NWS Meteorologists surveyed damage in northern Dallas County east of Marion Junction and determined it was the result of a tornado.
A very brief tornado was spawned by a low topped convective shower. The tornado touched down near the Potter Station community shortly after 4 PM CDT. The tornado first snapped small trees and large tree limbs along County Road 214 just north of County Road 945 before crossing County Road 942. A home on the east side of the road sustained damage when the carport was lifted upward off its supports. This resulted in additional roof damage as well as minor damage to the brick facade. A window was blown out of the house and one car was damaged due to the falling carport. The roof was being replaced at the time this damage occurred. At this point, the tornado reached its maximum intensity of around 75 mph. The tornado tracked north-northeast producing additional sporadic tree damage before lifting just south of County Road 209. At the last discernible damage point, a tree fell and damaged a large outbuilding. No additional damage was noted north of County Road 209, though access to those areas was very limited.
Special thanks to the Autauga County EMA for their assistance in the survey.
