| Episode Narrative | A tornado just before daybreak produced up to EF-1 damage in Marshall County from northwest of Douglas to south of Guntersville. |
| Event Narrative | A tornado began southwest of the intersection of Highpoint and McAllister Roads and north of Bearden Rd. Numerous hardwood trees were either uprooted or had large limb damage. As the tornado approached Highpoint Road, it caused minor roof damage to two single-family homes and destroyed a large shed, that was unanchored to its foundation. Damage indicators further upstream were consistent with the assessment at Highpoint Road. A mix of hardwood and softwood trees were either snapped or uprooted along portions of Nixon Chapel Road and Section Line Road. A more concentrated area of heavy tree damage, with significant mobile home roof damage and minor single home roof damage, was noted in an area between Windsor Road and Mt. Olive Road, likely where the tornado peaked in intensity. The tornado continued north-northeast toward U.S. Highway 431. The tornado started to quickly weaken as it crossed the junction of Oneonta Cutoff Road, Turnpike Road and County Road 205. Sporadic tree damage was observed around this location, causing power line damage. Finally, the tornado approached Highway 431 and damaged air-conditioning units and caused minor roof damage to two large retail buildings. Very minor limb damage was noted north of 431 where the tornado dissipated. |
