The tornado touched down just east of the Alabama/Mississippi state
line and tracked eastward before quickly lifting after it crossed
Tom Gaston Road. The tornado first toppled an irrigation watering
system, and then passed through two private residential properties
where it destroyed a barn, along with numerous broken branches and
a few snapped trees. The most significant damage occurred shortly
after to a private industrial property where three silos and a barn
were destroyed, three empty semi trailers were tipped over, and one
door of a large metal building was blown in and the other blown out.
