it caused hardwood tree damage.
