NWS Meteorologists surveyed damage in southwest Shelby County near Montevallo and determined it was the result of a tornado.
The tornado began on the southeast side of Montevallo along Clay Pit Road where an outbuilding was destroyed and two manufactured homes suffered minor damage. As the tornado moved northeast crossing State Route 155, a deputy sheriff observed the tornado and was blown off the road in his vehicle. This is also where dozens of trees were uprooted or snapped, and one house suffered minor roof damage. Maximum winds were estimated at 80 mph at this location. The tornado continued to produce tree damage as it crossed State Highway 25 and dissipated shortly after crossing County Road 23.
