NWS Meteorologists surveyed damage in extreme southern Perry County and determined it was the result of a tornado.
The tornado touched down just west of Central Mills Road (County Road 1) in far southern Perry County. This located is about 7 miles south southeast of Uniontown. The tornado tracked eastward and crossed County Road 1 and White Hill Road. Several trees were snapped off and many tree tops were removed. One home had a large section of its roof removed, but it appears that the wind got under the porch overhang, and lifted metal paneling and roof. The tornado then took a slight left turn and crossed Rev RL Flowers Road and into Dallas County. The tornado ended shortly thereafter. The tornado lifted about 5 miles northwest of Safford. The tornado damage was mainly limited to all tree damage and was mainly in very rural areas.
