Event narrative

The tornado touched down at Hayes Road and Armstrong Road (County Road 36),

producing sporadic tree damage. A shed at a residence was destroyed. The

tornado continued on its intermittent track, producing additional damage

on Garden Road (County Road 35). Damage was confined to some tree damage with

a downed power line. A mobile home suffered very minor damage. The tornado

appears to have lifted just east of Garden Road, but areas to the east were

not accessible.

Strong to severe thunderstorms developed ahead of a cold

front Sunday, producing large hail, a couple of tornadoes, and isolated

straight line wind damage. Two EF-0 tornadoes were identified by a NWS

Survey Team in Conecuh and Butler Counties. In addition, a significant

swath of straight line wind damage was surveyed in far northwest Butler

County.
