NWS Meteorologists surveyed damage in Coosa County southeast of Rockford and determined it was the result of a tornado.
The tornado touched down initially in a grove of pine trees just east of County Road 40 in Coosa County, uprooting about a half dozen mature trees. It then traveled east-northeastward to Nixburg Rd, where several pines were uprooted, and a quarter of the metal roofing was peeled off a home. From there, the tornado continued across a wooded area in the Little Sam Jack Creek basin and then crossed County Road 30 and County Road 101. Numerous pines were uprooted or snapped in the area, and a few hardwoods were uprooted. The tornado path then crossed Alabama Hwy 22, where several pines and a hardwood were uprooted. One of the pines caused major damage to the corner of a manufactured home, and one uprooted hardwood grazed the front of another home causing minor damage. The tornado dissipated in the woods somewhere between Alabama Hwy 22 and Alabama Hwy 9.
